jharader Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 No problem, been riding for 25 years myself and safety is always a concern. Would hate to see someone overlook this stuff and get hurt due to it. Cheers Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Quote

Cheers Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk I'm wondering if stainless steel is even that great of a material for this application anyway honestly. Sent from a van down by the river Quote
jharader Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Im not sure as I havnt tested long term effects of stress and fatigue on the particular material. Sure someone around here has though and could chime in. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Quote
2sTrokeLove Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 I don't know much about the arms. I knew right away they needed beefed up on the shock mounts got a buddy to help me with that but if u find out what all they need as strength wise please inform so I can have it added... Sucks but I want to make em strong enough before use. Quote
2sTrokeLove Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 My tabs aren't bent but definitely needs extra lol. 1 Quote
2sTrokeLove Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 The bushings are junk that come with em also. Just crack and break so be careful if u do try and get em out jharader. Quote
2sTrokeLove Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 I won't be running these as they need work. I also advise not to buy. Quote
2sTrokeLove Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 I'm not even going to chance these, think I'm going to buy special06shee's fireball arms. Quote
Deadbeat Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Absolutely comical, I just laughed. Will be sending back/refund as these are a death trap imo.The tabs being .066" thick and BENT? haha yea no thanks, id steer clear of these for future reference. Theres no way in hell id run these Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk unholy SHIT...what kind of mickey mouse product is that lol...i bet noone at the company that made these has even seen a real live banshee Quote
jharader Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 I never expected a pristine product as for what price was paid. Did however think maybe they'd be usable which clearly they are not. I have multiple rides, buying top notch shit for all of them isnt in my budget or best interest. The bike these were purchased for might get rode four or five times a year generally by women.Just exploring avenues which this one is obviously a dead end. 1 Quote
Coupelx Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Stainless could be used if the proper type is used. It would heavy though if think of done right. My lsr arms are quite a bit heavier than stock. Quote
2sTrokeLove Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Posted March 11, 2014 I'll hopefully be sending my arms to ridiculous fabrications and having em fixed. Will post updates when there fixed. Quote
