Brute force A-arm replacement.
Does anyone know where I can get a set of replacement A-arms for the brute?Preferably heavy duty.I ripped my left upper arm off the mount and bent the lower one like mad.Im going to have to cut the old mount off and weld a new one.I cant believe it ripped the mount and bent the lower arm as bad as it did.

LOL.I wasnt jumping it.......at the time.The wheel caught a tree at about 10mph and the upper a-arm bolt ripped the mount and the lower a-arm rear bar bent right in the middle.Its now a V at about 120 degrees.The wheel pulled all the way back to the fender.I got a tie strap and pulled the wheel back off the fender.Then rode it about 8mph back to the truck 13mi away.Im not complaining it got me home.Careful of malicious moving trees jumping in your way.After I get the Brute fixed I plan on a date with that tree and my chain saw....HEHE.....Just kidding.Does anyone make heavy duty A-arms?

You will be happier in the long run if you stick w/ the stock arms. If you get hd arms and hit another tree you will break your frame.
And I will tell you now to not jump the 750. I replaced a frame on one about 6 months ago. Customer landed on the front left tire first. Ripped the top shock mount all the way off. That quad is not made for jumping. It doesn't have the shocks or wheel travel to resist bottoming especially if you don't come down on all fours.

I took the brute apart today to start to fix it.It seems I havedone more damage than I first thought.The little nuckle at the bottom of the shock is also broken free of its weld on the shock.The Upper shock mount is also tweeked just a little bit also.I guess Im going to get those shocks a little sooner than I thought.Unless I can find a set on E-bay.I wonder how (or if) a set from a KFX700 would work.
