NAXbansheeman11 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Anyone know anything about theses a-arms Viper Fab-tech JD GWC (goldenwestern cycle) Or should I just go with another set of quicksand? Anyone know I can get a good a-arms shocks combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Never heard of any of those, except GWC is a race shop and I don't believe they make their own, usually they use Gibson, but someone can shed some light on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Depending on how wide, you might not need revalving, sometimes a stiffer main spring is all that's necessary. Easy $40 fix right there, and you can do that in about 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Just don't get heim joints for standard travel a-arms. I have the ricky stator a-arms and for $500 they have went through hell. If I mess one up, I'll be buying more ricky stators. They aren't fancy though. Plain grey when you get them. Maybe he does chrome too, I don't know. The quicksands look very good. Just stay away from heim joints. I will stand by that no matter what anyone says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Just go with a manufacturer that offers lifetime warranty on their a-arms and you want have to worry about purchasing another set. As for ball joint types here is a good article disucssing the pro's and cons of the different types.Ball joint comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I read through that and I still wouldn't buy heim joints unless until they improve the design. I've seen to many that are sloppy. I have ball joints and jump at a mx track. I don't have any trouble with them breaking. I'm over 200lbs. The banshee doesn't have enough suspension travel to benefit from the heim style joint unless you are going long travel. I'll stick with the reliable automotive type ball joints for my application.

RNBRAD Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I agree, the heim joints are still to new that their are definitely some designs or manufacturers that are not building them very well as with everything that is new. They have improved undoubtedly just over the last year or so. So don't knock the design just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 All these new names..2nd rate work..What about Leager, Roll design, Lonestar?? You know the solid companies with damn good reputation, quality and experiance. I know all three of these companies offer package deals on front end setups. All depends on how much you want to spend and how long your willing to wait. These 3 companies kept the ATV world on it's feet for the last 2 decades or so...O wait 4 companies East cast ATV's own line Gibson is pretty good as well..their powder coating could use a little work though. Then their is Denton racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
