Lonestar makes them. ive had my lsr dc-4's for almost 5-6 weeks. I havent gotten my shocks yet because of greedy uncle sam and I broke my arm the week i got them.

when i get my 450 i'm going to go with a teixeira tech a-arm set up...

uses 20 1/2 inch shocks....

using elka shocks...

and probably a LSR swing arm with the elka linkage and shock...

I'm running PRP Racing +2 +1s right on my 450, just got them slapped on last saturday before heading to the dunes. Installation was a breeze and they work great! Quad handles like a dream now with the combination of my LSR axle. I have the same a-arms on my 250R and they havent gave me a problem yet. They are also only $520 for the set (a-arms, tie rods, and ball joints) which is pretty cheap for a-arms. GNC MX Pro racer #16 Johnny Hale runs the long travel PRPs on his YFZ and had them on his 450R, and HE ABUSES THEM. They've held up so far for him.

I'm currently waiting on PEP Limited Mass shocks but the stock shocks are working pretty well. We had to tweak with the compression and rebound but they work!

Red you did not get the LT arms?
My friend has a PRP swingarm on his 250r and it is built Solid! I think it looks alot heavier duty than the LSR my other friend has.

Hey I just called Johnny and was like, hey man I need a-arms and shocks.....hook me up! He ordered everything for me so as far as I know, I just got +2 +1s. But the long travel for the 450R that PRP has out are +2 1/2 +1 or thats what Johnny told me so I dont know. My 450 front end looks WAYYY wider than my 250R so i might have the LT front end. LoL, I should probably find out but i'm not all that concerned.

that is john pierson's.

he is the guy who is doing my walsh 250r/blaster conversion as we speak.


our 450r is going to look basically the same as that.

well it will have all the same parts, just not the same color.

No, PRP doesnt have a website but you can call JH Racing at (918) 371-0101 and talk to Johnny Hale about PRP. They are one of his main sponsors. He sells all the PRP stuff: a-arms, frames, swingarms, etc etc. Thats where I buy all my PRP stuff.
