Al, firstly I bought my Holeshots and they had the beadlocks done before they shipped them to me by Champion. Secondly, I should have worded it differently. It's not that they CAN'T be used on the street, but personally, my two rears with double beadlocks cost just north of $2000. You said you have a bent rim now. I cringe to think of one of my rears getting bent from driving on the street. Just my opinion, though, lol. I know you drive yours more on the street than anything, so your situation is a little different than mine. I would just be SUPER careful, just because of the cost. Nothing else.
