best bang for the buck and you can beat a lifetime warranty!! i got +2 in the silver vein color and they look and feel great!!

I suggest you do some searching. I would never buy a set of these, no matter the cost. Junk IMO.

You can PM your email address if you're interested, I will show you some proof.

I agree with 400exrider707. I was thinking of buying a set of these but after some research found out that the heim joints they us wear out quickly, so so much the frame end but the wheel end. Save some extra money and go with Burgard or Housers. You can even find good used ones. Thats what I did.

I agree the heim joints wear out fast. I would go with something stronger. Check out these www.smcfabrication.com/TRX400EX.html . I never used them, but they look really strong compared to the fullflights. The price is more,but the old saying ( you get what you pay for) goes good for a-arms.

what do you think a used pair of +2 houser a arms go for on a forum like this?

I waited for the right deal to come along and picked up a set of plus 2 standard travel Housers for I think 300 or 350 shipped from a member. You might watch eBay also.

ok thanks.

Now that was a score:eek2:

[bkelley]

Yeah, I really don't understand how only one other person was bidding on them. And they only had their max bid at $225. They are +2 +1 and I wanted +0s, but for the price I definitely can't complain. Still waiting for them to get here.

Found these from the link.

Go for it! They are +2 +1s just so you know. Not sure why it says +2 +0s in the description. I hope those aren't the ones I supposedly bought, either. Haha.

i bought the full flight a arms,thought they were good,until 3 months down the line,almost all the heim joints were buggered,saying that,i got burgard after that and 2 have failed in a years racing ( not bad i supose),just think before you buy.john

[siggy konowaluk]

ok thanks for all the input guys

[400exrider707]

Besides the issues with the heims on the full flights, the arms themselves are just plain junk. The left side and the right side aren't even made the same, almost like they're not made in a jig. The set I had seen, it looked like they didn't even notch any tubing, just filled in gaps with crummy welds, then did a decent powdercoat job over the top to cover it up.

You could put the left lower and right lower on the bench next to each other and they wont even line up. Not to mention when they're mounted to the frame some heims are actually binding just by bolting them up. Inferior quality to say the least.


I'm not a fan of the burgards either, but for the price you paid it's hard to go wrong.

Just keep a VERY watchful eye on the lower balljoints, where it connects to the spindle. They're 14mm vs. everyone else's 16mm, and they will break. There is also no way to perfectly align the lower balljoint to the arm/spindle, you can twist it... most other arms are notched to hold the balljoints so they stay perfectly perpendicular to the spindle.:macho
