[myusername]

sorry if this topic has been covered a million times, but i dont know what to search for to find it. i'm looking to buy extended a arms, but i just want to know if i were to buy +3 a arms, does that mean that each a arm is 3 inches wider, or are they both just 1.5 inches wider? thanks

search ebay for yamaha blaster a arms , you'll see ones from american star racing , i just ordered a set and I have ordered other parts from them , very reliable and very reputable . Quality parts and they are very reasonable as well , my a arms were 450.00 for long travel +3+1's , anywhere else for new a arms your in the range of 700-1000 bux .

Ah I've been looking at the asr +3 +1 a arms in standard travel but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't paying 450 to widen the front just 3" total lol because from what I've understood, the front end should typically be just a smidge wider than the rear, and I was looking at the g force adjustable axle and the minimum width on it is I think 4 5/8" wider than stock. Right now my frame is with a friend of mine who is going to school for welding engineering and when I get time this week to make it over there, were gonna gusset up the frame and extend my swingarm 3" as well. As soon as I get some pics taken I think I'm gonna start a build thread. I've been searching around this site for the past two days and I found the long travel suspension 101 thread and that's gonna help us out alot when we finally get this thing started up. Anyways, that's enough of my off topic rambling. Thanks for the help guys
