Default Z400 Front end squirly?!?!?!

The other thought I had was why don't someone come out with a brace system to tie each opposing side of the A-arm pivots together?
Great idea...but somebody beat ya to it! Its called rack and pinion steering. heheheh Probably not the best option with a short suspension that has a lot (9"+) or articulaton! Congrats to bein a grandpa! I'm 45...and my kids r 3 and 5! But my son is alredy ripin it up on his LT50....hopefully he will be racing when he turns 6. I wish i had a place to ride like you do!!! Let me know if you mess with the toe on your quad...and what the results are. Good luck!

Long story but I actually have 5 grandchildren!

I was just looking at the front of my Z and noticed that it is basically a rectangle of tubes where the pivots are and that there are no direct cross braces at the pivots. Wouldn't it be of benefit to have a X shaped type brace that connected those areas to eliminate the chance of any flex along with stronger tie rods?

Offsetting the tires and having a smaller tire shouldn't effect the squirlyness that much, should it?
