[Sparks425Ex]

That is just about the most trick front end I have seen yet. Axis Triple Rates with invisible shock bodies, rezzies and Springs and Invisible Houser LT a arms... Dang You musta spent a fortune.

[YLW400]

[MIKE400EX]

Where do the sneakers go?:D

[YLW400]

Those generally go on the footpegs Mike :D

[400exRacerX]

Wait didn't you have houser +2 standard a arms and were unhappy with them? How the heck did you get PEP 19" shocks and gibson a arms so fast?

Very nice BTW.

Looks real good, theres something about gibson that makes me want toget them, but when quad041 got his bent gibson subframe, that made me think twice.

Looks real nice:eek2:

[YLW400]

Well, I have connections, Mark Baldwin and I are good friends...lol



j/k very nice guy though....lol I had the PEPS on order, I juts updated them to L/T before he started building them. As for the Housers, I sold them to "Sharpshooter". K&K actually had like 4 sets of Gibsons in stock. I am as bad with front ends as Pappy is with new quads :D Thanks for the compliment! It is too pretty to ride on lol

[AC 400 ex 02]

oo i like the gibson a arms..very nice

[YLW400]

Those things are a work of art. They are too nice to get dirty..lol

[Sparks425Ex]

Very Nice Front End. That is an Expensive one Too.. If ya don;t mind where did ya get it and How much change ya toll out for it?..


Very Sweet Either way...

[YLW400]

[YLW400]

[Dave400ex]

Them shocks are awesome. Very nice front end. Haven't seen to many Gibson setups...

[Foxrage]

Thats sweet. How much was everything?

[Live2Ride300]

Those are pretty damn sweet man, where did you order them from?

[QuadJunkies]

WHOA! Now THAT is very nice!!!..:blah

[YLW400]

Thanks for the compliments guys and gal :D I got the shocks fro Baldwin and the arms from K&K.

I dont know of any other Gibson setups on here Warriorman......wait there was one guy, Houser400 or something, I think he has them too

[jlhughes750]

WHY DID U GO WITH GIBSON???? THERE A LITTLE FUNKY LOOKING. DID U RESEARCH HOW MUCH TESTING THEY HAVE DONE?? HAS ANYONE BROKEN THERE SET UP YET??? JUST CURIOUS, I'VE HEARD THERE A LITTLE WEIRD????

[YLW400]

Well, you probably dont want to know the real reason I went with them...lol They were the only +3's I could find in stock...lol And really, I like the look of them alot. They dont look like anything else. The gullwing like sweep is cool, at least I think anyway. Have you ever seen a pair up close? I think these will be durable. As far as the testing, no I didn't research it. Do you know something I dont? :( What do you mean, "you heard there are a little wierd"?

Don't worry man, you bought a very nice setup, I bet anything it won't give you any trouble...Gibson makes top notch products, and so does PEP...you did good ;)

[Wired]

wow you suck :grr oh well, haha very nice setup!! but one question.... why screw the looks up with the stock bumper :chinese: :cool:

[YLW400]

Why thank you guys.....and Wired :blah lol.....Well, my Duncan should be on its way....They seem to be a pain in the butt though. I will post some when I get it in just for you Jon.....lol

[eca400]

Jason Hughes, why do you act like you dont have a clue about gibson? You know what they are, and who sells them. There is a test on them in the April ATV Action magazine with very good reviews!!
To the customer that bought the Gibson Mx Aarms they have been tested by the top shock builder in the country with the one of the fastest Mxers. That would be Mike Halic from Custom Axis and Joe Byrd. Jason lives 2 miles from our shop ,and buys some of his parts for his bike, and now he acts clueless. He has been in the shop and seen the +1 XC and the +3 MX aarms on bikes in the shop and said and I quote "They do look different but it seems like a lot of people like them." If he wants to bad mouth our product do it to our face not behind a computer screen. We take constructive criticism from any body and like a lot of the ideas they give or concerns they have, we have made many minor changes throughout the last couple of years and all for the better.
Lets ask Jason Hughes "Why John Natalie never used the Herrman Racing Chassis for anything more than a practice bike? Why does John not want anything to do with the Herrman chassis this year, even to use as a practice bike?"
To sum all this up, THUMBS DOWN to Jason Hughes!!www.eastcoastatv.com[/URL]

[YLW400]

I am the guy who bought the Gibsons. I am very impressed with the craftsmanship put into those things. Doesn't Attix run these too ECA? If they last for him, I am very sure they will last for me.

[Doibugu2]

Man YLW that is one wide mother. Hope you have real open trail riding. But it looks cool. I like the sweep of the a arms.

Ben, man we have a lot of dealers and builders on here. You should feel proud the way this place has grown.

[DEAL]

Well..... Time to start saving my $$

[T-R-X]

good choice on the Gibson's they work, and hold up great. This year will be my second season with them.

lookin good !!:D

[Extremeracer167]

i dont think JL was badmouthing anyone? But i say we dont start a flame fest now. We just went through that with lonestar. I believe Gibson is a good product, but its def. not a good way to attract customers by attacking others and trying to make other chassis sound inferior. I dont mean to flame you eca400. And if this is DG then i really like your story about how u began your business. It truly inspired me when i read it. so lets just all havea vote, and everyone say that Herrmann and Gibson are great products, b4 the thread turns ugly:D

[Dave400ex]

I agree that both Gibson and Herrmann make great products. Just because Natalie doesn't like them doesn't mean some average weekend rider/racer wouldn't. I think the prices on Gibson stuff is a little high, but rather then that it looks good.

[eca400]

finishing attix's crf 500 open pro am bike with gibson frontend for sat .he will be running it this week in macon ,not starting anything but jl acts dumb when he knows exactly what is going on!

[Mxbubs]

Gibson vs. Herrmanns

Gibsons===king pin set up, no ball joints, readily available.
PRICE=1000K

Herrmanns===king pin set up, no ball joints, readily available.
PRICE=775$

I know which ones I would get, wait a minute, I already got them.


:D

[YLW400]

crf500???? That guy is too fast as it is.....lol... Give him an XR75, then maybe I can hang. I am going to Easton Saturday to dial my stuff in, if u all get a chance, slide over

Yo Dave, Im not a mathematician, and I really dont give a darn what kind of a-arms someone is using, or what kind of toilet paper they wipe with.

Facts are facts Dave.

1000$--gibsons
775$ ---herrmans

Any questions?:macho

[Mxbubs]

Oh yeah, why is he being allowed to advertise his dot com here, he doesnt pay the sites bills.

Ben?

[trx400ex]

Well what can i say, i dont like companies that come on forums only to stick up for their products and bash others. Some people however answer alot of questions and give info even if they know they arent going to make a sale. John Arens is one of these people. Oh and its spelled ARENS not AHRENS East Coast Atv.

[Dave400ex]

I agree with trx400ex. John has never really tried to advertise, but he has more then helped a bunch of guys on this site. He seems very nice and I hope to meet him at Red Bud...

[YLW400]

Well, back to the topic of this thread...lol I got to ride with my new setup this weekend, and I like it alot. The shocks arent as soft as I thought they would be, but I certaintly dont feel like I am going to break my ankles if I case something. The +3's help soooo much with cornering, feels very stable. Everyone that says "Those 3+1 are going to make you nose dive" and all of that crap, I wasnt feeling it if it was. I was probably jumping better then I ever have, and I havent ridden before this weekend in 3 months. On a bad note, a buddy that came from Jersey to ride with me, rolled his R on his leg and broke it in five places.....4 places in the bone that runs from your knee to your ankle, and one break in his ankle. I thought there was no way he broke anything by the way he was acting. He was very calm, we were laughing and joking right before he left to go to the hospital. He is getting pins and whatever else put in it today. First time at Easton, and on the second lap. It as sooooo muddy there though, I think thats why it happened, He barely overshot this tabletop, and his bike kinda stuck in the mud causing him to roll over, I looked back and saw him stuck under the bike. I jumped off mine, while it was still running and tried to flip the bike off of him, but wasnt having too good of luck because of the mud. But another guy on a Raptor stopped and helped us real quick to get him out of there. It was a mess. I almost crashed countless times cause of the mud. I am not one to gripe about mud, but it was muddy....lol I almost endoed on my face RIGHT in front of my wife and Sharpshooter :eek2: Needless to say being the smart***** that "sharpshooter" is, I got a standing ovation..lol

[Sandragggen]

$1000 for a-arms. These manufactures and/or dealers are ripping people off bad. How much time and material are in a A-Arm. It's just a bent peice of chromoly for god sake. I think I will pull out the ol'e pipe bender and welder and start popping these puppies out for a grand.

[YLW400]

Thats what a million other people say sanddragggen....But noone steps up and does it, Thats why we pay a trillion dollars a set

i have a question,
i havent heard of any of these riders running the gibson frame???????why?
if i am wrong i appoligise(sp?) but all i keep hearing about is the front end,what about the frames and swing arms??

by the way, this is what my gibson frame looked like when i got it.

[QuadRacer041]

o well cant get the pic to post but i know a lot of you have already seen it, is horrible.

[YLW400]

I didnt buy a crap front end, did I Lou?

[QuadRacer041]

well the only thing i can say is they look cool,the only experince i had with gibson was a frame and i had major problems.
if you want to know more about it do a search, i really dont want to start a big flame here.
i know TRX has had them for a while and he really likes em, so i guess they aren't that bad.

[jlhughes750]

Looks like a stirred up a bees hive,read this before anyone thinks i was starting anything!!!!!!!

I asked a question, to ylw400 why he choose a product????? was it convienience, price, research, advertising???????? simple research followed by my own opinion!!!!!!

What ever else is going on here is not my doing. I do not advertise for either co. I use products from a variety of different companys depending on my needs, sponsors help a great deal, and i like to help them out by mentioning there products whenever i can.

I have never said anything derog. about anyone nor do i plan to . so the thumbs down that was thrown my way was uncalled for. As far as the Herrmann Gibson product thing, i have nothing to say, i was simply asking a research question as to why someone choose a specific product!!!!!!!

BTW eca400, they're still weird looking.

REMEMBER, I ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION? THAT WAS ALL.

later,J

Any questions?

OK wel if u start that then what about the past how many years in MX racing.

Tim Far...........Leager
Dana Creech.........Leager
I believe shane Hitt used Leager
Doug Gust used Leager
Travis Spader.........Roll
Then we can switch over.

Bill Ballance.......Roll
William Yokley........Roll
Matt Smiley.........Roll
Barry Hawk.........Leager
Chris Borich.........Leager

Then this season from what i gather......
Farr.......Walsh
Creech.....Walsh
Gust......Walsh
Ballance......Axis
Yokley......Roll
Duvall.....Houser

I dont see where Gibson has a TOP name on the List. Sure those guys are fast that u mentioned. But the fastER guys are on differant products.

Any Questions

[YLW400]

YLW400............ Gibson................LMGDAO!!! :eek2: :D :blah

[Extremeracer167]

Hey TRX.......you are on your second season with yours?????? How do you still have the stickers on them???? Mine came off after the first ride!

Originally posted by YLW400

+3+1 Will make the nose lighter not heavier. Also i dunno what the shape of those a arms are called i think there called like gull wing lol but anyway they look like they dont sag as much as regular shape a arms. Do they still sag a lot? Nice set up by the way:D

[YLW400]

I put mine next to Sharpshooters to see how much difference the wheelbase was. I t is only about a half inch :eek: That didint sound right! I have way more than that...lMAO They sag agood bit, I havent messed with the ride height adjustment. I dont really understand how to do that...lol Thanks for the compliment! How are you liking your setup by the way?

[Bean]

Gibson is cheaper than Roll, and a few other brands, and is more expensive than some, who cares, a-arms are just like shocks, buy what you want, and win with it, thats it

[Dave400ex]

I agree with Bean. It mostly comes down to the rider...

:blah :blah :blah

Originally posted by YLW400

I love my setup but im gunna have to wait to ride it again cuz i just sent out my rear shock

[YLW400]

Whats kinda wait time are you looking at on that?

[QuadRacer041]

hey eca,
how come you didnt respond to mine and some other post's about the gibson frame and most of the top 10 pro rides not using gibson????:confused:

[jcv400ex]

Yeah ECA's attitude displayed on here is exactly what you can expect calling them or walking into the store in my opinion.... I was not impressed.

And boy, that universal seat latch looks alot like the one I got from another Pennsylvania ATV race shop.......

[lilbobby]

i bought gibson a arms i got them and they would'nt fit my bike i called and complaned and they did'nt do squat for me so now i am stuck with these gibson arms nevermind im stuck with them im sure many others are also... you can buy herrmann racing a arms that are long travel for 775.00 you save a couple hundred dollors.... and they are great....

[YLW400]

Your a-arms didnt fit? Who did you get them from? They wont do anything about it? I find that kinda hard to believe dude.

I have the Herrmann's, and I really like them. However, this post smells like fish.

This is this guys 1st post, and he makes his first post to knock a product?? HHMMMNN>....I could be wrong, but the sure smells fishy to me.

P.S. BEN, my bud Beerock was banned for commercial advertising. ECA has posted this in his last reply. www.eastcoastatv.com

Smells like commercial adverstising to me. Thanks for taking care of it.
