What is your opinion on the Houser product line? I am thinking of getting Houser's +1W, +1/2F a-arms and a standard length swingarm. I do most trail riding with small jumps and some desert racing. The desert racing can be really rocky, so I want to make sure that they are good quality. I'm liking the Houser's for the price and also the grease zerks. Any body have experiance with these products?

I like mine. They seem to be very popular on this forum.

Never had any problems what so ever out of mine and they were high quality

If I get the new swing arm, do I have to get a new axle bearing carrier? Or can I use the stock one?

I was thinking about \houser a-arms but after listening to John Arens I think I am gunna go with his stuff when it is time. He doesn't seem to mind to put in the time and research to make an awesome product.

u can use ur stock carrier. all the measurements r the same from each carrier, the aftermarket ones r supposed to be stronger.

Rico has both and I have never heard him say anything bad about either part. I think you will be very happy with the Houser products.
Quadfather, do you have the +1 front end with 4+1 rims? If you do how do you like that compared to stock?

Houser products work great I think..I replaced my front a-arm bushings once in 2 years...other than that..good stuff I think...

If you have a 400ex I wouldn't get +1or 2 forward. just get standard +1's.

The main reason why I like to Houser's is for the grease zerks. Is there other a-arms and swing arms with the zerks?

I have Houser +1 +1/2, with standard (stock) offset race rims. The difference is amazing. No more 2 wheeling in the corners. It's like riding on rails.

The more I hear about that setup the more I want to do it. What did you pay for your Race Rims front and rear?
