Roll made some for Yokley already, don't know if they're for sale yet though, they'd be long travels.

I think those might have been stock a-arms. All of rolls a-arms are gull wing. They might have just had a roll sticker on them.

I think you're right, looks really wide. I think he ran his Z400 for round two.

I heard something about HERRMANN RACING having some, not sure. Call them.

You could get 4-1 offset rims for right now and narrow it down a little bit. It would be less bump steer also.

Wheel offsets have nothing to do with bumpsteer. I think that you're refering to feed back in the steering.

Jeremy Rice told me JB Racing is working on some XC Arms for him. Shouldn't be too long before they are ready.

I thought bump steer was a for of feedback? And I also thought that 4+1 rims reduced bump steer.

Bumpsteer is caused because the a-arms and the tie rods do not travel in the same arc. When the suspension cycles the toe setting changes. What you are refering to is simply feedback in the steering when you hit ruts or rocks. If you were to draw a straight line through the top of your ball joint and then through the lower ball joint the line should end up hitting the ground right in the center of your tire where it hit the ground. In this case you would have virtually no leverage added to the steering. By running a offset wheel (making the front wider) you add leverage to the steering and you will create more feedback to the steering. By running a inset wheel you would have just the opposite effect.
