[toomeyshee87]

[Screamin_Banshee]

Convert to A-arms, I think you will be much happier

[toomeyshee87]

you really think so? ok ill go on your word. do you know how much the kits are??

[Screamin_Banshee]

Check with Meat, I bought one from him for around $125 or so (dont hold me to it, its been a while)

[toomeyshee87]

thats a lil high but ill see

later

[Screamin_Banshee]

cheapest you will find anywhere!! If you would have asked a week ago I would have sold you a set....

[toomeyshee87]

haha shit a little to late..ok ill hafta talk to him

[Banchetta]

I've seen them for $150, then you have to buy the arms for $700. D-arms cost $300. Depends on what you can afford. Fireball racing had some cool arms for the '88 and '87. Check them out.

[toomeyshee87]

why is it 700 for a arms?? i can get some new for 400. ok ill check em out.

[Banchetta]

Depends on the brand. I want the 2+2 Roll design. Looking at $890. The cheapest I've seen is 470 for American star. Most of them are around 650+shipping and tax.

[toomeyshee87]

how wide do you think that i should go for mx?? also would it be too wierd to have wider arms and new shocks without an extended axle for awhile?? i dont have enough money to get it all at once.

[Banchetta]

My axle is adjustable and I keep it stock width. My backend is still 1" wider than my front. You don't want the back wider than the front. Think of a 3-wheeler. Then imagine coming down on one side from a jump. You want a wider front end.

[toomeyshee87]

ok thanks!

The only other kit I know of costs $200 plus they want another $17 for shipping and they only include one A-arm bolt, you have to buy the other one from your dealer at a cost of about $10 per bolt. $217 for ATVRacing's kit. :roll:

 

my kit, $125 total with both A-arm bolts included. They are not as easy to fabricate as you might think...... The tube steel I use is thicker walled and larger diameter than the competiton and the plate steel I use for the A-arm mounting tab is also thicker. The long 10-inch A-arm bolts cost me nearly $20 for 2 bolts and I im only charging $5 for shipping while the actual cost of shipping is $10, so im pitchin in $5 bucks for shipping. Fuck ATVRacing, they have raped enuf Banshee owers.

You go meat... 8)

 

As far as width, I think +3 puts you at 50inches. At least that is what I have been told. Correct me if I am wrong.
