IamKazam Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Looking on ebay I came across a set of used chrome roll design a-arms w/tierods and ball joints. They're in excellent shape (chrome is perfect, no dents, rust, scrathes) and the guy said that they came off his show bike. What would be a fair price to offer for the arms?

IamKazam Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 yea their lobo II's but the guy is using a std travel shocks so I'm guessing the arms are not long travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook it up with a link to the auction when you get time.... If they are what you say they're worth 500$ + shipping... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawarriorman Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 To me it seems like he'll probably want too much money, especially if he has a buy it now of 975. A-arms are a-arms, and theres plenty out there that will perform every bit as good. Although if you could get them for less than $600 Id go for them.

txblueshee Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 That guys is out of his mind... they are barely over 1$k brand new... BTW: Those sure don't look like standard travel shocks to me... I don't even think that would work... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamKazam Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yea, kinda figured they were a little pricey. He also has a lonestar +4 chrome swingarm and roll steering stem for sale. swinger stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has a lonestar +4 chrome swingarm and roll steering stem for sale. swinger stem Stem is a pretty good priced.. IMO the swinger is about 75-100$ to high... I'd actually buy that stem... roll is best money can buy... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamKazam Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 He accepted 250.00 for the stem, plus he will cover shipping cost. Now, If I can get him to accept 650-700 for the arms which I think isn't to bad. I asked him what length shocks he used and this was his reply, "the axis shocks I had on them were 15-1/2 inch ctr to ctr" Im pretty sure those are not long travel, but not 100% sure.

dawarriorman Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thats a little longer than stock (which is 14.25 or 14.75 I forget). Not enough to make any difference though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 14.75" is stock. a LT shock is usually 19" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamKazam Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 "You have to use long travel shock with this front end. Elka is the shock company that we recommend do to all of our development with" straight from roll design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 "You have to use long travel shock with this front end. Elka is the shock company that we recommend do to all of our development with" straight from roll design Those shocks are LT.. crop a pic of your frontend and put it next to that one.. you'll see the difference... Those are were actually better than I was expecting for e-bay.... 650$ is still tops though... mainly b/c roll stuff is overpriced to begin with.... Not to mention another 800+ for some LT banshee shocks... Just something to kick around... You are definately in the right track for you 'shee... I'm still against the LT setup on them though.... Just a thought.. you could get some BRAND NEW quicksand arms for 550 plus shipping with chrome uppers... 600$ for full chrome... then drop about 750$ on a decent set of used shocks and a rebuild for them... have a whole new front end for about the price that's gonna cost you when it's all said and done... You can usally pick up a used aftermarket rear for about 500$ too... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3/4" longer shock will do absolutely nothing more than cost you more money cuz they get to call it long travel. While Roll stuff is nice, its overpriced. Buy a set of somebody elses a-arms, and get a pair of normal shocks, and save yourself a few hundred bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
