How do you guys that have this front end like it... Any probs you had with them? dose the quad sit as low as other arms(i.e protrax)?

Thanks in advance

I thought the stickers would have fallen off after the first ride when i got them, but they didnt, and that pic was taken about 3 months ago, and still have them on, some chips to the stickers, but thats it

Mine are black too, which makes it worse. Every little thing shows up on them.......Oh well

LOL, well hear what happened when i first got them on: the mechanics down at the local shop took forever to put on, and didn't adjust the shocks right, and they sag way too much. And then i went for my first ride in the back of their shop, and them d*** right lower a-arm came off and got all scratched up and looks horrible jsut because they forgot to tighten the bolt!!! but i couldnt do anything because my friend's dad owns the shop, and i was screwed with an all sratchedup a-arm, and havent been able to call K&K atv yet, but i have to do that soon.

I took pictures again today, it looks awesome, but i need to get all these parts on it. adn im gettin a YZF motor in about 2 weeks

I had one of my bottom a-arms fall off too...Except, I was on a track...Budds Creek to be exact. I put mine on. I called K&K and they said you have to put loc tite on them. They should put a little direction packed in with them or something
