Laz at GTT just came out with some arms for it. There's somobody on this site that has them, and seems real happy with them. I'm sure he'll be chiming in soon.

I like the quality and functionality of the ATV four play arms. We sell them and use them on our race team atv's

How about some Houser Racing A-arms. They don't re-use the lower factory bearings, so you can bolt them right on.

The holz A-arms are some of the best you can get, We put there long travel ones on all of our MX bikes and the couple of cross country guys we have run there XC setup and love it.

I agree I'am a rider for Holz racing he has been building my bikes last three years and does amazing work. running his front end with fox floats its hard to beat. Joe Bryd Adam Mcgill Josh Fredericks Brandon Brown Mike Machado are some guys that have used Holz or are still running him also Holz is doing all the suspension for the Can-Am / Motoworks team this year in WORCS.

Your Dad told me about the 3rd place and some issues you had. Sorry to hear that .

Kids done OK. Brandon was headed for the podium, but apparently a quad ran into him and caused him to get stuck on the main course and caused some congestion,it cost him some serious time so he ended up with a 4th.Brandon broke down in Race 1 and got a DNF-thats gonna HURT!

Kelsey also took a 4th .
Tough to contend an 85 with 125 motors in the same class.Out team leader saved the day and fixed an issue we ran into on hers also.
Shes moving to a 450 in Womens class next year and I cant WAIT. lol

Ill see you in Havasu.

Ya, I think thats what I'll be running. Or maybe a walsh/fox setup idk yet. And are you from sciota PA? That's my english teacher's hometown. Her family still lives there and I guess they have alot of land. She talked about it for an entire period once.

I am pretty sure he said he was racing pro-am, we were listening in on his conversation with Justin Bush.
