I have a birthday commin up and im lookin into some new a arms and shocks. If im gonna get a arms i wanna go with some +3s from beaugard maby and for front shocks a pair of works triple rate with ressizes. What do u guys think, i want a good setup but i dont want to spend a ton of money or is there a better set up out there?

That sounds good. ASR makes some good arms also.

Last fall I bought a set of HSD Strong Arm +2 A-Arms with Elka triple rate shocks and the entire package cost just under $1000. The A-arms are powder coated have adjustable ball joints. These made so much difference that with a +4 axle it is a whole different bike. Check out HSD Racing. You will not be dissapointed.

I would'nt go with Burgard, imo they have very weak ball joints. Alba has a helluva deal on +2 +1 arms, Elka rec shocks, and braided brake lines for $879 i beleive.

I got Atv 4 Play LT Arms and they work and were not expensive. Their standard travel A-arms are priced inexpensive and are good in quality.

If you are going strictly for budget racing do the 450r shocks and the Works triple rate spring conversion. I spent a total $350 so I spent a little more on a-arms and got Metalcraft +2 standard travel $650. You will not believe how nice those shocks are.

I tested a Z-400 with Epic +2 Recreational A-arms and the preload on the stock shocks bumped up 2 clicks. I weigh 220 and It worked great plus you can always upgrade to custom shocks later.
You can get them through Alba.
