A-Arm Guard Panic
I finally found the time to install my new A-Arm guards from The ATV Superstore. Before I took off the tires I held them up to each A-Arm to get a feel for how they would fit. Imagine my panic when the right rear seemed like it wasn't even close. My trip up to the U.P. is less than a week away so if they didn't fit there was no way to remedy the problem in time. But after a quick chat via online support with Thor he assured me that if I took the tire off and worked with the guard a bit it would fit. He was right and they look sweet on my machine. Thanks Thor for both the A-Arm guards and the pep talk.

They look great in black!!!
MUCH more coverage than my Moose guards. (Front only) I really wanted diamond plate and bought Moose brand before I knew how good the Ricochets where... ;( I have them on the back thou!!!
Here is mine for a comparison. I decided to leave the factory guards on as the Moose didn't cover the same areas as the stockers did...

Black looks great. I was wondering how the color holds up to scrapes and scratches. Would silver show after a little use? Let us know.
