Those look like full flight arms. That picture looks like austinw's bike. Did you buy those arms off eBay? I know he had them listed a while back on eBay.

That's Austin's bike.  I like those arms too. I like the heim joints at the frame

look like my full flights, but just send austin a pm

most guys dont like them cause of the helm joints, they say mud and sand wear them out fast
life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sidays totally worn out shouting "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE!"

You can get seals for the heim joints so mud and sand won't wear them out as fast. The heim joints should also be replaceable so if they wear out you don't need new arms just new joints like bearings wearing out.

Is Austin a member on this forum? I'd like to know what bike these arms were for cause I can't find that brand of arms for a lt500.

They are full flight a-arms. They don't make lt500 arms anymore though. And I'm pretty sure austin sold them on eBay last year.

You're better off going with a pair of metal techs or fireball racing

I'm still working with shawn at Proformance, he will be building jigs for 250 and 500 a-arms and swingarms. Any length, width and eventually long travel. Just getting my old 250 and 500 torn down to send him parts to build from. Eventually steering stems and other parts will be availible. He's excited to help us and has owned quadracers in the past, Aaron40 has one of his swingers on the 1100 project.

Garret you need to talk to him about a group buy as soon as he gets fixtures made he may like the idea of making 5 sets of arms or more at once and may give us all a break. Lance at slc gave us a break when 5 of us got swingers last year and so did mod quad for carriers. I may be in for a set of arms for my 500
