txboozehound Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 not to change the subject or anything, but is there a track right there around humble? Quote
tats4life Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 the denton racing j-arm stuff is real nice....i have a buddy that has it but he mx's...i don't think it would work to well for tt or st...not to much adjustability.....just my .02's Quote
Proquad101 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 I had a friend that had a j-arm bike and he had the a-arm kit put on it and got some ricky stators. He didnt have any problems with it all. Quote

FlatTrackinIt55 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Posted February 5, 2005 is there anything differant about the denton j-arms than stock ones? such as handling positon?? Quote
John19 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) They make a j-arm conversion kit so you can run a-arms. I use the quicksand a arms +2 +1 with some works dual rate shocks that are about 2 inches shorter than stock shocks with a swaybar. In the rear I have a lowering block so I can adjust the height of the rear. I have a stock adjustable swingarm its set at -2. Some people run a direct link shock set-up (proquad101) and they say you get more traction, also you don't have to worry about dragging the bannana on the ground.

cdw Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 D34, jinx44 and Proquad101 all have great set-ups. I'm sure they will have some good advice for you but you might have to spend a little coin. Quote
Proquad101 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 Curtis that guy called me I'm going to go get that shock bracket for you, I will contact you when I get put together. Quote

John19 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Posted February 6, 2005 also, proquad where can i get info on that rear no-link suspension set-up 318019[/snapback] It will require a new rear shock. I bet he would sell you the whole bike ready to go! Quote
FlatTrackinIt55 Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Posted February 6, 2005 It will require a new rear shock. I bet he would sell you the whole bike ready to go! 318282[/snapback] i think i read awhile back that proquad101 said you could use the stock rear shock with a stiffer spring how much would a new afco rear flattrack shock be proquad?
