Lone Star A arms

[MarvOhio]

couldn't really find anything on them and there quality. i ride alot of mx tracks and like to jump and some trails, and was looking at a set of LSR +2+0 A arms. Are they decent A arms seeing as though they are $500. i understand they arent top of the line but are they good quality and going to last. also i wasnt going to change my rear axel right away, can i ride with a stock axel and +2 A arms

These were the ones i was looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lone-Star-Sport-Front-A-arms-2-0-Honda-400EX-400-EX_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem58866f85bfQQitemZ380 212577727QQptZMotorsQ5fATVQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Thanks Guys

Your link does not work. I don't know where you heard that LSR wern't top quality, but in my opinion they are some of the best. I have some of the first generation ones and they are fully adjustable and have never had any problems with them. The only thing I have had to do is replace the boots (normal Wear and tear) and replace 2 of the ball joint because I hit a tree. $500 is not bad for a new set if its new. Mine were $1000 new. But you pay extra for chrome. You can ride with stock axle, no problem.

Check out JD Performance a-arms. In my oppinion they are great quality a-arms at a reasonable price.

Don't know how to post a link that works. I figured they were pretty good just not as good as say roll design a arms .. they aren't Chrome they are p/c I might get them now .450r shocks will work good with +2 right

I couldn't tell (looking on internet on my phone) if the JD performance ones use heim or ball joints . I'm trying to stay away from heim joints

it all depends are they long travel or standard travel. and like someone said LSR it one of the top quality a arm manufacturers on the market and your buying from ebay are they use cuz there a arm start at like 800 and up. a set of houser slicast
+2 run 675 new in the box. i my self have a pair of LSR +2+1 450r a arms had to do some mods but i love the a arms and they look sweet so it your choose.

[01 400EXer]

Yes, +2 is what you want with the 450R shocks.

All JD a-arms use ball jounts. I have the old style that used 14mm ball joints, but the new ones use 16mm ball joints. If you were to get the ones with just camber adjustment the adjustment is really easy and simple. They also have a set that is both caster and camber adjustable and they claim it is a faster caster adjustment.

There customer service is great and if you become a 45R.org member you get a member discount.

The LSR arms that I was looking at say new . And they are standard travel. Is +3 to wide to run with 450r shocks

[01 400EXer]

I would say possibly, depends on your weight.

[MarvOhio]

I'm like 150-160lbs

[01 400EXer]

You may be ok, but I honestly don't know. I am about 160 and I think they would have been fine when I had the 450R on my 400EX. I think my 450R shocks were from an 04 or 05. I think the newer shocks are a little stiffer. I am now running TCS and I know I could go to +3 ST a-arms.
