Detailed Description:
Herrmann Racing A-arms:
Brad Herrmann of Herrmann Racing makes very high quality ATV chassis components with high attention to detail. Located in a 16,000ft facility in Pennsburg, PA, Herrmann Racing is one branch of Green Lane Tool and Die Company established in 1957. It is family owned and has just about any type of metal working machines you can think of.
The arms are made of 4130 chromoly and tig welded together. They are gusseted in known weak area’s to ensure maximum strength. The long travel arms have king pins instead of ball joints along with heim joints on the upper arms where they bolt to the frame. This combination allows you to adjust camber and castor and gives maximum travel with no chance of a binding. Brad claims 12+ inches of travel with these arms depending on the shock set-up. A quick glance at these a-arms and its obvious Brad put a lot of time into designing them. The unique design simply looks like they can handle any abuse you can throw at them!
They come in the color of your choice or bare for you to have chromed.
Note: Below YFZ not shown w/ TCS shocks.
How do TCS Shocks work?
TCS SCS (Sag Control Series) shocks, which come in both double and triple spring versions, have a top spring that is very soft and just serves to stretch the shock out when the wheels come off the ground. When the weight is on the quad this spring compresses. The sag of this spring is controlled by an aluminum spacer tube around the shock body which stops the sliding collar and transfers the load to the one or two main springs when the suspension is compressed to the selected ride height: Sag Control System. Changing the “preload” settings on an SCS shock will change the ride height but will not affect the spring rate.
TCS SCS shocks differ from most aftermarket shocks in the valving. SCS shocks use ‘shim stacks’ rather then the traditional piston with different sized holes in it to pass fluid. Stacks of small metal shims are placed on both sides of the piston. When the compression or rebound force is light, these shims let oil through the piston for minimum dampening. However, when the compression or rebound force is hard, such as when landing a jump, the shims will bend and restrict the oil flow. The faster the oil tries to get through the shims the more the shims bend and restrict the oil flow. This makes the dampening proportional to the force on the shock. SCS front shocks provide additional adjustment by using reservoirs with compression dampening adjustment knobs similar to those found on rear shocks.
TCS Shocks are custom built to you and your ATV. We will need to know your weight, a-arm width, ATV model, and type of riding.
Front shocks are Triple rate configurations and rear shocks are dual rate.
Turn around time is generally about 2 weeks but rarely over 30 days!
Rear shock rebuild info:
Included is dual rate springs, hard anodized body, piston kit, internal travel extension mod, seal, fluid, and labor.
Things to keep in mind:
When ordering shocks add 10 pounds to your actual weight to account for riding gear.
