Indubitably Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 IMO get Quicksand arms and a swingarm. SInce there won't be a ton of pressure on the axle I say go with a Ricky Stator one because it's cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Check out eyeball engineering, I am very happy with my a-arms from them and not overly priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 I race TT also, but D34 probably has the sweetest setup... Anyway, I run +2 +1 Ricky Stator a-arms, Lonestar +2 axle, stock swingarm (for now), and Works front shocks. I think Lonestar makes the best axles, but for TT only you might consider a Ricky Stator axle like Indubitably said, or maybe the new TEAM axles (not sure how they compare on price but the quality is supposed to be good). I wouldn't consider Durablue, don't have firsthand experience but have heard enough horror stories. I also agree about the Quicksand a-arms, from what I've seen and heard they are a good product, and offer castor adjustment that my Ricky Stators do not. For what I paid, I love the Ricky Stators, and would recommend them, but if you want castor adjustment they don't have it. You don't need long travel so no need looking at those, and avoid anything sold by or built by American Star. There are many good a-arms on the market, and just for TT you could use "rec" arms instead of the heavier MX arms, like Lonestar for instance. Others to consider are Janssen, nice arms there. I think D34 runs top-of-the-line AFCO shocks, ride height adjustable; very nice shocks. Personally, I'm looking at Works TT shocks to lower the front without a "kit", since some kits won't work with aftermarket a-arms (the billet ones on ebay that mount to the a-arm). For now I run my Works triple rate fronts with the middle spring removed for TT, it drops the nose a good 2" or more. I run a stock rear shock along with a lowering link (similar to the billet ones on ebay-I'll upgrade to that soon), and just increase the preload and compression depending on how low I've got it set. I have to switch between a TT and dune setup so I like the billet link better than the Durablue. You can have the stock swingarm shortened, mrmatt here on the forums does it for around $100. If you can afford it, go with an aftermarket swingarm with a round housing (Honda style), like Quicksand or Lonestar. One other thing to consider is a swaybar. I run a Rand's from Nac's and it works OK, but is nowhere near the quality of a Rath, Lonestar, or even a Durablue. When I can afford it I'll be running a Rath or Lonestar. Hope this helps.
