I LIKE WALSH'S COMPONENTS (INNOVATIVE), BUT I'VE HAD DEALINGS WITH HOUSER'S STUFF AND I LIKE THE CONSTUCTION OF THEM. JOHN HOUSER PERSONALLY TOOK TIME TO TAKE CARE OF ME, AND GOOD SERVICE RANKS ALMOST AS HIGH AS QUALITY OF PRODUCT FOR ME. I'VE EVEN SEEN JOHN RESPOND TO EX RIDERS FORUMS! GOOD GUY TO HAVE AROUND. THANKS!

I am actually leaning towards Herrmann...
I have heard they are as good as walsh or Roll but cheaper. They look awesome, good rpice, and i have only heard good things so i'm thinking i can't go wrong for $775.
Anyone have any opinions on these?

We run Herrmanns front end and swing arm, with PEP Lt shocks. I highly recommend them. They are a great company to work with, great customer service. The products are top of the line. I've had Roll Design along with Gibson. I like the Herrmanns just as well if not more. You can't beat the price. And they look just like the Roll Design. I like the King Pin set up also. I wasn't impressed with the Gibson ball joints. I think they'll last you as long as the others mentioned.
I'ld go Herrmann!!

JRD are as good as Roll because they are identical. The best front end I have ridden on (actually there are 3 that are really close) Walsh, Roll, and PRP long travel. The walsh handled excellent overal as well as the Roll and the PRP turns on a rail.

I've been to walshs place and his parts are just downright insane, if i didnt buy the roll a-arms on here I would have bought new a-arms from him

the roll design handle very well but they use a weaker clip that holds the lower ball joints in, they can work their way out and it happened to me. luckily you can just get the normal style c-clip and pop one of those in there
