Question about a-arms

[chevymanrick]

Okay so my brother was riding my 400 through some trails and drifted around a turn and hit a small tree slightly bending my right front a ARM, no big deal time for some new ones, well why not upgrade right? I know some of you guys ride full flight a arms, how do u like them? I'm looking to get a set of +2 arms either gt thunder or full flight, I was wondering if anyone had any imput on those 2 I just recently added 450 front shock so it lifted the front end I'm not a racer by any means but I do like to jump big stuff when I can, any help is appreciated thanks guys!

Full flights... ehhh... I would get gt thunder arms before i would get full flights.

Full flights are OK. Really not that bad once you get used to them. You just have to use WD40 before every ride because with they way they make the joints they squeek VERY loud but other than that they are decent.

But Full Flight < gt thunder is my opinion

[chevymanrick]

Okay, the squeeking does get pretty irritatting, my stock arms squeek like crazy to I hate it

[dxcody]

I think the GTT ones are cheaper too.

GTT I have them and I'm about to put them on but they're great quality man. And the balljoints look like the best. I had full flights before and they were the biggest waste of money I've ever spent.. The heims are junk and they're so loud.. Sounds like your bike is gonna rattle apart lol. Steve

until you need to order anything from burgard such as replacements or anything. had a burguard carrier deicided id order everything i needed from them to save haveing 20 packages come. needless to say after a month and a half of receiving nothing and ****ty customer service the BBB and credit card company received calls.

I got a set of fullflight arms for a friends 400ex and when I put them on something was wrong the uppers were longer then the lowers. When I got in contact with them and told them the lowers must have been for a 300ex they told me I didn't know what I was doing and they wouldn't take hem back because they were mounted. So my buddy ran them all the way out on the lower balljoints(very unsafe) and still had the camber way too far out on top. So fullflight can kiss my *****.

DO NOT BUY burgurd, they might be a site sponsor but man thier customer service sucks.

Id buy GT thunder or houser.

[quadmanw]

Fullflight service also sucks. Never even called me back or answered my emails after multiple times.. The arms just suck in general IMO. Go GTT or Houser like CJM said. For trails I think ball joints are the way to go

[chevymanrick]

Okay thanks everyone I will go with the gtt houser is a bit pricey, for what I want them for and I appreciate everyone's input on the subject

[250x_kyle]

cant go wrong with gtt but im a houser guy if you find a set of used ones cheap some times you can end up replacing the joints and re coating and be under the cost of others.

[chevymanrick]

Okay, that's not a bad idea I'm not buying them for a month or 2 so ill keep an eye out, cause I know the housers are really good so if I find a set for a deal id rather go with those

[quadmanw]

I would say gtt is just as good as houser lol. The only difference is the needle bearings

[russellsroost31]

if i had to pick between gtt and houser id go with houser. they may cost more but as ive learned alwasy save for the best

[quadmanw]

Id go with GTT over burgards :blah:

[russellsroost31]

i think i got lucky with my burgards i mean i havent had any problems with them and i only paid $320
the only regret i have is buying +2 i should have gotten +3

[quadmanw]

That's too wide for me. I race xc.. I can't wait to get my GTTs on haha
