i was just wondering if you could tell a noticable difference with +1 a-arms on this bike? i do not want to go too wide as i am a recreational rider. i just dont want to spend the money if the difference will be minimal. my goal will be able to corner better and possibly a better ride.

i can tell my +1/2 works well, but the better handling probably came from the shocks not the extra width

they actually would make a decent difference, but the shocks are gonna be where you see the major difference, I don't know about other companies, but I know Rath Racing can make you some +1.5's

i was looking into JD a-arms. they do make +1's. i just don't want to get the +1's if they will be no different. i am only running a +2 rear axle and this is plenty wide for my style of riding.

I like my JD +1's I'm sure +2 would be better but for the kind of riding I do I wouldnt want any wider

i've heard people say that +2's with 4-1 offset rims work well.

You could get +2's then get 4/1 offset wheels. It would probably keep you pretty close to your rear width.

unfortunatly i just spent $800 on tires and wheels with stock offsets.....

how hard is it to set those up? i have no idea what i am doing. i have a feeling i will be able to change a piston quicker than i can get the arms on and adjusted.

Mine was already set up when I bought it.....although I did just tear the bike apart and rebuild it and it wasn't that hard
