Aftermarket Products:

Dalton Industries – Clutch Kit

This new clutch kit makes it possible to have one kit that suits a lot of different situations. Instead of having many different clutch kits for different tire sizes, terrain conditions, or to help compensate for high elevation power losses, this new kit covers a broad range of tuning challenges.You can tune for better belt grip and improved performance by using different combinations in the kit. A new set of adjustable flyweight lever arms were built for this application.

Custom Splice – Synthetic Winch Rope

This synthetic winch rope is 1/7 the weight of steel cable, but it is actually stronger. And unlike steel cable, it has no memory (no kinks) and won’t burr.
