:grr: i dont know how this happened

[derekhonda]

Happened on one of my 400exes many years ago, those welds arent always perfect, and may start to pull away sometimes. Hope you werent hurt when it happened. You basically have two options, trust a welder to fix it, or buy a new set (stock a-arms arent that expensive). Id look around, you can probably find a used set for about 100 bucks.

this is how i think it happened...

i started to ride and noticed a clanging...figured it was my nerf since it is a loose...i look down and i notced the damn thing like that:grr:

[YFZ450Ridr]

why would u ride with a loose nerf man, tighten that thing up before it snaps like those did.

[JDiablo]

why use 2 things when you can just use a lil JB Weld ;)

[dpizz450]

dude how did you just notice that it was like that. i think i would have noticed a while before i went ridin that it was like that. it looks kind of obvious.

put a want ad in the wanted section of the site.


I'll geurentee(spel?) there is a lot of people that have stock a-arms laying around that they will sell for half the price of what it costs brand new. Stock a-arms should be pretty common because so many people replace them for wider a-arms or long travel.
