Here is a pic of my new 4-wheel addiction A arms I purchased from KBR and Holeshot designs. Paul at Mid Valley, again did an outstanding job on these A arms and spindles. This picture doesn't do it much justice, because out in the sun these have metal flakes that glisten and the coating looks deep and multi colored. Thanks again Paul for the great job !

I just worry that if you like the parts I may not see them back as well as my money. Guess I'm stuck with that Rocket factory guy.
:lol:
1 side, upper and lower is 2 lbs, 12oz's total. that would be 5 lbs8oz's for all 4. That weight does not include A arm end caps or the bushings, just raw A arms and no heim/ball joints. Anyone got a set of stockers that you can finish this equasion?

Thanks, I got the upper arms on tonight, tomorrow the lowers and one of my Fox front shocks will be back from getting new parts cause it was bent. I put a wider axle on tonight ... not sure but the swingarm might have a twist to it :( I'll be able to tell with the front end parts on and getting it sitting level.

Grant, you couldn't send the swinger back and have them put it in the jig to see if it's tweaked like we talked about ?
Can't wait to see it all done.....I know it will look first class like always :thumbs:
That's a good idea on getting the swingarm back off and putting it on a jig. I am trying to get it ready for the dyno this weekend and i'm running up against the clock (as always) :confused:

Yes that's the plan. Dave is busy so i'm waiting to see if he can fit mine in while my shoulder is recovering. I am concerned about this swinger though, If I threw a chain on the dyno, it would be devistating. I might rob a swingarm off of the wife's bike for dyno purposes while I have the swingarm inspected by the builder of it.

I think that's a good plan Grant, that's what I would do if it were me. I really would hate to see it throw a chain on the dyno and fubar your cases, better safe than sorry.
Your running a 16 T front sprocket correct? I opted out of running one because I don't see a way to run a case saver with it. Have you had any luck or idea's with that ?
I was working on a case saver for them but I dont think there is enough room. The short time I ran a 16 tooth it ripped the bottom bolt hole completely off the cases. If its close enough to do that I dont think I can design something to keep it from happening. Im just going to run a 14 and go down to a 34 on the rear If I have to.
Randy, I am running a 15 tooth here on our short hill, only for the longer 500 ft race I ran the 16 tooth. I should have a burly, polyurothane case saver by UPP next Tuesday that will fit up to a 15 tooth sprocket.

Grant, I run the 15 tooth as well. I'm still just running my OEM case saver. Did you break or damage your lower case saver std boss off in the short time you ran the 16T ?

No, my studs are still there but I have seen too many broken chains and cases, so I ordered the Mac daddy case saver. In fact earlier this spring when I was racing Jered McCormick I threw a chain but it didn't damage anything. My swingarm is going out 2 more inches, so even a better reason to protect the motor I think.

I have a UPP & when I threw a chain I think it saved the day :thumbs:
Very happy with it.
