Got a set of these arms , Metal Tech did a great job on them, They are set to use Honda 450R front length shocks, OK here is the question, anyone had any binding issues? I went to PEP today and Wayne said "HOLLYCHIT" this is gonna cost you for custom set up.
So now I have to bring the quad in with the A arms and see if we can use the Honda 450 shocks are have to do what Pitsandcars did, complete custom made shocks $$$$$$ .
His concerns are my weight (Extra H/D) Geometry, Ball Joint Binding, And Tie Rod movement, PEP (Wayne) is the best in the industry, but I was just curious if anyone else had any issue, heck there may be non at all just roll it in and let him do his Voodoo on the front and rear shocks I say
From my experience Wayne is a bit old and cantankerous.
I called to ask him about moving the upper shock mounts and using a YFZ 450 shock and he just about had a heart attack telling me it would never work. I went ahead and did it anyway and 2 years later the set up is still working great.
He does not like to do anything out of the normal from y experience.
Let us know how it turns out.

Yeah that about sound like Wayne to a T, You have to respect Wayne, he was believe or not involved in the LT500 suspension back in 85, well this is what he told me.
Wayne (PEP) really seams to know his S**T and has A LOT of experience with the LT's. I had him revalve and respring my stock shocks many years ago and it was so much better. As Im much older and heavier now I had him build me up new shocks with front rezzie's. Cant wait to get the quad back together. The only issue I have with Wayne is his turn around time. Racers are his priority. It took 3 months to get my shocks but they sure are perdy.
Mitch, I'm planning on doing this same set-up, what did you guy's end up coming up with? Did you end up having any issues? I'm more curious about how things went with Wayne, I don't want to end up trying to persuade him that it'll work on my set-up.......
Could you post up a pic of these arms please? Also did you relocate your shock tabs?
