it isn't called the million mile frame for nothing.

Walsh racecraft all the way!

Arens does have a great reputation for such a small company. It would be hard to choose between any of those chassis but as far as front ends the Walsh is genius. It is the only front end (that I know of) that truly has a progressive leverage ratio. Your back suspension uses linkage to change the amount of leverage through the travel, the lower shock mount on the Walsh a-arm does the same. It has a lot of leverage at the bottom for a smooth ride over rough stuff then softens at the top to resist bottoming. :p http://www.eastcoastatv.com/GilAttixCRF450/crx45002.jpg

If I could Buy any Frame it would be Walsh. That Stuff is a Work or Art. Laeger would be my Second Choice.

[mental1]

First would be Walsh see alot pros with something Walsh on their bikes, that and the Aarms Walsh makes look sweet. Second might be the LRD Attitude frame once it's proven itself alittle more.

[Foxrage]

I think the aluminum frame is a better work of art than the walsh or roll. If i was going to get a front end for it i would go with the laeger t pin.

[eca400]

i build a lot of race bikes including the crf 450 in smokers picture of the walsh front end,walsh go together without a problem,am starting on a gibson 426 tomorrow .waiting to get back from powdercoaters ,will let you know how it goes together.www.eastcoastatv.com/buildaquad.htm

Thats a pretty phat website ECA400. Where are you guys located? Gil Attix lives right here in..........Delaware....lol I think it would be awesome to ride with him. He probably doenst want to ride with some amatuer like myself....lol Later!

[400exBro]

Get wlash or Roll design frames they are the best you can get but you are looking for a lot of $$$$
Bro

[eca400]

we are about ten minutes outside of allentown pa. ,gill practices almost every weekend when there isn't a national at seifert.you can ride with him there.

[Dave400ex]

ECA400, How would you Compare Walsh, Roll Design, and Laeger? Which Order and Why?

[eca400]

they are the top three frame builders.we mainly deal with walsh,roll and not at all with laeger.we are not a laeger dealer.i built joe byrds bikes last year and he likes running laeger.the chassis are a matter of preference and availability.most of our riders run walsh bikes and a couple have rolls.if you look at what the pros are riding they are out there racing to win ,not ride what was given to them for free or at a discount.they ride what they feel comfortable on ,and what handles the best for them.if any bike was so much better than another they would all be on the same thing. same goes for shocks .some run axis ,some pep.it just depends on the rider 's preference.

Hey ECA400 I emailed you guys on your sight awhile ago , Im sending you a Pm asking the same question as before , I see you are new to the site If you want to know to to check your Pm's just go to the top of the page and click on user cp , It will be there If you recieve any new Pm's .
Thanks Kris .

[Dave400ex]

Yeah I think a lot of the Pro`s have a Chassis and Suspension Setup they like Best. Tim Farr has always run Laeger and PEP as far as I know. Doug Gust switched over to Walsh and he said it was better then the Laeger Setup. He still uses PEP Shocks though. I think over time more Top Guys will be using Walsh.

[Marty@TheQuadshop]

You forgot www.houser-racing.com
This is what I'm going to build

[Marty@TheQuadshop]

:D

[whiteknuckle]

MY GOODNESS who's ride is in that picture up there???????? that must have cost the entire gross national product of bolivia! i mean that looks crazy cool but who in the world would want to ride that thing? i gaurantee you if i were rich enough to do that that quad would never leave my living room floor!

[eca400]

how about this whiteknuckle?

[eca400]

or this?

[mental1]

Both of those make me wish I would win the lotto. Someday I'm going to build a custom ride of some sort(I hope).Any way both are very impressive I read both articles on the Houser machine, I want one!!!!!!!!

[whiteknuckle]

very nice but not my style! i could never ride that bike!

[Dave400ex]

I like the Walsh 450 better, but I think Tim Farr`s 450 is better then both of those when it comes to Looks.

[whiteknuckle]

my wife just looked at those ans said "why"? im with her thats stupid to put that kinda money into a quad unless youre putting it into the atv museum of natural debt or something very nice paint and crome but who would ride that thing?

[Dave400ex]

Man I would love to go Ride that Thing. I`ll take it to the Race Track. That`s what those Quads are Built for.
