Torque arms

[sledneck_03]

How many people running them?

Used them from new or added later?

Slp one looks good. Belt life and power to the ground better? Will this wear out motor mounts faster or help them last longer?

Im gonna be putting one on this year i have 1800 miles and my mounts are bad. Also im going through belts every 300 miles. People i ride with have them on and much better mount and belt life.

Torque arm question

When using SLP torque arm(or similar stop)are you leaving clutch alignment,to the Polaris spec?Understand some are tightening up this tolerance to account for the restricted movement.If so what are your numbers,and was it successfully
increasing belt life?

Took pipe and can off. Did not take off primary or y pipe.

Intalled bracket and two bolts into block with loc tight.

Then installed arm with loc tight but didnt tighten.

Put u-bracket on frame. Spun arm till i could barely install bolt threw u bracket then tightened bolt and nut till tight.

Tightened bolt threw rubber end.

Tightened jam nut mid arm.

Seems like when the u-bracket crushed it would loosen up but it didnt. Not sure if i was suppose to crush it but bolt had alot of threads so i thought best to not have the u-bracket pulling on threads in shear, better to pull on shank.

Did a damn search and couldnt find anything like those posts! thanks. looks like we installed the same. I used blue medium loc tight. it can take some huge heat and the bolts have loc washers anyways like you said.

One thing to note when installing these is not to overtighen them as they can very easily pull the motor forward out of position.
Take a look at the motor mounts before install and just insure you dont pull the motor forward.
Fire n ice also makes a nice push arm for the mag side and the install would be much easier.

Not sure thats possible unless you pull the motor forward to drop the bolt thru the u-bracket and arm.

Correct, sorry I was referring to the fire n ice arm, different design.
