How much extra height are those spindles... They look sweet!

What was the idea behind your initial A-arm/spindle swap Niner?

They are 1 1/2” higher than stock I believe.

What was the idea behind your initial A-arm/spindle swap Niner?

The initial idea was to get the lower arms out of the snow and less drag with the lower spindles when sidehilling. Dropping the rear skid was a after thought but turned out to be a great little improvement over stock.

So it didn't offer any front end lift like the new spindles or the elevate kit?

It was 3/4” higher than stock. They never advertised the height increase as it wasn’t really a fad yet I think.

from last weekend. Alpha rips.

18/50 gearing with BDX lite weight gear is working awesome. Also Benny installed the Team Tied in the Alpha today so will do some testing on this combo. Should really rip.

Low gearing is a farce. Bahahahaha. I thought you were already running a 19top 52bottom gear?

At about 2.75-2.85 final gear ratio I found the performance kind of flatlined. At 3.2+ it started gaining again. It changes everything so it will take some more messing around.

As much I dislike big bird Ben I’d like to share my results so you 2 love birds can keep up the gearing adventures. No one else is doing it so keep on trucking. Don’t give up. You got this.

There dead ends along the way but you can overcome them. U can do it!

Yes ran the 19/52 gearing with a longer chain, but the chain stretched and maxed out the auto tensioner. 18/50 is a bit lower gearing and works with the stock chain. Priced out getting a 54 bottom gear cut but was estimated at $600 for one gear and BDX would make some but needed a order for 100 gears. So going lower gearing will have to wait.

Talk is cheap.... until you can prove it, your super low gearing doesnt work.

Where did you get the 18 tooth gear?

Ben has them.

Do you think 19/52 would fit with a broken in 19/50 chain?

I don’t think it would work.

Tried the Team Tied secondary clutch on the Alpha this weekend. Really happy with this set up. Team Tied is so smooth with up shifts and back shifts. Accelerates faster and holds RPM forever.

 

[dragonweld28]

It was awesome to see how much better the team Tied is compared to the cats Team Boss. Well worth the conversion.

Did you try the pefi flash on a 2020 800 yet?

 

[dragonweld28]

No yet.

Benny’s doing some spring cleaning on the Alpha. Spindles will be here next week finally. Going green of course.
