How many of you have torn a CV boot because of the lack of guards on the rear killing your ATV trip? 3 in my group have and we now all run Ricochet A Arms. These things are awesome and bolt right up. Took all of 30 minuets to install!

YUP tore a rear boot got richochet fullset! cheap insurance great protection even foot guards. Have a friend that a small tree came up ripped through plastic footwell just missed tearing into his leg

 

yes they do help alot, but remember they are not full proof on any cv boot protector. i had another set on one of my bikes and stilll got a ripped boot. it all depends on what your riding through.

 

Haven't torn a boot but have been running ricochets since I had 100 miles on the machine. The Ricochets are a great product, I ordered ours in the black anodized.

 

haven't torn one yet on this bike......but it will happen in time i'm sure......i have been contemplating getting a set of those.....yep they do look good on there also...

 

Best 120 bucks I have spent! I also like how they cover the rear brake lines on the XP.

 

yeah, 10/4 on the rear brake lines were not a well thought out plan,could of placed them better ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

We bought two polaris sportsmans a couple of years ago and the only bike that we have had to change the boots on, is the one that has gaurds. Can't figure it out but maybe things are getting caught between the gaurd and the boot causing it to rip.

 

Two buddies, each with 2002 Polaris Sportsman 500s. One tore a rear boot going over slash left from loggers. The other we're not sure. But, he does have a lift kit that puts the cv boots at a severe angle.

 

The thing the aftermarket boot guards do that the stock ones do not is protect from underneath not just from the front. Thats why they work better.
