Ok, This summer I am gunna be getting some cash. So I am gunna get an axle and A-arms. My axle will either be RPM or LSR.

But for A-arms I dont really know what kind to get. I want my quad pretty much as wide as possible without going to long travel.

I am going to race MX, so I dont have to worry about trails. I see most people have +2's, But is it possible to have +3's ??

I need to know what company to go with.. I dont want some crappy made a-arms that are gunna break, but I dont wanna pay big $$$. So if you could recommend what a-arms and how wide that would be great.

Thanks
Craig

I would get either lonstar, houser, leager, JD, or burgard for the money wise your talking about.

get +3s , theres no width restrictions in Canada for racing.
Go with houser.
You could try strong arm but I find them over priced.

Well fleshwound I will see you at the nationals so I could just see it in person:blah: Are you the dude the the sweet shift vest or is that the other guy. Cause theres usually 3 people at Forums trailer, and you guys have 400ex's. I know JRD mech. doesnt make standard travel cause I was at their site.

Also did you ride your shocks with stock a-arms.. or did you just go straight to the +3's. Cause I wanna know how much of a difference this is gunna be:D If I get +3's what size of offset should I get, or just stay with stock rims for the time being?

WTF are you serious...???:eek2: i thought you hated yellow quads?? or is that luke then... i remeber one of you two said that you hated yellow... or i was hearing things again, first race at gpher...

one word of advise nacs... don't ever every buy splash n dirt number plates... because they are ****, i am going to have to scotch tape mine down so it stays on and looks have decent...

BTW- i guess i won't be arriving in my unimog, we blew a break line tonight, so i guess we will be in the car, black ml320 with gray trailer...

ya but you got the maier hood don't you?? i think, it looks killer yellow and black looks awsome...

ya the splash n dirt number plate is ****, mine was put on okay, except for one air bubble and now the whole thing is lifting every day, i am thinking about cutting... but i might be getting a hood soon or the yzf 450 so i don't want to spend anymore. and it does stick as nice as the nacs ones, i have a nacs laying around by the stupid shipping company ripped the front one so guy sent me a new one....

nice, i haven't hacked my front fender yet becuase if i sell it, i think that i will get more dough with the full fender then with shaved... i was going too, but thing kind of back fired on me with the release of the yzf 450 and other stuff, so right now i don't now what too do...

i have a real itch to race... i think its been over a month now since i have been on the track... now i am not holding back i want to see how well i do when i push myself to ride harder...
