I have a project i could use some advice on . I have a eton viper thats my sons old race quad that im turning into a trail play bike and want to go dual arms on it. Im doing this lo-buck so no dc kits or anything like that i have a set of std travel apex arms and 400ex hubs spindles and calipers and im going to rework the frame to fit these. my main ? is the front frame where the arms mount has a rake to it but its way more then the apex which is around 10 deg it looks like 20 plus. can i follow this with the dual arms and be ok or should i bring my top arm forward more to bring my kingpin angle back like it is on his race apex?? i could also cut the frame and lower the angle that way too.

KIngpin angle? Your talking camber or caster and the correct settings are very important.
