Our latest modification on our Orange Madness 500 HO is Ricochet aluminum A Arm Guards that we had anodized in orange to match the unit. What a difference in protection vs what comes from the factory. As usual they bolted right up in about 1/2 an our. I find it easier to install by taking the wheel off. Here are some pictures of them installed and ready for the trail. Any question on these or any other products feel free to call the shop & ask for Thor!

They protect the rubber CV joint boots not the a-arms. One stick that gets in there just right can rip up the boot. Once the boot is ripped up the joint gets worn quickly by mud and sand.
