Aluminum A-Arm Prices???

169.99 for the uppers and 239.99 for the lowers.
Are we talking cost for a pair or individual? I may be pulling mine off and selling them before I bend them if that's the case!

I heard there to be cheaper or same price as current a arms to replace
According to the dealer that was the individual arm price.
I guess I don't understand how that could be. The steel tube and the jigs they currently use are far cheaper than a mold for forging. Aluminum is more expensive than steel, in most cases it takes more alum (2-3 times more) than steel to make a part of equal strength. So with greater input costs and the R&D needed to make the alum arms, I don't see how they could sell them at the same retail price as before.

But stomping out an arm goes super fast once the mold is done compared to casting and milling several components ant then gluing them together with a couple of steel pipes. I'm not saying the new arms will be cheap, just that they might not be as expensive as one might think. It all depends on what time the Poo beancounters have set to pay off the molds.

I thought they were getting the cfi4 Warrenty money back from the price of the new clutch belts!! Lol
Not to derail but I got to believe that zbros and others like Alt Imp will have complete a-arm set ups for close to same pricing as current pro $500 plus/minus. According to Dan at Alt Imp he will be making a conversion bracket/bushing so that his current pro ones will work on the new axys.
Went to the Sneak Peak
Yup they are alum. The Glue got to expensive I guess
The After- markets will still be in business.
I thought they were going to Glue the engine too, light weight ya know.
Looks like they mounted it like the ole 900, from the side.
Don't get me wrong I ride Real Polaris Sleds.
I won't be buying anything that resenbles a Pro tho.
