    you'd be better off buying them it would be alot safer...but..if the welder is a pro and such i guess it could be done safely.

    i was thinkin about saving up like $800 and still making them, so if they do break, i could just go out and buy some. but i mean if they work then thats $800 that i could spend on other stuff. anyone else?

    I make my own a arms, swing arms, steering stems, tie rods, and modify my frames. I do not recomend you do this unless you are skilled in more than metal fab. The design and engeneering to get a perfect setup is much more than the fab work if you are doing extended ones. However, I would give you some pointers and advice if you want to try it. I make my stuff for mojaves that I race in the 300 or 350 cc 4 strk class. Check out the stuff I make at the site below. look in my super mojave album for my newest a arms and stuff.

    WOW! Thats pretty sick. have you ever made some arms for a banshee or any other quads? well, now that i saw yours, i think im goin to give it a try. but first i need to get metal and stuff. i was wondering, what size tubing to get and what kind to use. but if i make +3's, im goin to need to get shocks right. i cant run stock with them right? and if i do make +3's would it be better to run 19 inch shcoks? well, i wount ask any more questions until i start to get closer to makeing them. but if you could help me out i would really apreciate it. thanks
