Good quality cheap priced a-arms?

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Anyone know of any cheap price but good quality +3 arms? I'm looking to get suspension but i won't just get shocks without aftermarket arms.

I'm looking to get some of these shocks Link (http://www.danacreechracing.com/categories/products/product-114.html) Does anyone know if their longtravel or not? It doesn't say.

I ride mostly trails, some dunes and a bit of MX.

I would say those are ST, but they are PEPs so they should be okay.

this guys is a super nice dude, and his arms are lifetime warrantied. All the 450rhq.com guys run them and swear by them... I believe he copies Leager design

i purchase a set of armadillo a-arms and they have held up quite well, purchased them from rockymtn...

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Thanks, anyone else?

Burgard a-arms are pretty good priced. I just picked up a set on ebay of there premium a-arms, +3 long travel, nickle plated... for 350:) And I was shocked when I got them, cause they look brand new:D

Get rated X motorsports LT a-arms they are $725 shipped to your door until Dec. 22!!!

I second the smc fabrication. $575 for a set of lifetime warranty and for an extra $50 dollars you can get castor adjustability. I have run these at a few maxxis six hours and they hold up awesome.

[SwainRacing]

I use Herrmann Racing (http://www.herrmannracing.com) A Arms and they hold up great, and are priced good too!

atv four play - cheap and good quailty

[rooster300ex]

burgard all the way.

American star. A guy sells American star A-arms on ebay new cheap and they have life time garranty. I got my +3 pro stars for $422 shipped.

Anyone else have this experience? Cause I've had my eye on Burgard's ST Premium A-Arms... I really like the integrated ball joint in the A-arm. Maybe i'm limiting myself.. there are probably more that integrate like that...

I hear horror stories about Burgard and their custmor service( serch on yfzcentral).

Id say save up a little more and get Houser.

[hoopd450]

i'm sorry, i didn't have the premium burgards. they were just the regular one's with vw style ball joints.

Ill have to agree. two years of xc racing and no trouble. He even replaced a tie rod my buddy bent for free. Make sure you get the option to use the stock honda pivot bearings. I have Leagers, and the bushings wear out in a few races, where the stock honda bearings will last for a long time. I will never own any other type of pivot setup except the stock style bearing.

I was considering going with smc fab. arms and elka reg travel but coundnt find much feedback about their xc setup, so I didnt go with it. They looked like a mgc arms like atv 4 play but $100 cheaper and with a much better warrenty. I found a used set of ars/fx axis long travel instead. But would recommend smc arms

[elementryder]

Burgard has awesome stuff and their peium ball joints are great even the new 16mm ball joints they offer

[JessetheKid]

i dont recomend burgard, i bought a set of +3+1's for my 250r about 2 or 3 years ago and within in a year I had bent both the uppers, I was not satisfied with them at all, and the balljoints went bad, with proper matinance. I dont think it was a one problem deal cuz one side bent then about a month later the other side was bent. They did replace them which i was happy with but they shouldn't have bent in the first place.

I would recomend houser i had a set of their lt's on my R and they were great.

[stocktires]

Keep an eye on ebay bro

[fly400ex]

I have a set of Burgards and a set of Housers both on 400ex's and they take exactly the same ball joint (VW style). I have not had problems with either arms or ball joints.

Its much easier to bend a lower than an upper a-arm....sounds like your leaving parts out of the story.

We all know the $399 burgard arms are not the greatest, but at that price who cares? They're next step up arms have the better balljoints and are just like everyone elses arms. Those SMC seem to be a good buy

Definitely stay away from the american star arms like someone suggested.

Improper adjustment would be my guess.
There is such thing as greseing something too much also.

SMC Fab. aside, I ride a JANSSEN front end and got a good deal on a +3 LT setup with C&R adj tripple rate custom AXIS fronts.

Both uppers bent, at seprate times. They said that it was a commom problem they were having and it was probially from a bad batch of chromoly. Their customer service while slow was very good and they were replaced for free. Also I had them set up properly, I am very mechanically inclined and took great care of my stuff. Please dont make me look stupid for sharing my information. Just making awareness of my previous problems.

Thanks,Jesse

Try koq, good quality at a fair price.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I'm going to get those PEP's and maybe SMC Fab arms. I just got 750 for christmas and my dad says he will let me borrow some money from him.

[pudamac12]

you should consider motowoz shocks too.
