These are the Wicked Products arms that I am sure most of you have seen on Ebay. After some research and phone calls I decided to spring for them. The quality is great. Clean welds/joints and beefy construction. They went on great with no problems. A little bit of muscle here and there and they were on.

These are the +2+1 chromoly arms and in my opinion right up to par with some of the other big name arms out there. I haven't had the chance to ride on them because I blew my head gasket. I'll get some pictures up of them mounted on my quad in the next few days. Oh and sorry about the pictures, the lens on my camera was dirty. :rolleyes:

Everybody that I have asked with experience with these arms has great things to say about them. I would put them right next to Houser, Burgard, Lonestar, etc. Anybody thinking about buying a set of these, go for it. I don't see how you could regret it. :)

No website as far as I know. Search for 400ex a arms on eBay and you will see them. Wicked Products.

Maybe you could come out to the Trap Rock quarry sometime. Have any friends that ride? We are getting pretty crazy out there. There are some huge piles out there with some nasty climbs and we have gotten to the point where we will almost try anything. My buddies that ride bikes are nuts... It is huge out there. Most of the riding is climbing trap rock piles or hitting them to get air. There are also some good long stretches in the open to drag race. We either ride in the quarry or at my house on my track.

I blew a head gasket on Friday, so I have to get that fixed. I am going to put in oversize studs so this won't keep happening.

Hey thanks guys! :) I have air scoops and some other little things coming. Figured it was about that time to get some more stuff for it. If I have a break from ice drags for a while this winter I am going to PC the frame. Maybe I should just ride my sled in the winter... Nope gotta ride both. ;)

Toad, what do you guys ride? I have to fix a blown gasket and an oil leak in my side case sometime soon. Also have to split the case on a guy's RM125 motor and figure out what the problem is. I am too busy for my own good! :blah:

i ride a 400ex, flyin#5 rides a...blaster...i know, it's disappointing isn't it? and three of our other friends ride 400ex's, two of them stock.

so don't worry, all of us (besides the blaster) ride good quads:cool:

haha, jk mike...for a stock blaster, he seems to keep up pretty well.

here's a pic of the 400 i ride:cool:

You need to surface the head and the top of the cylinder b/c they are bad to warp!! Those A-Arms do look good!!!!
