I'm considering buying some JRD +3 A-arms. They look very similar to the roll design shape and have an overal look of high quality. I am wondering if anyone uses / has used JRD a-arms and what they think about them. Thank you for your help in one of the biggest ATV descisions of my life!

Yes, I am very happy with my a-arms! :D

I am the type that likes personal contact with the manufacturer of the products I purchase. Why, I don't know, I just know I like to talk to the man! If this does not happen I will not buy! My philisopy is if I get blown off prior to the sale, I will more than likely get blown off after. And "after the sale" my freind is what seperates the men from the boys, good men from con men...period!

Joe at JRD took the time to explain at length his products, business philosophy and committments to quality. He called me to tell me the arms were almost finished and confirmed the pc color and some minor details.

I have called several times with small questions and such and always received a friendly call back. He even went over and above to answer my questions by passing them on to his pro riders, aquiring the answers and getting back to me.

What else can I say? I will leave the details to JRD!

In a year or two i might build a CRF and i was deff. considering JRD. They have some sweet stuff. When i was at redbud for the atv national....the JRD trailor parked near me...and i got to really check out thier bikes....they had a whole line of JRD/CRF's. they are top notch. I really like how their swingarms are designed. Very nice. And every thing they make is very reasonably prices. Nice guys to talk too! they didn't have any problem with answering as many questions as me and my buddies could throw at them.

So if i buy a YFZ or the new honda quad, or if i build a CRF motored bike, JRD is one of my top choices for chassis products.

I got some. THey work realy well. but when you bolt on the king pins to the ball joints use locktite! i had a king pin fall out a scratch the shlt outa my a arm and bend an almost bran new wave rotor! but they are exactly like Rolls only half the price. you could put a roll sticker on and no one would notice.

Definently buy JRD arms if you want the same quality as Roll but at a reduced price, I'm strongly all for Roll but the quality and construction of the JRD arms is virtually the same compared to Roll's, basically your paying for a Roll sticker on the same arm.
