I am in the market for either a arms or a swing arm since i read that stock swing arms are really weak and will break from jumping, so i might replace the swingarm before i get the other mods..
i also have a 25% discount on roll design so if they aren't that expensive i might buy there stuff, any who, does roll design make a good quility swing arm and or a arms??
And does any one know their web page so i can get specs for their stuff.
Also what lenght of a arms should i get +1/+2
Or how much longer should i go on the swing arm??
thanks

Roll design is the best on the market. You wanna spend the 4 g's on arms swingarm, shocks you go ahead. your still lookin atleast 3 with the 25% off. Get +2 a arms. Go to www.duncanracing.com to get some details. Your paying for the name somewhat. Your money

Roll is expensive, but if you compare the quality of the material used and the quality of the welds, I don't think you're going to find anyone else that is better. But they can get REALLY expensive. To me, $260 for footpegs is insane. But Roll can't seem to make them fast enough.

Some of the guys on here were talking about skid plates a week or two ago, talking up one particular skid saying it was the best. Last week I saw that EXACT skid laying on the workbench mangled up. After seeing one in person, it's no where near what I have on my bike. So, the point I'm trying to make is, just because something is popular on this site, doesn't mean it's the best one on the market.

Roll Designs front end kit costs 2619 bucks with tax and everything delivered to your house. They come in either plus 1 or plus 3 inch a-arms they do not make a plus 2. Or atleast this is what roll designs told me directly. The rear end kit is 1595.00 shipped to your door that is there price no 25% discount. They come in stock length plus 1,2,3 whatever u want im pretty sure. How did u get the 25% discount?

ALso i forgot if u are in a hurry U do not want to go with roll designs but if u want the best then the wait is worth it. I ordered my stuff about 4 1/2 months ago and i still havent got anything from them except for my footpegs. The last time i called about 2 weeks ago the said my a-arms were going to powdercoat and my swimgarm would be another week or two so it is taking a great deal of time to get this.

The two top of the line front ends are the Roll Design and Laeger's T-pin front ends,,,both very expensive. The Roll Design front end goes for 2,500 and the rear end goes for 1,500. I would rather have the Laeger's T-pin set up though, because it doesn't bind up like ball joints do. Here's a pic of my friends 250R will a Roll Design front end, frame, rear end, and steering stem. My buddies chassis is identical to Travis Spader's chassis in 2000. It costs well over 12,000 complete and that 12,000 dollars is just the chassis parts and nothing else, that quad is well over a 25,000 dollar atv.

Shocks come with the a arms????
I found a 25% discount card laying around in my room and it expires july of 2002. so thats y i looking around for some goodies.
But that price is a little high for a set of a arms, they have to camber caster adjustable and i'll buy, if not lsr will get my vote.

Laegars swing arms how much am i expecting for them???
Who else makes good quility swing arms???
thanks

Most likely that 25% off coupon you got came in H4. I got the same coupon. I called Duncan to order a roll front end, when they told me to coupon isnt good on the aarms. THe coupon is only good on the footpegs and IMS products. The coupon is very deceving showing alll the roll products. But in the corner of the card it says seletives roll products only.

Hey 400exRacerX, That's a little to much for a Quad, $25K. It's a great looking bike, but......:huh I think my buddies 86' 250r w/ about 15-16K is a lot. But it's a nice bike. HAs for the Roll a-arms and swing arm, It's the best on the market, if I have the cash to spend that's what I would get. I hear that Houser are real good parts, and priced just right.

Are you talking about the lobo front end or just the roll a arms without shocks?

I think he is just talking about Roll A-Arms.
