best a-arms?

[mineralgrey01gt]

Who makes the best a-arms on the market in long travel for these quads? Im looking at 3 companies so far, houser, gibson, and roll design. Ill be doing fox floats with the arms also if that makes a difference. I ride very wide open fast trails and occasionally jump good stuff but definitely want to do long travel suspension all the way around.

[NED441SUZ]

JB and Walsh would be my first choice. Yeah, I know the price is high, but they are nice products. Roll is nice too.

[mineralgrey01gt]

I had completely forgotten about Walsh. Price will not be a problem at all.

[nkillian9]

i vote jb there has got to be areason team zuki went from jb to walsh back to jb (its probally who ever had the best sponsorship) them are all good arms, but i do have a buddy that just got rid of his walsh to get housers yeah crazy huh

[mineralgrey01gt]

are houser arms bad? I am looking for kits on ebay so i can buy it all in one shot but I cant find the exact set up im looking for. Ill probably just buy the shocks then buy the arms after

[nkillian9]

houser is probally one of the best for the price all the others u named off is almost twice as much when bought new, u do know that u cant run the shocks till u get the arms unless u go standard travel, im running the gen 2 floats on the stock arms and couldnt be happier, i couldnt afford arms at the time since i got front and rear that alone came out to 2400

[Limited Z_400]

Houser has a great product and great service but the LTR A arms are stock width. On a mx LTR, Walsh & JB are plus A arms and are required to get your 50" width when using 4+1 rims.

[mineralgrey01gt]

Thanks for all the replies, the only arms I found so far that are actually extended are lsr arms at +2+1 which I don't need extended but they would be nice. I'll never put this bike on a track so the width can be as wide as I'd like

[trompen542]

the new KOQ pro-comp, with motowoz shocks, they are similar to jb or walsh, at 1/2 the price

[mildtowildracin]

WALSH ALL THE WAYYY, best products by far

[nkillian9]

[candidate zero]

PM me the pics when you get em, thanks.

BTW for this thread...I run walsh on my LTR

[mineralgrey01gt]

ill look into walsh mainly now. Thanks for the replies. My choices are going as Walsh, then ROLL.

What about gibson? Are those good arms?

[nkillian9]

just curious why not jb

[madskrillz2]

Walsh is as good as it gets.

[nkillian9]

they are a lil on the weak side is my only complian with them not weak as in bending weak as in denting

X2 Def. worth looking into. I have a set on order, they are top of the line for sure. However, they are not even on their site yet, so you can just call and inquire about them...

Our entire team switched over to the LSR DC-Pro stuff this year and it's working really well for us! All the companies mentioned above make great products.

[nkillian9]

hey i was reading thru some old magazines the other day and was reading on the media allstar team, hows the team doing this yr with the evonomy like it is, im guessing yall still riding zukis?

[lasher45]

Walsh all the way. I have a full Walsh 450 hybrid and wouldn't want it made by any other company. All the experience I've had with Walsh products was great. Definitly the #1 choice.

those new lonestars the media allstar bikes are running look pretty tough thats for sure..


I run Atv fourplay, havent had a problem, although, the ball joints arent as nice of set up as a walsh set up

[nkillian9]

yeah i just seen the dc pros in the last dirtwheels look pretty nice, i like the balljoint set up im not a fan of the spericals of the walsh arms, but of course sphericals dont limit travel i just dont like the way everything can get in them

[mamafite]

DC pros are second to none on fit and finish, have them on both are quads and have no issues what-so ever.

[y-man]

what are the best a-arms for a cheaper price

[Kingsracing]

They are all great. I personally use a Holz Racing/Fox front end.

[Unlukky]

ASR on ebay has a really nice a arm package with spherical ball joints and tie rod ends for around 400$ if you email them.

[y-man]

sweet thanks

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Leager or Gibson

Scott Taylor is the current owner of Laeger. I bought some bushings from them a couple months ago.
