+2+1 a-arms

[bkg479]

I am buying some bourgard a-arms tomorrow for 125 bucks, I was wondering what my best thing for suspension would be, now that i have that little extra length. I dont really want to spend a whole lot of money, just seeing what some of you guys are running, and what a fairly cheap way of gettin decent suspension.

well i got burgard +2+1 a-arms with works front shocks on the way......

 

[Valhalla]

banshee shocks if you have arms designed for regular travel. if you have long travel arms the cheapest way to make them nice would be the 450R shocks.

Well I havent actually got them yet, they are chrome +2+1, and I belive standard travel, also how is that brand I have heard mixed things about them. Also does that seem like a good deal

 

[Valhalla]

sounds like an awesome deal. beware, you have to have your spindles reamed for burgard arms to work with the stock ones. i just bought the reaming tool myself for $59 on the snap-on website. the ball joints that burgard use are larger than the stock blaster ones so you need to make a little more room

 

[bkg479]

is it hard to ream them?

 

[Valhalla]

hell if i know. i havent ever done it. but i have the tools and plenty of people on here to offer advice when the time comes.

I ran yfz450 fronts with burgards. Shocks were a little tight when mounting them up but once they were in they worked great.

reaming is easy. just do a tiny bit at a time...don't want to take out too much!!

once i get home in 2 weeks and get started on it, ill be sure to take a bunch of pics and make a "how to" on the subject.

 

[245stroker]

^^^ that would probably come in handy for alot of people.

yes it would cuz i needa do it for strokers sh*t. stroker are the shocks tight? or do they ride nice and soft but the compression is set right so they dont give to fast?
