Weren't the mounts parallel on the quad? If so yes but I don't think that's how the quad was.

Yep they were parallel on the quad. So i should be good to go there. Still having trouble with these dang tabs. They all look like crap and my notcher wont notch then and grinding them will take forever. Gonna have to figure out something else. May me getting some from ole Spec after all.

For tabs I was actually looking at finding square tube (rectangle actually) of the right width to clear the A-arms pivots and laying it across the chassis. Mark where the frame tubes are and notch it to fit right over the frames main tubes. Then weld it to the tubs nearly all the way around the notch. Then just drill holes for the arms to mount to. The tube going across will help support the frame to. (Yah it adds a lil weight) It could be slotted or drilled for looks and lightening.

When I used to make tabs from scratch before I had a plasma cutter I used to use 1 1/2'' X 3/16'' or 1/4'' flat stock measure out the hole spacing...Chuck it up in the drill press cut my 1 1/4'' holes or what ever size the tubing I was working with...Change to the drill size for my mounting holes, drill them ... Then cut 5 or 6 of the strips in the band saw. I would then set the saw at 45* and lop off the corners on the mount end, put them in a vice and soft stone to a nice rounded finish...
 ;D ::) :o ;D 8) ::) :-* :) ;) :D
God am I glad I came up with the bars of tabstock 5:

When I first bought my buggy I was making my own tabs also. Time consuming!!!! Finally found a place 5 miles from me that stocks about 50 different styles of them. What do you think about those heavy ass green quad tires SPEC? My brother put the same ones on his kfx 400 and hates em'.

We're off topic... sorry..
I had some red ones on my 460 a while back they seemed to hook up well,
But that was oval dirt track racing...They have a fairly short lifespan...and do look cool especially when you do do-nuts in the parking lot and leave red burnouts ::)

My brother was thinking about sending his green ones to skat trac and having them put just the paddle blades on them. Then they would be cool. ;D

Its all good Dent. I thought they were kinda crazy looking but didnt want to ask cuz i thought maybe he got crazy with some paint while painting his rims. Didnt know the rubber was that color.

Ya right down to the cords ;D
Actually I liked the red ones on the flat track... They are heavier than alot of tires cuz they are 4 or 6 ply tires, So they are stiff too...Harder than hell to mount, they have a really heavy bead guard...I'll get some better pix and start the wackey green tire thread ;D
