But as far as buying a standard +2+1 A-arm setup no you can't. You can conver the j-arm from to a-arm mounts, but it takes a substantial amount of work. Unless you feel pretty confident in your fabrication skills I would recommend looking for an A-arm frame bike if you are dead set on widening the front.

Trick2stroke Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 They sell extended J-Arms, look around. Aside from that, you can buy an a arm frame for a few hundred, or modify the frame you have. Those are your options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
