That's what I was going to do w/ my old arms. Riding through the woods in the tall grass, it beat the hell out of the Powder Coating on the arms. Next time I'm up @ my parents I think a sway bar is on the project list. 8)

  I'd LOVE to have a Rath but I figured my money is better spent elsewhere.  New tires this year were a must.   The guy who mounted my tires a few weeks ago cut the bead on my new rear tire so now I have to pick up another one.  I hate to take a chance on studding a tire that possibly won't seal up.   :mad:

Will these swaybar setups work for any flat track racing? Is there any downside to having them for trail riding?

   You definately DON'T want these for trail riding!!!  It makes both front wheels work in unison which would be bad for anothing not completely flat.  I get zero side tilt with the sway bar hooked up.  But yes, they would work for any flat track racing as the help transfer weight in the corners.

  I made my own.  Pretty easy and very adjustable.  Painted it with Rino-lining so it looks good and takes a beating.  :thumbs:

  Bummer,  You'd like riding here.  But it's supposed to be in the high 30's so it may be wet by mid-afternoon.  :(    We have better trophies!  :thumbs:
