Yamaha RMAX side-by-side on a Kentucky trail

Real parts. Real trails. Real family.

We bent a tie rod out on the trail, got tired of the imported fixes, and machined the one we actually wanted. Now we sell it.

TrailFab steel thread-on tie rod strengthening sleeves, sold as a pair

The flagship

Start where it started: the tie rod sleeves

The weak point every RMAX owner knows about, fixed properly. Thicker steel over the factory rod — and it threads straight onto the rods you already have.

Fits 2021–2026 Yamaha RMAX2 1000 and RMAX4 1000. About 30 minutes with wrenches, pliers and a hammer. Both sides, one box. Warranted against workmanship issues.

The parts

Thirty minutes

No cutting. No welding. No waiting on a box from overseas.

Wrenches, pliers, and a hammer. If you’ve done your own suspension work you’ll find this easy; if you haven’t, it’s a good first job.

Fits 2021–2026 Yamaha RMAX2 1000 and RMAX4 1000. That’s the list. If your machine isn’t on it, message us and we’ll tell you straight rather than sell you the wrong part.

Who we are

We’re a family that builds things

Greg spent a career in manufacturing — knowing how a part is supposed to be made, why the cheap version fails, and how to make the better one. Carter runs the business and is learning it in real time. Leslie keeps the whole thing organized. Karolina rides harder than most grown men. Waylon, the dog of many names, supervises.

Every part on this site is one we run on our own machines. That’s not a marketing line — it’s the reason the parts exist.

You live it outside. We build it in the shop.

We don’t just sell our own gear — we help other outdoor folks make theirs. Got an idea for a part the trail needs, or the lake, or the campsite? We’re a family that can actually build it. Tell us what you’re thinking.
