Canam Defender Forward Arms and Steering Stops

Video discusses adjustable arms and steering stops.. Check out my channel for full build info..

How hard was it to unscrew the ball on the end of the steering shaft and what did you use to hold it. I’m trying with curved vise grips and they are cutting into the ball. Worried it will start a stress crack. Very close to just leaving the dang spacers off.

I did not like my Super Atv arms so I got rid of them and went HCR arms front and rear 100% better

[@srt42678]

Do you have aftermarket front axles

[@RockyRohde]

No

[@p.t4769]

One more question, would you be afraid to take it trail riding in the mtns without the gear reduction, I’m fixing to order same wheels and tires but goona be a while before can afford portals for it, we ride in Hatfield mtns

[@RockyRohde]

Low range is not low enough with 35’s for me…

[@p.t4769]

Think 33s would do a lot better? But I sure do like the looks of yours😂

[@RockyRohde]

@p.t4769 33’s will be lighter and not take away so much power. If you are mountain riding I recommend 33’s or if you run 35’s get the super atv 20% trans reduction or portals..

[@p.t4769]

Thanks again, I’m going to do portals just can’t afford to do it all at onece😂, I like the trans gear reduction but don’t trust no one to open the trans on my 23 lonestar with less than a 100 miles😢

[@georgeatwater2088]

Not sure if you mentioned it or I missed it, curious on how much top-end you lost after re clutching and running 35.

[@p.t4769]

Was trying to find your clutching video on that can-am, did you ever make one?

[@RockyRohde]

I used the Epi mudder clutch and it did help some.. Today I would do the 20% transmission reduction from super atv and leave clutch stock

[@p.t4769]

@@RockyRohde finding someone around here to do that is the problem, I would be scared to crack open that rear end myself, that’s a little over my head, but dont want the width of portals, do you have to change gear in front end also?

[@RockyRohde]

@p.t4769 No just in the rear.. Most shops will charge around 1000 labor to do this.. the gears are close to 300 from super Atv.. The gears change the ratio on primary gears so you don’t have to do anything to the front..

[@p.t4769]

@@RockyRohde thanks, that cheaper than portals and will look better since I’m not going with huge tires

[@jaycewagoner3972]

Love the channel! If you don’t mind me asking, what do you do for a living?

[@chrismorgan1576]

I have been trying to find the side mirrors like yours from Canam but out of stock of course. Nice ride man!
