East Coast ATV and K&K are the designers of the a-arms...so they both carry them...

I just installed the GIBSON +1 XC frt. end on a 450R.

Its awsome, I have ridden the XC GIBSON frt. ends on R's YFZ's and now the 450R!!!! Call ECATV 215-541-4985 and ask for Matt D. East Coast and K&K designed the Gibson line of products, the Arms are tested by GNC #2 John Natalie!!! He rides them hard with no problems!! Plus GIBSON products took him to the #2 spot in the GNC series!!!!!!!!! I work with ECATV testing and setting up the XC stuff. I have nearly 30 1.5 hour harescrambles on my YFZ with teh GIBSON A-arms, stem and swingarm!!!! No problems, never came apart, and there just now starting to show some play in the bearings.. If anyone has done the Rausch GNCC, thats what our D6 local racers are like, rocky!!!! These GIBSON arms are tough!!!! I'll try to remeber to get some pics of the new 450R with the Gibson XC frt. end and AXIS shocks tonight!!! I've been running this bike every other day for a week or so getting it ready for the 12 hour!!!!!!

I have them for my 250R and I wouldn't ride anything else for GNCC.

You know what they are doing with the rear end? I have the no-link for my 250r but I haven't seen anyone esle really design anything different then stock other than Houser.

AXIS shock with aftermarket linkage from AXIS,GT Thunder,Elka etc. The bike I'm riding in the 12hour has a JB swing arm with AXIS linkage and shock.

When i spoke with them their front end with shocks is 2495.00:eek2:

Even if they are the best, which is debatable I wouldnt pay that for a set of arms and shocks. There are several other comparible companies that are way better priced.

you can get that from jrd around 2100 or 2200.

but yea eastcoast is worth it, i used to roll with them. but i made the choice that i thought was right to jrd and i like them more

You get what you pay for I guess???

I have had great luck with Gibson Arms!!! I like them cause there unique in style, not just a carbon copy!!! Good luck making your desicion and most of all have fun with it!!!!!!!!!

Again, if u inquire at ECATV ask for MAtt, mention me and you'll most likely get a deal from them!!!!!!!
