98bansheetwin Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I have had a set of a arms i purchased off line. They didnt come with any bushings or anything. So i purchased a complete set from american star. Today i went to install them into the a arms, and they are too small. I have no way to identify what brand a arms these are. Could someone point me in the right direction on where to get correct bushings or find out the brand of a arms.

98bansheetwin Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I've been looking for hours and have found nothing that looks like these. But think they do look a little like burgard a arms. This would make sense because they wouldn't fit in the spindles. But where would I get the bigger bushings at? Just make them?

98bansheetwin Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I did talk to the guy. He just bought his banshee a week or so before he listed the a arms. He said he has no idea what brand they are. They are very beefy a arms. Very nice welds, and very thick and durable material. Ive compared to burgard, avenger, full flight, alba, roll design, leagers, and i believe armadillo. Are there any other brands out there?

BUILDER Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Did they not have bushings in them when he pulled the bike apart? I would be asking him for the bushings because if they are a odd size they are not going to fit anything else he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It may be best to search out a bar of derlin and take it to a fella with a lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 check out ishock arms... they don't use the stock dustcaps and bushings... they have their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I see you have the metal bushings, but what about the delrin bushings and dust caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98bansheetwin Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 They dont appear to be ishock a arms either. They didnt come with anything but the a arms and the ball joints. They do not fit into stock spindles either. Ive looked for days, ive googled every brand, every different a arm ever made and none are a complete match.

98bansheetwin Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Finally after tons and tons of research, i think i might be on to something! I googled strong arm banshee a arms and they look identical! Story about the company "strong arm" is that they were from canada and got bought out by another company which i could not find. Could someone else confirm that they look like strong arms? Also, does this mean i wont be able to get any parts off shelf?

98bansheetwin Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 It would be more my fualt. He stated in the description that they did not come with bushings because they were bad. He said he didnt know what brand they were either. I figured for 100$ shipped, it would be no problem. Anyhow, im going to attempt to make a set tonight at work on the lathe. I bought a chunk of brass from my company for $5. So itll be a cheap trial run. Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
