i have a machine that i got that came with a yoda set up on it and fox air shocks. its a machine that needed a top end done on it and after i got it done, i ended up taking the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) for another buggy that i blew up at the dunes.
i believe that the kit was brand new when installed by the previous owner. he rode it around a couple times in his fields and then had to sell it. i took it to the dunes once before i stole the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) out of it.
If anyone is interested before i pull & offer it outside of this group, please email me at junkboy64@gmail.com, for the fastest response, or PM me and ill look when i remember.

From what I understand there was a bump steer issue with this kit.

The kit is very well made but without a modified steering setup the bump steer is quite significant. I have one on my 583 Pilot with extended tie rods and at speed threading the needle here on east coast trails the bump makes the underside of you tighten right up!!!
I have mine setup for substantial toe in at full droop and its better but you need to stay alert.

Or do what I should’ve done and build something like this. The extra a arm width with standard extended tie rods is the issue.

Just to be clear which I feel I have not been. I’d buy this kit again and once I correct the bump it will be unstoppable. My Raptor has the same issue once I put plus 2 arms on the front, fortunately the Raptor was far easier to correct with body English.
Regards

Good to know. My guess he wants a lot of money for this setup as he didn’t even list a price nor does he know if he wants to sell it..... :shock:

Go Oddy,
What did these kits cost while in production?

Edit: I could have sworn the original post stated he was considering selling it.

He also posted it up on one of the fb groups without a price.

Here are a couple links
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3825

I guess this was a link to his sight explaining the setup
But the link shows dead to me
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3810&p=28417&hilit=Yoda#p28417

This is a pretty good read after the first page

right now i have no idea of what the kit is worth. i want to sell it complete with the fox shocks it has. it has the shock risers to allow the fox shocks or bilstein shocks.
i have a ton of pilots and got a super nice long travel pilot, so ive lost interest in getting this one up to snuff.
with, 6 machines stacked up in my shed, im pretty set on buggies, so this is one that i don't have room for and it makes me sad to have to have it sit outside. no more room in the manger.
attached are pix. im trying to figure out what i want to ask for price. where i bought this buggy and had it shipped to me from across the country, i paid a decent price for the whole machine, so i don't want to loose money on it by the time im done with it.
