what would i need
- Thread starter JaronMoor#7
- Start date
depends on what kinda of racing you do. mx id say +3/+1 trail +2/+1 an the price wise depends if u buy used or new an what brand they r. prices used an new will rang from 200 - 600 easly. hope that helps
if you buy new arms, you need new shocks, stock shocks arent valved for your weight and added leverage from the longer arm. +3 is great for everything...careful on tight trails tho. new, shocks can be 300-1000 depends what you want. a arms can run 300-700 or so. best bet is to buy used. problem is its hard to snag a deal..everybody is on them..so i would say asr or burgard arms, and works dual rates....elkas will run about 475. have em valved for your weight (with gear), riding style, and arm length.
ok so i dont really need anything but shocks and the a arms so i could put the a arms on and shocks and go ride or do i need anything else because i am gettin something for christmas and i dont wanna get the a arms if there is a whole bunch of other stuff i need
yeah you will need TIE RODS( there you go calcium say it with me T I E R O D S) haha JK, and longer brake lines would be a reccomendation but you could mod your brake line mounts to make it work but i would just get better a arms, also, on ARS's website i read that you could use the stock shocks, because since I'm already having issues with what to getfor the front a arms and if i need new shocks then i'm gonna say screw it.
Ok man did some quick research and found this
Lone Star Racing - A-Arms - Yamaha Blaster
from what these a arms requir it says it needs ball joints and gives you some part #'s, and from what i read it also gives you tie rods with the kit, these are way to expensivee, i would go with asr for a arms they are by far thebest, and for a cheaper price, also if you widen the front might as well widen the back with a banshee axle too.

Your best bet is going to be ebay. If your patient you can find some good deals. I paid about $700 for my front end. $265 for the a-arms and $400 for the elka's. Like rockstar said, try to find good used ones. If I would have bought mine new the a-arms are almost $900 and the shocks are about $1200. I would also recommend getting the steel braided brake lines when you get a-arms. There only about $70 and they make the brakes respond better when you grab the lever
If your really gonna race... Don't bother with non adjustable shocks. Atleast get Compression and possibly H/L speed comp. Makes it a totally different beast!I:I
