[MX MaNiAc 06]

As good as u can afford. Or feel like spending.

[damian600]

[mx1791]

how wide do you wanna go?
a arms- walsh, gibson, houser..
shocks- fox, axis, tcs..

[damian600]

[damian600]

I have Hipers which I was told would make me a little wider than stock.
front 10X5 4 + 1 offset
rear 9X9 4 + 5 offset

I shock long travel kits are very good supension,

Some aarm brand are
Walsh, Houser, Burgard, gibson, just to name a few.

The best bang for you buck shock is TCS. There very nice and perform very well, but theres Elka,PEP, Axis, fox etc

well if your hipers are 4-1 then your thinner then stock. if you like the mx track more then trails, go with +3s since your hipers are 4-1. the i-shock system is iight, but your better off with one of these. (pricing is based on GT thunder rebuilds)

Houser +2 a arms= $600
SMC fab. +2 or +3 a arms= $475
Tcs shocks= $875
GT Thunder stock shock rebuilds= $400

the best part of SMC is the price/quality, and you can get them in +2 or +3 since you have 4-1 hipers, the housers only come in +2. if you ride in tighter trails you might be better off with +2s though.

ive heard nothing but good about Houser a arms. Check on ebay there is a Houser/Elka LT front end brand new for 1699... Thats what im getting next month;)

I've always had awesome luck with Janssen arms. They offer combo deals also with Elka, PEP, Axis. Check out ebay or janssenmotorsports.com

[TWISTED DINLI]

i would get gibson if i were you because they are +3 and good a-arms.:)

JD Performance all the way. I have had 2 sets of Housers and a set of Walsh not to bash them I loved them both but I bought a set of JD's and they are unbeliveable Dave the owner used to worked for laeger for years and decided to go his own way. When you see the welds and the quality put into these arms you will be amazed also the price can't be beat I belive a set of long travels are like 800.00 or something like that plus the customer service is the best i've ever seen. Not to pursade you but you should at least give them a look.

Thanks

[StuntCockRacing]

Does anyone know if Gibson has a website? I can't seem to find it...

Thanks

[mx1791]

KandKatv.com, and eastcoastatv.com sell gibson. i think east coast makes them

[jb500ex]

ratedxmotorsports.com my team (cardio stack racing) switched to them this season and have been very impressed. along with the ohlins shocks it's the best handling bike any of us have had, and we have had zero problems with the arms.

[quad janern]

im looking for some better a-ams too,
is there anyting negative about the +2 houser a-arms which fits stock lengt 450r shocks ? when i buy new better shocks i need them in stock lengt, and is there any negative about that ?

i see laeger has these +2 "regular" a-arms too. what would you buy ? houser or leager ?

[Lonestar_R]

go shoot your self.... hahahahahaha i'm just messin with ya man... but i HATE janssen and i will never give them another dime of my dollar! bad experiance with products and bad experiance with Mr. Janssen him self...


i'd go with Houser 4-sure!!!!!

and i personally like elka shocks but if i had the money i'd go with Fox shox... those are THE BEST shocks... light and easy adjust in seconds
