After bending both stock tie rods it's time to consider the Ricky Stator tie rods with the honda tie rod ends machined to fit the Raptor. If you are using these please let me know how ya like them and if you have had any "issues" with them.

Thanks, Eric

 

I have them with my +2 Timmyboy arms, go for it you'll luv em!!!! No probs. & I've had them for almost a year.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Have them on both Raptors and wouldn't change!!!!!!!!

 

I got mine too after TB tie rod bend after a little boo boo. Then I went to Ricky Stator tie rod and never look back. It well worth every penny of it......

 

For a competitive option.

I beleive American Star (AS) also makes this same set-up at a lower cost then RS. In fact, it wouldn't suprise me if AS is actually doing the mfging of these components and letting RS sell them with their name. "AS" let's Alba do that and a few others.

 

They just put up a good comparison chart on all ball joints:
Ball Joints

 

we do not sell any parts under any name but the name of the people manufacturing them-the ball joints and tie rod ends are our design---american star---the people that brought you rebel star and ripped you all-hey-guess bad mouthing does not work-what i am i trying to say is all this bad mouthing is probably with it good merits-dont start a rumor just to start one--thanks-ricky[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

we are the only ones that have the tapered tie rod ends since they are our design

we do sell them to lots of others

wouldnt surprise me if rebel.......er.......ripoff.......er....

too much smoking on da reefer will make you imagine things

keep on telling what you know is fine but beware of unsubstantiated ideas of who allows who to sell parts as 'theirs'

unlike so many people that sell everybody's stuff we sell our own design and product-geeez, even have it in stock

Rickey - say Hi to Ken Major for me (are you still across from him ??) He builds my 1600 motor. I'll be ordering a set of tie rods and ends soon !

 

Alright Ricky -- calm down! Anyone who knows you understands that the mere thought of you doing business with Kip Kilburn is utterly laughable. I'm sure swytak's post was an innocent one. Bare in mind, some of this forums participants are new to this ATV thing.

I'm glad the subject came up as it is time for a reminder of the type of person Kip Kilburn is. For all you newbies, below are links to posts by a few of the many "involuntary investors" in (un)American Star/ Last Rebel.
