Hey guys/gals, i'm getting Lonestar long travel A-arms....I've never owned anything made by Lonestar, I was just wondering if they are worth it? I know Houser and Walsh are good but I get a good discount on Lonestar products. Thanks for any advice or help.

How old were the houser arms, cause they went to ball joints like Ars-fx, big bottom and regular tops like LSR.

I run LSR Dc4s on my 450r. They are top notch fit and quality, all the top AZ pros run LSR. Let me know if you havent already ordered them. I can get them bare or silvervein for $734 or any custom color for $792, which is 100 bux cheaper then any where else. And I can get them in like 2 weeks. Any LSR parts you want I can get fast.

I seen the JRD arms and swinger set up on a YFZ with Elka LT's all around. I'm probably gonna go with the same thing except Axis instead of Elka's. Looked real nice to me. And if anything breaks you just gotta take it back and they'll replace it. FREE.

I would say what price range are you looking at?? 600-750 JRD are very good. Top of the line 850-1200 Roll, Walsh, Holz. OUt of control but worth the cash Leager Pro-Trax. You will get what you pay for and always keep this in mind... Also I would never own a LSR product. But if you are getting a good deal I still would not own there product... Spend the money once on the top of the line product or make mistakes like I did at first and get the lower end stuff and you will just keep upgrading, upgrading... Good luck

LSR replaces everything also for free. Im not trying to start a LSR and JRD debate here, cause both are good products. BUT LSR has steped it up huge lately with there product line and there rider support. Most LSR bashers have never run LSR products but instead rely on others 1 or 2 bad experiences. Hell, most people dont even know that JP Racing is LSR. If memory serves in the 90s all the top riders used JP Racing and well JP Racing.

I'm running an LSR axle. I was told by a friend that mx races that LSR's lifetime warranty is good for only a one time use. Once they replace it once that's it.

If you dont race mx I wouldnt be worried about bending or breaking that axle. If you have noticed there is no taper in the 450R axle like there is on most other LSR axles. Hence it being stronger, hence LSR stepping up there product line. Ive only seen one break and that was rider error. A local pro over shot an 85 footer and came straight down about 20 feet and it broke. LSR straightens bent axles up to 3 times, and on the 3rd time they give you a new one or if you snap one they give you a new one. Think about it this way, RPM dominator 1s you have to buy the warranty now.
