Where can I buy some Drag Struts instead of me making them.

 

check e bay... lol

 

I have been for like the last month

 

If u have any DW mags, or others, flip through the back pages around the classifieds and u might find something, not too sure though...

 

i have a set that i bought from a guy off atv connection that i would sell.... They are 12" eye to eye and are square tubing and are chrome! I went to Marvin Shaw shocks because the local sand was too rough for the struts in my area.... PM me if your interested! Will part with them cheap.

 

I have seen people using the adjustable three-point hitch struts off small tractors. They are a heim joint at each end with a piece of tubing between. These are available in many different lengths, have several inches of adjustment, and are cheap. They are available at most farm/ranch stores like Tractor Supply. I have also seen some very nice ones made for almost nothing. They were just two rod ends with a piece of tapped/threaded thicker-wall tubing in the middle. Less than $20 in a home-built setup like that.

 

If you really need a set I can make you some. I make them on our bikes when we go track racing. I typically just use 1 inch aluminum round stock and polish it up and taper the ends. They look cherry and they arent all that expensive. Im sure a local machine shop around where you live could do them as well.

 

Marvin Shaw sell billet solid struts now, the have ridges cut in them kind of like the shocks, heims on both ends,and not to bad on the wallet at $40 a peice. Ill get some pics in the next couple of days if anyone wants some.

 

spend 3 bucks at the hardware store and buy some round steel tubing and cut 3 pieces at 12.5 inches long and drill a hole a half inch from each end and your good to go.
