Saved in case I need it.

 

Beautiful build. Mulling doing the same to my 400HO!

 

Wow very busy first few days. First of all welcome and looks like your well on your way to personalizing your ride. Looks great so far! Welcome to the board by the way.

 

Thanks. I like to stay busy.

 

Welcome to the Forums, we live in N. Bama and my wife just got the same bike 2 weeks ago. She loves it.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

No pics of the exhaust finished?

 

Thanks for the welcome everyone!



I haven't finished it yet lol. I still have to go buy the elbow and have it welded.

 

BOOM!

 

looks good..can I ask a ? why did you run rigid pipe all the way and not a flexible hose to rigid fittings...would of been easier to route house thru the frame...plus would of been easier to disconnect hose if you needed to get in certain areas....

 

Because I'm not going to risk a small twig finding its way through that hose and costing me an engine.

 

if you look at the baltic skid plates theres virtualy no reduction in ground clearance.
but im still in the blue if I should use hard or flex. stil have a month or two to decide. its like 10 degrees out so screw workin on anything.
but your setup does look good though for sure.

 

I'm referring to if I were to run the pipe below the atv. The skid plate would probably have to be customized to accommodate it, so I would lose GC

 

did you glue the pvc pipes or just press fit them..if glued wont it be a bitch if you need to work in an area where pipes are....a pressed fit wont last long...

 

another advantage about flex pvc is you can buy the flex sleeve to quik connect to rigid pvc.
just uses two hose clamps. or boot clamps.
helps with doing hourly PM's on your atv

 

IF I ever have the need to get anything done and the snorkels are in the way, I will just remove them and start over. It was a fun project and I'm not afraid now to do it again.

 

Got my exhaust snorkel welded today.


Also Kewee, I ordered some flex pvc tonight so I'll be redoing the snorkels. I thought you were referring to the vacuum hose at first so I'm not sure if this is what you were trying to push me towards. I bought 25' of black schedule 40 1.5" tubing.

 

Yes, I'm referring to the kind you have bought. That hose looking PVC stuff is for like sumps and what not.
When are you doing the switch up?

Hopefully next weekend. I just broke both rear axles so that has to be fixed as well.

 

Nice work...... your submarine upgrades are coming along nicely!!

 

Snappin

 

I emailed gorilla axle and they said they don't have them but if I take one front and one rear they could make them for 375 bucks... A piece. After my clutch I'll get some axles and tires
Nice thing for OEM is they aren't a too bad price

Highlifter has axle bar kits for ours that I'm going to do after I get them replaced under warranty... hopefully. I broke my right axle at the differential, the left boot is torn and clicking now. My upper a-arm on the right side is fractured so it has to be replaced. I broke my rear box. And last but not least the mount where the a-arm connects to the frame or whatever it is, is bent.

 

Just from muddin or did you hit something?

Just riding down a creek.

Right rear

Fractured A-arm

Left rear

 

Off topic ..love the stock wheels on the silverado. Out side black looks sharp with out spending lots of cash on aftermarket wheels.

 

Thanks. One of my favorite mods to it.

 

Lol who cares about the silv. The 570 will be a pretty penny to fix. It seems like the 570 make too much power for the axles they put on them. Knock on wood for mine...

The cash saved on aftermarket wheels should pay to fix the 570. And buy a canoe.

 

Damn..that sucks, is the creek bottom rocky?...I have heard of similar results from a rock getting stuck in between the caliper and the rim. Maybe check the inside of your rim for marks? Then again, maybe just weak axles...

 

It's rocky and sandy. Yes there were marks throughout my inner right rear.

 

Might want to have a good look at the caliper on that side also, make sure the mounting brackets aren't damaged...

 

Is this where the bigger rims come into play? Lol

Hey man, I see I follow you on Instagram as well!

is the dealer covering your broken axle?

I snapped one this morning

 

What is your @?

And kewee, they are covering everything under "good will" because I've had it for such a short time.
