alright im going to order by next week. im getting Denton +2 arms and a +2 swingarm, i do a lot of hill climbing so i decided a +2 swinger would be better for me. i just want to see what everyone says on the swingarm before i order, ive asked a lot of people and they all say +2, i figure its only 3/4 of an inch longer than the 1 1/4 i was planning on getting before. man, im so excited about this! :D :D :D

ok, i talked to denton and they dont have anything in stock and they jacked the prices up. im looking at Burgard +2 +1 A-arms PC'd red with chrome uppers and a +2 swinger PC'd red. i called them but got a answering machine so maybe tomorrow. is burgard good stuff? i know the prices are a lot more reasonable. what else should i look at? is JB good? im wanting to order before next week and denton wasnt much help so im looking at Burgard now.

Yes JB A-arms are AWSOME I'm very happy with them, check 'em out.

(I got the Steering Stem, A-arms, Swing Arm, and Frame Gusseting)

i looked at JB and their a-arms are almost $700 so i think it'll be between Burgard and Houser. i like the burgard because they have +2+1 A-arms

as far as the jbs go... you get what you pay for sometimes, and these are worth the extra money... my quad with the 1 3/8 arms is 48 inches wide with stock shocks... and our tt bike with dual rate and cut shocks is 49.5 with the same arms... they also have the new style ball joints....
(we have the a arms, steering stem, and a -2 swingarm... couldn't be more pleased with them... they're one of the top companies in my opinion

what sizes does JB a-arms and swingers have?? and prices? do they have +2+1 A-arms? and +2 swingers? the site doesnt show much.

but what do you guys think of Burgard??

If you are looking for Burgard's products you should talk to Mike O at Hellbound Racing 570 402 9000. He always has very good prices on Burgard's products.

i ordered the burgard +2 a-arms and a +2 swinger. i didnt go with the +1 forward, just the +2. here is my next question, im going to order a lonestar axel and they only go to +3 wider than stock so is this ok? im thinking a +3 axel will also put my front and rear width closer to the same. so is the +3 axel alright with +2 arms?

Myself, I would go with the 1 1/4" because of the counter shaft. It matches up perfect with that. Plus I trust Tim Farr's judgement!! I would go with JD Performance stuff. It's unique and they have great customer serrvice!!
Here's some pic's!! Long Travel a-arms +2's and 1 1/4" Swinger:D

Chrome is great!! I had it on my standard travel a-arms for about 9 months.. I ride in the woods mostly and at the track and they still look awesome. I just wanted to go for the all black look this time with my LT! :D

Oh, and I know nothing about Burgard!!
