Which would you guys choose and for what reasons.

[rap169]

ok jd doesnt make a +1 arm for my 450. That leaves them out. My bad. I didnt know that before i posted it

iv'e only heard good things about eyeball

[kazpr]

I am told burgard are good also for inexpensive.

[450rboy]

well i have seen viper a arms and i have never herd anything about them if there are good or bad. but i say all a arms good(after marker ones)

[Martin Blair]

None on that list

For value i would go with burgard +1 arms
$ 450

In the middle ($900) i would go with houser front lt arms

And for all out I would go with a ARS/FX axis package for 2400

you can get them for 400 unpowder coated. then you can pc them any color or paint them.

Wicked!!
Check Ebay

I have eyeballs and they are the biggest peices of crap i ever bought for my quad in 17 yrs

problems1: 4 months old and the powdercoat is bubbling and flking away leaving rust to form around shock mounts( because noone filed down drilled out holes or prepped metal for PC)

2: They still use ball joints wich bend or break weekly

3: They sent me tie rods with the wronge threads and proceeded to tell me I'm a liar and they want the bad ones shipped to them to see if i am lying.

Took them 6 weeks to get a scetch to elka so they could make my shocks. The most unprofessional outfit I've ever delt with.


JRD arms are top of the food chain;)

you should look a bit closer then.

the last set we had dealings with had one shock mount over 1/2"off. they truly were eyeball'd:p

if its top of the line with all the bells and whistles go Houser or Burgards higher end arm. this is what we are using on the project 450R and my personal quad.

if its based on price you can get +1 Burgard standard a arms for $425 shipped and that includes standard color pc.

I just installed the Gibson +1 XC frt. end on a 450R. It looks and works awsome. Top notch products as usual from GIBSON. We used AXIS shocks and made some final adjustments last night during a night session at the track!!!!;)

maybe it was only bad things iv'e heard about eyeball...my bad

[jb500ex]

pappy did you ride your houser's yet. i had alot of problems at the powerline race this past weekend. im not sure what is happening but my front end locked up on all the off cambers and almost every turn. to be honest i was a little afraid to go fast after a couple of close calls, and the end result was by far the worst race of the season for me. it also didn't help that i flipped my quad over into water half way through the first lap. im just curious if any one else with houser's had this problem

i run burgards, but i do like the majority of housers products. i cant help ya on what problem you maybe having with the housers. are they new? was the ball joint binding? alot of the new style ball joints are way stiff until they get some time on them. ive seen it affect rebound but its possible it could be your issue?

[jb500ex]

yes they are new

[Pappy]

i would deffinatley be looking for binding. if it happened at the begining of the race but got progressivley better that could have been the issue. also check the rebound out and see if the shocks are coming back up properly. with the new ball joints, and fresh powdercoating (housers uses 3 layers) it could be a slight problem that will wear itself away:p

[jb500ex]

thanks

[quadjeff]

I would use +1 would be Holzracingproducts.com. His products are becoming very popular out west. He has a couple of riders on the GNCC running his plus ones and they are kick butt. I run his +2 l/t. He is also a axis dealer and has the shocks and a-arms are in stock. It is top of the line so you will spend a few more bucks but I have been hammering mine for 6 months and the pivot points and ball joints are like brand new:D

WICKED!!! lol :D

[rap169]

burgards may be a good choice. 400 bare sounds excellent for a price. i think i may go this way. Ill send my shocks to gt thunder for his setup and i may have a good suspension at one heck of a price

[JrdSHIFT450r]

Jrd im telling you:D
