Sorry I don't know how to post pics. If someone wants to post up the pic that would be great.

Thanks.

link to item? looks like a 2 link type. but those 2 smaller bars look welded to the lower bars and boldted by tabs on the axle,and look like that would only let it side2side

weird

edit---i think those smaller bars may work like a panhard/trac bar.

Yeah, it's just a 2-link...instead of running a panhard bar, they triangulated the link bars to the axle itself, effectively (sort of) turning it into a solid hinge.

Unfortunately, it just screams "I'm gonna break soon!"

It's clean work, but a poor design.

Sorry

what specifically will break first with this two link max?
BioMax   +1y
Most likely one of the small triangulated bars, just behind the bag mount.

if it dont break first im thinking it will more and likly bend an axle or the bolts on the triangulated bars will break even they are grade 8 lots of stress on those two points....thats my opinion

It definately won't bend an axle before it breaks one of those bars, even if that square tubing is solid, the weld joint isn't strong enough. If it was a much smaller tube, you would be right on track tho.
