I don't know, it depends on his application. The +1 foward might be good for flattrack, it will give him a little more rearward weight bias to increase traction and hook-up coming out of the corners.

it also depends on his swingarm, if it is stock, a plus1 forward a-arm will make his front end dive in the air from a too heavy front end

if you get +3+1, you will need longer shocks, will cost you lots more money, go +2

:rolleyes:

You will NOT need longer shocks. You will need to have your shocks valved for the longer a arms.

I already have a +2 swingarm and am now working on getting +3 or +3 +1 a-arms. I am wanting to ride mostly mx and sometimes gravel roads. If I were to get the a-arms, what size of wheel and tire would be a good combo to race mx? I was thinking Kenda Klaws but i dont know what size? I want them really wide and the side wall to be to a minumum but not to where it would screw me up.

You should be good with the +3+1's and 18" klaws would be ideal for mx
