There are just so many it`s Hard to say one, but in my Opinion I would say Walsh is #1, Roll is #2, and Laeger is #3. Unless you are getting Long Travel I would just get Laeger A-Arms.

Walsh does not have a Website. Go to www.Eastcoastatv.com They Sell Walsh and Roll. For Laeger Check out Nac`s or Baldwin.

Ya i would have to agree. But if your not looking for the best go with houser or herrmann long travel or houser herrmann or laeger standard travel.

The Quadshop also Sells Houser. You can look on Ebay for Herrmann. They always have Stuff on Ebay for Cheap.

Quad shop would be your best bet with houser. then the herrmann are the same price as on ebay as they would be just ordering them.

$463? Now that is a Great Deal. Is that with Chrome Tops?

Well that is still a Great Deal. After finding a Old ATV Sport that has a Complete Laeger Setup I think I want to do thew Colors like it had. The Frame and SubFrame were Red. The A-Arms and Swingarm were Hammertone Gray, and the Steering Stem was Chrome. It looks really Sweet in the Picture.

I don`t know how a Black SubFrame would go with a Red Frame, A-Arms, and Swingarm. I might try and see if I can Scan that Picture.

Dave400ex

How did you do that just buy a 250r grab bar and fit it. How did you cap the ends.

I took my PRM 400ex grab bar and just used that. On the subfame i took 3/4 steel round stock and slid it 12" into the sub frame from where i cut it of. I then welded it in a 4 spots along the way buy drilling a hole and welding it closed and to the bar inside. I cut it off right at the end the there welds so its shorter, the shorter the better because its stronger and the quad will sit on the bar better, but if to short it will roll over if you go back to far. But looking at the picturs you can tell where to drill the holes. I just then drilled holes in the sub frame to match the grab bar. Also u will need to make the gussets under the sub frame as u can see in my pictures becasue if u wheelie back on the bar with out them it will bend it, but with those gusssets i could drag the bar down the road if i wanted. Ill be doing this all this week again to the new sub frame and grab bar.

LOL Rico, i just like to get my projects done fast i guess. It only took me 4hrs to strip the quad down to the frame. After work play time really. I talked to service honda and my sub frame should be here Thrusday so i can get it gussested thrusday and powdercoated friday back to me on saturday. Im not sure when my axle will be here but i hope it shows up this week along with the Rad nut. It should only take a 5 or 6 hours to Put back together. So i should have it ready by this weekend it would have been done alot sooner if i knew how to weld i could have got the frame back today. I think if i had some air tools i could have cut some more time off the tear down.
