Burgard is a lower grade company in my opinion, especially on A-Arms. I had a problem with their company around a month ago with a carrier directly from them but don't let that stop you from getting them. I haven't tried there a-arms but I am sure they are better than stock in terms of adjustment and what not.

If you have the money try them out! If not, look for a set of Housers. They are everywhere for sale.

Is it Burgard that some people complain of the top balljoints snapping off? I forget.

burgard ALWAYS has had ball joint problems. But then again, so does stock. I would prob buy a set with the HD ball joints. They are a lot meatier than the regular a arms.

If your wanting to go +1, then I would do Houser. You can get them in standard or long travel.

burgard have a lifetime warranty on their products. even though it does say under normal riding i have called them and they said as long as it wasnt bent in a U shape then it would be all right. So i guess if the ball joints would happen to go bad then i would just buy a set of HD ones and be done with it. Houser arms cant be that much better. And i dont think i would go as far to say that they were a lower grade company. I just think that they are not as well known. I have ran one of their steering stems on the last two bikes ive had. needless to say they were both crashed and i never had a bit of trouble out of them.

burgard a-arms work great. all you need to do is get the 16mm ball joints. i have ran them ever since i have started riding and have never had a problem with them and he always works with you and gives you good service. They are great buy for the value. if i was you i would buy them.

Thanks for the good news. I kinda thought that i would have to get the 16mm ball joints anyways. just to go ahead and have the meatier ones
