Does anyone know if anyone makes stock width aftermarket A-arms? I ride tight trails and don't want to make my quad any wider. I have a 07 with 04-05 front end with 4+1 offset rims already. So going wider and sucking it back in with rims isn't a option.

Why even spend the money if your
not going wider ?

Because stock a-arms are not ajustable. And the bushings don't last long if u actually ride.

We mostly ride tight trails and i have houser + 1's on my 05' and i love it. Theyre the perfect width.

Maybe you have not thought about it or I could be wrong but is your rear end not wider than your front? My experience is that if your front end is a touch wider than your rear it turns better. I realize that your obviously riding in some tight stuff but if you cant make the turns what benefits are you gaining other than filling your rear wheels with tree bark? Hope my wording does not come across as a smart***.

Ok. Maybe my first post was a little vague. Let me elaborate further. I race xc. All the trails in mid illinois are tight. This will be for my practice bike. I purposely made trails that are ridiculously tight so that when I race those trails feel like u could drive a bus through them. And I mean tight. There are places where both my front wheels are rubbing trees at the same time. Going any wider just isn't a option. I also feel with the stock width u gain an advantage. It gives me alot more confidence and that's all that really matters. I could search all the aftermarket sites but I was hoping u guys could give me some insight. I know this may be strange to some of u but I've had pretty good success with my set up. Just getting tired of changing out the bushings in the stock A-arms. Figured a needle bearing setup has to last longer. Thanks again guys!

JD Performance definitely makes them. They even made me stock upper 400ex a-arms so I could make adjustments for running 2006 450r spindles, hubs, and calipers on my 400ex.
