I was thinking about building some custom A-Arms and swing arms and what not after I get my little shop done as I've been considering purchasing a welder. Shouldn't be hard to beat the prices that are out there right now lol.

the hardest part i found with making a arms is making the outer cut since its at such a great angle

personally I like the look of a crossbar on my handlebars, and it makes me "think" they are stronger

me too, I need new ones but don't have the 80 plus shipping of the ball joints. I've never run a hiem joint but was told by you guys before they will last as long as you spray them with some wd40 every ride

yea but i dont ever get in a situation of flipping it. i have $20 moose on now and had them on my old dirt bike and wrecked quite a few time and layed my quad over 1 unloading it without ramps. and they are perfectly straight. i like the fat bar look without it and 2" risers.
