Has anyone tried Wicked A-arms

[DirtDevilBT]

Hi, was just wondering if anyone has tried a set of these. Before I got my R I had a warrior which almost had these arms. I like the look of them and they offer gull wing style arms with stock shocks. They look good and offer a nice lifetime warrenty. What do you think?

I have a friend that runs +3's on his Z. He bought them used and they were mismatched with some +2's on the uppers!!. He was bummed called and told Wicked about and they sent him the correct set up!!! Now that is customer service. They look nice and are chromemolly soooooo...

[DirtDevilBT]

Nice, BUMP, more more more!!!!!

Huh, are they that scarse?

There is a local shop here in Oregon that had a show bike in the showroom that had Wicked A-arms. They looked like good quality, nice welds and strong. I asked the guys at the shop how they held up and they haven't had any complaints. I've personally never seen them in action, but they seemed impressed.

wasted my money on a set. The welds were poor (crater cracks,undercut) The ball joints bottomed out before the shock. The ball joint boots kept splitting open. I tried to work with the owner but he would admit the angle for the ball joints was wrong. Lonestar uses the same ball joints and they put theirs at a greater angle to allow for more travel.

There is better companys makeing a-arms. You get exactly what you pay for.

^^ He's had bad luck, but all I have to say is Wicked makes some really high quality arms. Maybe they had teething problems earlier, but the arms I recieved rock! The welds are perfect (think row of coins) and so are the junctions were one tubing meats another. The ball joints are sealed and forged.

Read me review http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2056471#post2056471 and about the Full Flight arms too.

It's cool, I was just messing with you. I'm glad to see another Raptor rider around here.

I've been looking at arms and debating what I wanted to buy if anything. I think I'm still kinda set on Burgards right now though.

Got a link to the exact arms? I read several times over their customer service blows and shipping is extremly slow although their products are quality. I also read they had ball joint problems earlier but have since fixed it. Are they Chrome molly? Camber and castor adjustable? powder coated? Price?

WOW, If it wasent for you replying and me seeing your sig, I would'nt have found the raptor forum.... THANKS! (I've googled in the past looking for a Raptor specific forum but found none).
