Where did you buy the metal Craft a-arms ??? Also is there a website for them? I'm thinking of doing the front end during the winter on my YFZ

[maggiesboy]

Those are sweet! where did you get them?

thats a hott YFZ:eek2:

[allmixedup047]

wow, they sound like a great set of arms. how much were they if you dont mind me asking?

[CTmxyfz]

seem like a walsh design without the quality,price, and heim joints.

[sharkinthepool]

Dude Frame color the same as the Tops of your ELKAS that would look pretty good! It should brighten the quad up and would not be so BLACK. But, dont get me wrong it still looks good!

thats just what i was thinkin!!! the elka red is an awsome color and would look great on your frame with the black plastic. just my opinion.

UNTIL YOU HAVE A SET OF THESE IN YOUR HANDS YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE QUALITY. THE WELD ARE AWSOME AND THEY HAVE GUSSETS IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES. WALSH SEEMS LIKE A LAEGER/JB DESIGN WITH AN OUTRAGOUS PRICE AND SOME HEIMS. ITS ALL HIGH QUALITY STUFF THOUGH. :)

I didn't realize there were so many engineers on this forum.

[CTmxyfz]

TBD, well now you know.


Hye man, how do the black platstics hold up to scratches. Im thinking or black plastic. Nice quad BTW, i like the color combo alot. needs a frame frame:D

[quadrcr87]

Plastic are lookin good show no stress just the regular scuffs from a full mx season. A graphics kit hides most of this. The frame will be done this winter just not positive on color. These a arms are top quality i am very happy with my choice. i have not heard of a single problem. i didnt really need heims for that rediculous price, like i would even know the difference. They even came with a lower steering stem flag unlike most others. i payed lower than retail from a friend/sponsor. My total with shocks brake lines and a arms was about $1800.

with quadrates:eek2: ,..thats a good deal. hey, i have some 4+1 douglas ultimate wheels 4/156 pattern. are those 3+2's? i might trade or just buy them from you if you want to sell them

[vasura450]

Do a white frame. That would look sick. :devil:

[JR3]

[Warnerade]

I dont think Ellis would use something inferior in quality.
And I dont want to put Walsh down, I think they make great products, but I dont see the top guys running Walsh... by this I mean Gust, Farr, Ellis, Natalie, etc.

Again, I am not flaming Walsh, they are awesome products.

I take it you havent heard of jasmin plante, dana creech, joe byrd, harold goodman, jeremy lawson, and mike walsh himself :o

[CTmxyfz]

Muff, they will know soon when they see team suzuki.:)

Muff of course I know who those guys are... high caliber racers, my remark wasnt intended to put down Walsh which I see you have misinterpreted. I will say again... Walsh makes excellent products. As for the "TOP" guys, the riders you mentioned are extremely talented riders that deserve to be pro's, but the one's i named are at the very top of the pro level. Relax man, I was just saying Metalcraft is not inferior to the other top a arms.

When i hit the finish line jump i was planning to do the no footer, But when i started to float back into the superman i just went for it. i was lucky enough to have nerf bars or else i might not have reached the pegshttp://www.exriders.com/vbb/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Warnerade]

ya, im the guy with the white yfz450, number 27...started going to all the races later on in the season, parked with brandon. I came up and asked for some oil when i thought i had a problem

[400MXer]

Goodman's my IDOL!!! Nice guy, and will give you tips if you ask for them.

Andrew, what you doin' to that pimp ride for next season?

Andrew, what you doin' to that pimp ride for next season? is your name adam? Why you selling the JRD bike? going for a YFZ?

by the way, brandon has his YFZ all re-pwdercoated white, looks pretty good so far

[400MXer]

Yup, that's me! I'm still gonna run a CRF but i'm gonna try a different brand of chassis out. Not sure what kind as of yet, either lonestar or PRP.

Is brandon still running lonestar stuff or is he running something else. sounds like it will be pretty sweet.

[Warnerade]

hes still running his LSR/PEP front end and the ansen swingarm, unless he has last minute changes in the next few days.

were not gonna be at the races every week like we were last summer, were gonna do some AMA as well, maybe you could meet us at a few tracks

[quadrcr87]

Hey whats up Adam. YOu better start soon if your planning a new project. Ill still be running at milan but im deffinately getting out to more AMA races and Red Bud nationals.When are we gonna ride some indoor. we should all meat up at pro source for a practice. I just got some new parts for the quad. I got some flex handlebars they are one of my new sponsors, JE 13:1 piston kit, and got the rear shock built into a dual rate zero preload by Derisi Racing. http://www.exriders.com/vbb/images/smilies/smile.gif

[400MXer]

I've already been there a few times. I rode the good ole 400ex. Larry and Tony and phil go there about every sunday. I shoot ya an PM next time we go.

P.S.- Do you know anyone that wants to buy a JRD chassis?

[Warnerade]

me and brandon plan on going to pro source starting in january for a few practices

[MY450R]

are your tires on backward?

[quadrcr87]

yeah that woud be sweet to meet up there. Sorry i dont know anyone lookin got the chassis.

My tires are not backwards. they are not directional. one way is for hard pack and one ios for soft. look at a kenda ad or the pro's bikes

[Warnerade]

if everything goes to plan for brandon, me and him will be up at pro source this weekend. you guys should come along
