Billet Steering Rack (Non Live Valve) – Honda Talon 1000 X / 1000 R

Description

The Hess Motorsport Honda Talon 1000 X / 1000 R Steering Rack

We put a lot of thought into this rack, and wanted to make it very maintenance friendly and extremely durable. Our rack is machined in house out of 6061 Billet Aluminum. We have designed this rack to be completely rebuildable. To reduce steering effort we have the pinion gear running on not one but two ball bearings and are using a very strong composite material that is embedded with Moly for our rack bushings. What does Moly do? Well, the Moly particles act as a dry lubricant to enhance the load bearing and wear capabilities while offering improved strength and rigidity while maintaining better fit and clearances. It also has less tendency to seize as bearings. We also tightened the tolerances and added a much larger support area to the rack gear to aid in strength and to prevent it from being damaged which is why we do not use a sprung tensioner on our rack. We have increased the travel for the Talon R to allow for a tighter turning radius and made the whole thing greaseable.

Pair the rack with our rack support for the ultimate setup. Our rack support strengthens the week frame area from the topside of the mounting plate. The thin metal is prone to bending around the rack causing alignment issues. Simply bolt this on when installing the rack.
