janssen +2 arms?

[dvrman]

I just put on some Janssen +2 mx tech arms on my 2000 400ex. They look great except I think they are +1's. Stock width on a 400ex is 45.3 and I'm only getting 47.25 to 47.5 tops. I talked to Joel and he said that they don't make +1's for a 400ex and said that I needed to adjust out the heim joints to get the extra width. Well I adjusted them out to the point where it now looks like it would be dangerous to ride and I'm still only getting maybe 48".

I talked to 2 of my friends, and both of their +2 a-arms have the ball joints adjusted almost all the way in to the arm and they are getting 49" easily. This doesn't make sense to me that these arms of mine could be actual +2's. You shouldn't have to adjust the joints out that far to keep up with the width of other real +2's.

Has anyone ever had this with the Janssen +2's? I'm not sure what to do from here.

Thanks

wrong, stock is around 42 inches. I just put +3's on mine and with the stock offset wheels im around 47.5 inches - 48 inches in the front. When the honda site says 45.5 inches wide, they are talking about the rear because if you look at it you can clearly see that the back is wider than the front at stock settings. hope i have helped.

_47.3
- 45.3
= 2 inches wider :confused:

Your answer is prolly found in your front wheel offset. Stock or aftermarket wheels ?? If they're aftermarket, do you what "offset" they are?
