Affordable arms?

[snacob14]

I'm looking to find a set of affordable a-arms for my R. I'm definitely a weekend warrior, but want something that is a little more stable. Who has the most affordable set for our bikes. Or have you seen a used set that would work for my app. I'm really trying to setup a mx/trails bike that will be reasonable to my wallet...I know thats an oxymoron...

There are a number of companies, it shouldn't be hard to find all the manufacturers. Depending on what you deem affordable, most have their prices listed on the websites.

If you find something you like, but don't think it's affordable, you can always go the used route.

Personally I think you could easily go with a sport a-arm which if you see the banner ads on here, Laeger is selling for $495.

Most used a-arms will likely cost $200+ but if you refurb them it could cost as much as new.
Powder $75, Bushings $100, balljoints $100

I say you will need new brake lines because it's unlikely your stock ones are very new and with +2 Arms they will pull and bind when you turrn hard. You can get away with not replacing with +1 but your taking your chances with +2.

well ive had my stock lines on for 3 yrs with +2 arms and have not had one problem..their is actually still plenty of play with the wheels turned all the way..

I have a new set of +3 That I got from a friend who gave up on a project. I will sell them for $400 plus shipping if interested. Comes with everything shown.

[snacob14]

I appreciate the reply, but that is going to be too wide for what I'm doing. I'm still debating if +2 is goign to be too wide
