They were 725.00 plus shipping but he said over the winter/beginning of December we would be raising the prices. I think if he is gonna raise prices he shouldn't charge half of what he does for Shipping.

well he told me 725 and if he changes it on me and won't sell them to me for 725 then i'll go to merrell

Man what is up with all this stuff getting higher prices. The product stays the same, they just think since they sell so many at $725 they can higher it $50 and still make just as much money. This is nuts. Dirt Bike racers must just laugh at us. I can't wait for Arens to show these guys how it should be.

I'm w/ Warrior on this,wait til Aren's shows dem boyz how it be done,cause once they start seeing ppl have more AREN's stuff on there quads,they'll think damn,why didn't i do that?

not everyone likes one manufacturer. if everyone did there would only be one. even though some prices are way outta line i don't think some people understand how much it takes to run a buisness (electric,equipment,taxes,water,ect.) and then they also have there lives( house,car,utillitys,family). i really cna see some of the prices of stuff fair as to how much they sell and what they need to surrvive. unless they are rolling in a benz and have a nice crib then they aren't really raping the consumers. everyones entitled to a nice house and car and a good family. some make there livings doing other things. some people are overpayed but thats how it's always gonna be.

Herrman prices went up because he is setting up dealers. You know his price is a little more than the dealers, this way he just sells to the dealers and lets them push his product.

Its all a big rip off!! I mean it does not cost any more to make LT a-arms!! I bet it does not cost these guys more than $200.00 to make these products if that.

I would think that if that lowered there prices therefore more average joes could afford them(like me), they would benefit more in the long run!! I know i would rather sel 3 times the amount for a couple hundred less than only 1/3 the amount for a little more$$$

Just think how many more people could afford a-arms if they were around $500.00

Just venting here:)

Then you need the LT shocks to go along with the a a-arms.....another joke.

I mean how many people have 1500.00 - 2k just for a front end on there atv?? Oh....then we need a swing arm and a rear shock!!!

What a joke

The one thing you all might be forgetting is...you get what you pay for. If you dont want to spend that much on your quad then dont. Its as simple as that. I bought the full front end and I have the full swingarm with long shock in the rear as well. If you dont want it, you probably will never need it. If you just race C class or a Beginner class once in awhile and the rest of the time you are screwing around on Joe Schmoes farm you will never need the LT front and rear. If you want to do some serious racing on a "A" level then buy it. Dont get something because someone else said their not worth the dough. Alot of people on this site dont race and dont have, nor have they ever had any High Performance chassis parts on their quad. You gotta go to the races and see whats good, word of mouth isnt all what it cracked up to be. But thats my take on the situation. Mo

crypted,
unless he just started selling his chassin products to dealers in the last week, u are wrong. He will not sell Frames, a-arms, or swingarms to dealers at all! He will sell his carriers, stems, and all the misc. products he makes. So thats not the reason at all. And he has been selling these products to dealers for a while now.

yeah i thin Mo is right. Unless u are going out there to race seriously, dont spend the money if u think its way too much. Simple as that. If u bought one of his products paid 725, 750, whatever, and it brakes, then u can complain. But dont complain about the prices if its a product u dontneed. Sure they are expensive, i paid that much for my houser LTs, but if it works, and i can gain 2 more positions at a race.....its worth it. I didnt have a problem spending the cash to go fast, cuase thats what i wanna do. And anyone else that wants to go fast will spend it too. U gotta pay to play!

I guess yall are correct.. There it is then...raise the prices as high as you want dealers!!! We will pay so we can play.

I agree, but we all know those A-Arms are not worth $775. I don't care what brand they are. Yes I want Long Travels arms and Shocks, but I don't have them for one reason, and one reason only, the PRICE. That's why I am excited about Arens doing what he is.....

12-05-2002, 01:54 PM

yeah man, if you dont know why you would ever pay that much, then you dont need to bother with it....its expensive..i will have a $3000+ front end as soon as i buy shocks, and thats just aarms and shocks...i think it was worth every penny and id do it again

Dave400ex

12-05-2002, 02:00 PM

Yes once again I agree. A LT front end is well worth every penny, but the prices do not need to be so high. If Arens is making the same stuff as all the other companies for under $600, then they should be able to do that too. Roll's arms are not worth $1,200. Sure they are awesome and a night and day difference from standard, but there is nothing special about them that the Arens don't have...

trx400ex

12-05-2002, 02:16 PM

diffrence from the arens would be looks....i love the look of them more than anthing else..otherwise i would probably have housers...also 1200 isnt going to touch a set of these anymore,,, i heard they raised the price to 3k for the kit, and thats without chrome.. pretty steep, but they still sell

Dave400ex

12-05-2002, 02:18 PM

$3,000 is with the Shocks though right? I thought they quit putting the Axis with them and just sell the arms now and then you have to get the shocks you want. A lot of Roll setups are using Elka's now.

Roll is very nice for rich people:) 3K for front with shocks and 2k more for the rear. Comon guys!! $5k for a suspension upgrade? Give me a break.. I know it makes a night and day difference, but is this just being a little to greedy?

where the heck do u pay 3k for a front end:huh :confused: Thats rediculous for a-arms and shocks. I think u got ripped off. sure its nice what arens is SAYING. if u ask me his reg. a-arms leave much to be deisred. They look cheap and week in my mind. If i was buying reg. a-arms ide go with herrmanns. They look very strong. Sure i think john knows what hes talkin about. But his a-arms dont look like anything great at all.

roll arms with axis/rezzies shocks will run you close to 3k

Extremeracer167

12-05-2002, 03:39 PM

no they wont. Axis shocks are about 1225 and the rolls are about 1200. Thats not close to 3K

efreak

12-05-2002, 03:44 PM

so only about $2450.00 than.. Not bad!!

trx400ex

12-05-2002, 05:36 PM

Actually Golden West is now charging 2900....plus 250 for chrome...that is where im getting over 3k from...

warriorman, im pretty sure they still sell the kits with shocks, but you dont have to get the shocks if you dont want them

I was set up as a Herrman dealer on MONDAY. I can sell EVERYTHING but the frames, and thats only because he does not have the man power to make that many.
I sell all Herrman products including arms, swingarms and all the other billit stuff that everyone sells.

Brad told me him self why he raised the prices. Don't believe me call him.

Roll this, Roll that, Roll, Roll, Roll......whats the big deal with Roll other than they are HIGHLY overpriced and use a weak male studded ball joint on the top arm, and last time I check you could only get them in a +1 forward which isnt the way to go?
