old put-put Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Got a set on a 02 that I put on shortly after I bought it new in late01 still holding up great, so I put a set on my 96 build. They can be a pain to set if you get the adjustable uppers but you can set them for your type of riding. I like mine and have had good luck with them. Quote
special06shee Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks for the info.. I ordered a set of their pro x +3+1!! I hope they hold up well!! They look like a well constructed product!! Quote

You will like the ASR a arms. They tough, nice looking, arms. The set I had on my R took many crashes without fail. Good product. Quote
bansheemandan Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 my buddy has been running them for 2 years with no problems, and he is not easy on the quad, he bent a works shock and nothing happened to the a-arm Quote
special06shee Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Posted November 2, 2012 Just got them in the mail today! Im real impressed with the quality!! Quote
dunesovertrails Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Just got them in the mail today! Im real impressed with the quality!! Let us know how they work out and handle. Quote
Ctown208 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 American star makes quality parts when it comes to the yfz Idk about shock travel or ratio but as far as quality and looks they make a good product. Imo if your getting new shocks I'd have them built for those a arms and quad that you have with the specific weight of the rider. All in all that's how you get your best results out of a arms.. Heims all the way.. Imo! Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Why did you opt for heims? ASR actually uses better heims than the $3.00 ones that EVERY other a-arm manufacturer uses... It's a shame that all of these manufacturers haven't quite figured out that they're putting their customer's lives in danger by using those horrible heims. I've tried convincing certain chassis builders (ahem) that I've done business with in the past about the liability, but apparently cost is much more important than rider safety... Quote
Ctown208 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 I had a stem in a 2012 yfz450r that I tagged a bike on in 4th gear that held up like a champ after it rolled and all down the hill.. Strong products for sure. Quote
special06shee Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Posted November 3, 2012 The heims are defiantly way beefier then most set ups ive seen!! I was told they were kevlar injected for better reliability! Not only is the entire setup well build, the boys at american star were very nice and helpful!! I will be running stock travel elkas with these arm so im sure it will be a great stable ride! Quote

I've tried convincing certain chassis builders (ahem) that I've done business with in the past about the liability, but apparently cost is much more important than rider safety... he is absolutely right. i just ordered a set of these to build a set of arms. the load rating waaay surpasses most others, i know its just a number, but a lil piece of mind no less. i called the guy before ordering them because after talking to matt, i was skeptical and also scared of cheap heims. the guy at asr didnt try to upsell them or even really sell them at all. he simply had all the confidence in the world and then told me in the last 10 years, he has only had one ever fail, that he knows of.

locogato11283 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 ASR are good people. I have bought a ton of brake lines from them over the years. Quote
