My Burgard +2+1 standard travel arms were 390$ off ebay to my door. I am noticing now that I am too rough on them. I wish I saved a bit more and went with lonestar's racing arms like I put on my 416ex.

I have to replace the balljoints already on the burgards and I jump bigger on my ex. I been riding on the ex's front end for about 3.5 seasons now. The burgards have about 1 season on them.

Dont get me wrong the burgards were less than half the price I paid for the lonestars I have on my ex.


UPDATE I went to autozone today as PAPPY suggested I do. I picked up 1971 superbeatle outer tierod ends for 60$ 4 0f them. They are guarrenteed for life as long as I keep my reciept. Thanks Pappy that was worth every penny.

I got a set of used JB LT + 2 3/8" Arms off of ebay for $500. Had the PC'ed for next to nothing. I run a set of Axis Piggybacks with Titanium springs, those were $1995 for the pair. Yes I race.

my 04 450R came with +3's and elka's, i did not like the arms or the way the shocks acted, so i had the elkas revalved and bought Epic pro series +3 a-arms, the shocks were 600 to get all 3 resprung and change the valve sysem, and the arms were right around 1000

on my 06, i went with laegers + .5 and axis LT's, that cost me right around 2300

on my 250R i have +2 laeger arms and PEP dual rate shocks, all regular travel

i like all the set ups, my 04 is an MX bike, my 06 is XC and the 250R is recreational, each one is a great setup in differnt ways,

and i race as well

Elka quadrate comp adjustable: $850
