OK I flipped the linkage today and Man does this thing carve turns now. My only concern is it seems that the bolt that holds the linkage to the shock (the middle bolt) is too close to the swingarm it likes like it is rubbing. Anyone else have this happen or did I do something wrong here. Help me out please I dont want to ruin a $600 swingarm. thanks

If you flipped linkage and you did it right nothing should be rubbing!

It is very close and depending on manufacturing tolerances, some may rub while others don't.

Remember, it is only that close when the susupenion is completely unloaded, meaning that as soon as you put the quad upright, with the wheels on the ground, the bolt and nut gain quite a bit of clearance.

Thanks Bash, I kinda figured it was just that close, only the outermost thread is JUST rubbing, I just wanted to make sure I did it right. Thanks for the info on your website. This thing handles soooo much better w that and the new Turf Tamers.
