Grab Bar and Number Plate- I ordered this grab bar after I decided to get into MX racing, so I needed it for the number plate feature. This grab bar is constructed of aluminum, and the mounting brackets are the toughest looking brackets I have ever seen. The only problem I had with this grab bar, was that when I was putting it on, the mounting brackets were a little less than parallel, so I couldn't fit the mounting brackets over the frame. What I had to do was pry the bracket over the frame using a large screwdriver, which I don't think should be necessary when installing a grab bar. I have heard that this happens every now and then to some people, but for the most part, AC makes their grab bars fit perfectly, so I might have just got one of the bum grab bars. The number plate that comes with it is a vented design, and it seems to be very durable. I would suggest mounting the number plate using zip-ties, so that the plate can move around a little bit instead of cracking off in a hard hit. This is a great grab bar for anyone who wants to get into MX, or just someone who wants to spruce up their quad with a little shiny aluminum.
Mud Screen Bumper- Again, this is made out of durable aluminum, and comes with the same hefty mounting brackets that are included on the grab bar. Unlike the grab bar, the mounting brackets on the bumper fit perfectly, causing me no problems when I mounted it. This is a great looking item that seems like it will last for years. You can even put numbers for racing right on the mud screen if you wanted to. This is a definite must have for any rider who wants more protection for their quad, along with adding a certain cool factor to their quad.
Nerf Bars- These are, of course, constructed of aluminum, and come with colored nylon netting of your choice. Mounting these was a little work, I had to use several washers on the engine mounting brackets to get the nerf bars to fit properly since I didn't get the required spacers with the bars, and I had to drill several holes in the pegs for the bolts to go into. I was able to leave my heel guards in place with only minor modification. The netting is very strong, and mounts up very easily, but taking it off again looks like it could be a chore. Anyone who will be racing MX must have nerf bars, and I highly suggest these. Woods racers will also benefit from these nerf bars, since they fend off sticks and trees that could otherwise wedge themselves between your wheels. |
