## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings new excitement to an older atv!
*by A***. on April 24, 2021*

Worked great on my 04 rubicon really gave it a whole new life and experience while riding! It’s kind of a pain to install and for me the ring that goes on one end didn’t work because the groove wasn’t deep enough in this switch out so I just didn’t use it and so far it seems like everything is all good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for an older machine
