Default 05 CV Boot... again......

I've replaced a front and back axle on my 05 500ho, The back was from not noticing the boot was tore..but the front was from giving it the juice while stuck it hooked up and something had to give

Yes, the plastic ones can bend back into the CV boot. It happened to me on the MV on the first ride out. I have a local driveline shop that will rebuild a CV for $40.03. That is using his boot and grease too. I purchased protectors from OXLITE. They are tough. They are not on yet, but they will be before next ride on Friday!

I called C&S for the stick stoppers. They are $53.88 per set of 2. Does everyone buy front/rears or just the fronts? $108 for the both sets

I have the Stick Stoppers on my machine and think they are great..The only thing I don't like about them is how the U bolts kinda stick down and get all busted up.........

I got the OXLITE protectors on. They are pretty cool. Little tweak here, little bend there. I am ready to go. Mine have the same agonizing u-bolts, cut off the excess, but the nuts could easily "assist" snagging on a log. Oh well, still better than the plastics. Over the winter, I may try to redesign the fasteners. I may try to taper the holes and use tappered fasteners on the bottom. Need to figure out the rest of the setup. I am always thinking "how can I modify this or that"

You won't be disappointed........Just keep an eye on them if you ride in deep mud......Sometimes they hold the mud a little........But other than that they are awesome......Good luck with them....

I have been lucky so far(shouldn't have said that) with CV boots, but am looking at ordering these also. Anyone know difference between Oxlite's and Stick Stoppers? One have more coverage? $ on Oxlite's? Think you could use square U bolts upside down on the front's to avoid the "hang down?" Guess they could wear also and possibly break?
