i have them in standard travel and love them. They have a great warrenty and they really stand behind there product.
they use hiems and they last long. if you dont have alot of money and think you could bend and arm then you should probably get these. $20 bucks for a new one. The kit on ebay come with every thing you need. except shocks. hope this helps Rob.

Not many people know much about those aarms because they're not a top name brand. For me I'd rather spend acouple hundred more and not be nervous my arms are going to break when I'm ten feet off the ground.

i jump 20 feet high and basically beat the crap out of them and love them. They hold up great and are beefy as every other a-arm. you wont go wrong with them. Lt me no if you have any quesstions. Rob

if you get the kit off ebay they come with brake lines. And yes the stockers do fit.

i have a pair of +2 ASR arms on my 250r and they work fine

they only complaint i might have about them is that on the "extreme" models i have the shock mount hangs below the arms so you need some kind of protection if you are riding somewhere with rocks, roots, etc.

also american star works with tcs shocks so if you are getting them also it will be a whole lot easier

theres spray paint you can buy at any store. fixes it right up and they look like new.

that is prolly what asr uses. it will also come off fast. i think ill stick with powdercoating.

i rather have them powdercoated and they are but after time they get beat up. just a quick fix so you dont have to spend all of that money. Rob
