A arm interest?

Big Al · 11-15-2004, 06:22 PM

I spoke to Houser racing about making some A arms for the V and they agreed to take a look. But they would like to know how many might be interested. So lets hear it.

who wouldn't want aftermarket arms? The real question though is the price. So yeah I would buy some if the price was right. Let us know

Thats the reason for the post. Is there enough intest to make it cost effective for them to build.

Maybe they would be interested in building an extended swingarm. Thats what we really need.

I too have spoken to Houser and asked them about this.

I think an optimal setup would be a long travel with a +1 -1 adjustable width and 16 inch shocks.

I was thinking about making my own over the winter.

I have all the tooling to do so.

but... if I can get a set, Lets do It. !!!!!!

I'm game too......I like the +1", +2" idea as well.

bigvforcer · 11-16-2004, 08:16 AM

My only problem with going +2 is how wide it will be on the trails. I ride in some hare scrambles and I am thinking about running a few GNCC' snext year and I am half worried that it will be too wide to fit through some of the tighter spots on some trails.

Whatdo you think about that?

I think it would be great if houser could make a package deal type thing. A-arms(stock length, or wider), shocks, some sort of axle, and an extended swingarm. This would be my dream of the aftermarket companies. Package deals so verything seems cheaper. Whether it really is cheaper would have to be determined.

The +2" wide is not a problem,Why?

Because right now you are probably running stock width or offset rims.Meaning 3+2 offsets.(3" inside and 2" outside).

So if you run the extended a-arm at +1" on each side?
Then you get rims that are 4+1 for an offset?(4" inside and 1" outside)Now you are at the same width as you were but with better stability and more shock travel!

Just my 2 cents.
