Our springers are the brainchild of my husband, Whipper. We springered 5 of our machines, George bought one of our kits for his Apache Attex back in 2008, Lewis bought one of our kits for his Orange Crush Attex, Jerseybigfoot has our kit on his Max II, the Copperhead, & WFO has one of Whip's suspension for his MAX IV, Goliath. There is one more Max II Springer that was shipped to a dealer in Australia. I would say that OUR springers are homemade with a LOT of Whip's own R & D. :)

you know Wedge what really impressed me was how everything fit better than perfect, the bolt holes for the bearings were right on the money. the control arms just slid right in place, all the hardware slid right in place. PERFECT. I would highly recommend one.  banana banana

That must've been when you powder coated the arms gold. Oh ya. that was when the Quasimodo body was replaced.  ;D

I see a common theme with these videos. Springer guys like to do EVERYTHING fast.  rofl

They did a really nice job on that Max.  That has got to be the best AATV in Australia.

This was one of our demo machines when we were a dealer for R.I. It was a bare to the bones machine pretty much. Whip made all the changes that you see so we could move it.
Sometimes, green is OK.   ;D

Anyone know the approx cost of a springer kit? I’d really love to have one, I know whipper May have hung up his cap on them but if he ever decides to make more, I’ll def be looking for one!  banana

The one's i made we're around $6500.00
Not shown in this pic is the skid plate,front and middle inner brace,and the outer rear brace.
None of those can be made until everything else is installed.
