RagunCajun Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 +2 sounds too good to be true. Anybody has tried Alba a-arms? If so, are they any good? :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 This is the best price I've found all day on a combo package. What do you guys think? It's no $750 though!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BANSHEE-2-1...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Do you need something top of the line like ELKA? if not buy some decent shocks and a-arms and come out cheaper. Im in the same boat though, im shopping for a new front end set up. I think wicked a-arms are $300. That along with some decent shocks and ima call it a day.

Michael Jackson Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 wow, full flight finally got with the program and started making chromoly a-arms... cool, only problem is they are still cheap heim joints arnt they? when i was lookin at gettin some of those full flights, they told me in an email that you could add upgraded chromoly heim joints for more money, meaning the ones they give you with them must be shit.

I'd like to spend less for a good product, I just don't know where to look or who to contact. Anything is better than stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 same here. shocks are my only concern since i heard wicked a-arms are good for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I would go with wicked. I think they use real ball joints. I am not a fan of the heim joints. They get dirt in them then they dont last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 one word: s u s p e n s i o n you can only go as fast as your suspension lets you... its great to have hp, but not much sense in having a bunch of hp and a stock suspension, a piped banshee with decent suspension would KILL a 60+Hp stock suspended banshee through any terrain unless it was a paved road..and even then, when a corner comes up, bye bye So True. For high output motors. What good is it with-out suspension. It also gotta be set up right for what type of riding you do, or your gunna get hurt. Only with in time 60-70 h.p. motor stock set up. Can spit you right-off, or your stright out like a flag trying to hang on the f--king thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach45 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 call mike at ASR.. 399 you get the +2+1 or +3+1 arms with tie rods... or 499 you can get the same thing with the better tie rods with better ends and SS brake line kit.. MJ saw my arms in person and im sure he will tell you how well they were built.. they are fuly adjustable and have chromoly hemi joints and arms are made fully from chromoly here are my +3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 yea the asr's looked very nice and very well made wheni saw em on zach and wackos bikes. very beefy and very nice welds, if you want something with full adjustability and heim joints, i would definitly consider them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I like the looks of that. Which kind of shocks did you go with zach? looks like yfz450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yeah I'm interested in that too. Could you do those wicked a arms and then do 450 shocks or will it make your bike sit a little higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach45 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 i run 450 shocks... and there fine for now... im not droping another 500+$$ for shocks... 450 are fine for now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I sense some hesitation. Do you not like them that much? Or what do you see are the draw backs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
