Alright so Im building a 400ex CRF hybrid and can't decide between Laeger or Roll design. I would love to get some walsh flow arms but they don't make them for 400ex. Also Im going to be flat tracking and mx, so they need to be multi fuctional.

I didn't know you guys were that big of fan of jb parts? I like gibson a arms but for flat tracking purposes they're not ideal. What about walsh?

my buddy used to flat track and mx a baldwin built 450r and it had JB racing the whole way around...now mind being it was long travel...but it handled like a dream and the a-arms/swing arm worked flawlessly....jody bateman makes some top notch products


we'd all love to have some walsh if we could afford it haha....honeslty, houser makes a really good product, and is a decent price, but they dotn have long travel anymore for the 400


i dont konw if four play makes anything for the 400 anymore...they dont list anthing for them or the ltz400 on their website, but that doesnt mean that they dont make them anymore...best bet would be to call them

Buy a pro-trax (T-pin) front end from laeger its probably the best money can buy...

Lol very similar? Just because they're a arms doesn't make them similar.

Is it just me, or did NOONE read the first post?

He just said they dont make walsh for the 400ex anymore.

If you can read hes the one who asked what about walsh? After he stated that walsh doesnt make them anymore in his first post. No one else said walsh.

Im thinking Walsh.. The Laeger t pins are cool but for $2100 I think I'll pass, also I talked to the mike at Laeger awhile back and he was a complete dick, No help from him at all!!

If I were you, I'd look around the for sale section before I bought something new. I got my walsh front end for half of what a new one costs.

Walsh still makes 400ex stuff..... before i sold my bike and was contemplating a rebuild i called and priced a swing-arm and a-arms.. was just going to be a little wait time, as it's not something they keep around.... unless they've decided to not do anymore in the last few months...

I guess you haven't seen their pro comp a arms, they have been designed by one of the major shock companies, to work at the best angles, shock placement, and width for anti body roll, and handeling just like JB, and Walsh, at a greatly reduced price.

Yes I've seen them and I would take a used set of JB or Walsh over them any day.

You know what is interesting, I don't know who you are, but you have had somthing negative to say about every post I have made, you bash, my family, the riders that ride for us, the company I work for, and the products we make. Its amazing that someone, that has never tried our products can be so negitive about them. So it must be personel, and your comments on our products ect. should be taken as a bash from someone very childish. grow up, and if you ever do, i would like to hear your adult, comments, if you ever do try our products.

I mean I know someone that owned a set and they had nothing but problems. I actually wasn't bashing them. I was just stating I would much rather have a set of JB or Walsh over those. I don't really know what else I have said before that could be considered bashing unless you're referring to something that was said about your son assuming you're his father. If that's the case, you need to point out a lot more people besides me. Maybe you're just too sensitive?

I think it is absolutely hilarious that he is talking about "growing up"...maybe he has metaphorically "grown up" in the past few years, and now he expects everyone else has too?

one of those imponderables I guess

Again, I question who has the pro-comps that you have seen in person, only a few riders have them, our team, and a few riders, that we keep in contact with, that are giving us feed back, on how the pro-comp a arms, swingarm, and link work as a package. we have had nothing but good feed back on them, so i am again questioning why you would say that someone has had trouble with them. The thing about bashing my son, what is up with that? we don't even know you, yet you continue to bash him every time you get the chance. It really is not funny to bash someone, that is trying, and in this economey, you could be taking away someones lively hood.

I find that very hard to believe. So you call up every person you've sold a set to just to "check in". Lol give me a break. As for your son, I don't remember the last time I said anything about him and I don't plan on bringing his name up anytime soon. I'm just saying I don't know why you're acting like I've slandered your family name or something. There's a lot more people on this forum that have said worse things than me
