Good question. What are the chance those are Ricky Stator A-arms?

that could be, it has ricky stator stickers on it...but i thought they were just for...well my stator lol

but then again i thought they looked alot like a burgard a arm too, because of the balljoint angle that seems to be on burgard a arms...

looks alot like my old school lone star a arms...they should be adjustible racing style with the skid plates..send me a pic from the top and if you could the back side of the top ball joint..that style had a strange sleeved nut..

those look like the ones I had on my last duner. I bought them from MotoJoe in 1995, but later learned that the jigs were sold and arms were mfg'd by jansen, then fireball, then some other outfit in the midwest. I havent seen that light weight style sold much lately.

def not lonestar because there is no skidplate on the bottom.

Lonestar makes "race" arms, which include a skid plate, and they also make "recreational" arms, which don't. Although, I'd have to agree and say that they're not Lonestar. Lonestar uses a traditional "V" shaped bottom arm, but the top arm has a slight bend to it. I think that you were closer with the Ricky Stator or Burgard guess.

I know that when I tried to buy new bushings for them, they needed to know what color mine were since they had been mfg by so many different shops over the years.

Now that I think of it, it was Izzy that last had the jigs.

I dont know. I called MotoJoe and told them I had white ones. They said "thats impossible, we never made any with white bushings" I got pizzed off.

They said that during the period of time that I bought them, Izzy was making them and to call him directly.

I did and he had nothing but bad things to say about MotoJoe. I sensed some bad vibes there. He said that he never made any with White bushings either. I gave him the i.d. and length of the pivots...they didnt match to his specs. He said that other companies had also built arms from the jigs as well.

Never the less I was screwed at that point. So I made some myself from delron. I upgraded the design and added zerks in the arms as well.

I built new inner pivot tubes that were not only drilled, but circular gun grooved to get grease everywhere inside the pivots. They worked perfectly from then on until the day I sold the bike.
