Long Travel A-Arms Raptor 660

• Add to quote

I have a 02 Raptor and I live in the Desert in Southern California. I want to start racing in the baja desert races and I want to upgrade my suspension. I have been looking for long travel a-arms but I don't seem to see too many companies offer them. I have talked to different companies but I think that the junk they tell me about their suspensions is just to try to get me to buy theirs. I have been told that the stock travel is about 8 inches. If I get a plus 2 up 1 set up with a stock height shock, my travel can increase by about two inches. But if I get long travel my travel can increase by about 3-4 inches over stock. Does anyone have an upgraded suspension? If so, what do you have? Do you know who sells long travel for the raptor 660? Who is a good brand to go with? What kind of travel increases were gained? ETC.......  

There area some comapnies out there just have to look around a bit. I haven't seen any set-ups in person other than the socalfabshop.com set-up with kings which looks sick :rock: . I am thinking about going with herrmannracing.com long travel arms but want to see a picture on a raptor first. Their TRX and YFZ450 arms looks sweet tho so im sure the raptor will be similar. Other can chime in and share pics if they have them.  

At the wheel, you will gain a little additional travel with +2 arms, but I am not sure you will get 2 inches of travel out of them. But with LT, you will go up to 12" of travel in the front end, regardless of what company you go with. As far as companies, there are several out there... Lonestar, Houser, Roll Design, Janssen Racing, gibson, etc. You just have to look. Hope that helps some... :tup: Ps. Also, when I added aftermarket shocks to my Raptor, it added a little travel to the bike also, without longer arms. I am not sure how much, but I would say around 1 1/2 to 2" off hand. Just FYI for another way of getting additional travel.  

i have non long travel +3's from Legacy atv and they are awesome. i have seen several sets of the long travels. i would HIGHLY recommend them. i hate to buy something and its crap. these arms are great  

Thanks fellas for the info. After doing some additional research I decided to spend the extra money and go for the long travel. After all, if I am going to race I will have to stay on top! I will post some pictures in a couple of months. THANKS!

A-arms - Long travel or no?

• Add to quote

Sometime this year I'm planning on going with +2 Houser arms. I ride mostly trails. Is there an advantage to going with long travel arms and shocks or just stick with the regular +2 arms?  

Long travel is more suited for big jumps and high speed whoops. For trails, standard length shocks are fine, just set the suspension sag correctly on either.  

Ok so regular +2 arms and shocks for me. Next question: +3 axle make sense as well? Worth the upgrade? Last question: Once going to +2 arms and maybe +3 axle, other than longer brake lines, what else do I need to modify? Thanks!  

+3" overall on the axle is fine, as that keeps the front 1" wider overall. Do not make the rear as wide or wider than the front, or it will negatively effect turning and overall handling. Make sure suspension sag is correct front and rear. One directly effects the other. And, if the chain is too tight, it'll limit rear shock travel and throw off front And rear suspension. Having Jocaga Suspension respring and/or revalve all 3 shocks for Your weight and riding style is the best handling upgrade you can do to it too. Otherwise, you don't need any other parts than A-arms with longer lines and the axle itself. New rear bearings are a good idea with a new axle though.  

Interesting a Interesting point about the rear end being wider than the front. Is there advantage at all to widening the rear any amount? Or just stick with the wider front end and leave the back end stock?  

I’ve been running a tusk extended axle on my raptor for years now with tons of ride time. It’s adjusted as wide as it can go, and the front is bone stock width. I’ve never had any issues with handling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk  

It is definately noticeable in high speed cornering and drifts. They are much more stable with the front wider than the rear. Not to say it can't be ridden hard with the rear wider, but it's not as capable.

ASR +3+1 Long Travel A-Arms

• Add to quote

Nice!!!!! - Frank  

those are some nice looking arms! I've thought about getting an ASR swinger...  

i have some asr +2+1 and i like em except for the fact that they have heim joints instead of ball joints. very tough arms though.  

I love my +2+1's from them. and I got the best heims they had, and couldn't be happier. I've used the warrenty several times. Excellent folks to work with.  

DAAAAAM  

This is what I am lookin for! Are the going to start putting this into production? If so I am all over it! What do i got to do to get a set. Been looking for a arm like this for sometime now and contacted a few companies but none of them would step to the plate and make them. Except for these guys now and I want them!  

dude, hahaha its a company is circleville, colorado i think, its called AMERICAN STAR RACING http://www.amstarmanufacturing.com/  

tomorrow im gonna go test it out, i'll have a buddy tape it so you guys can see it  

Thanks man. Pleas epost that vid and let me know how they work!  

mmmmmm i dont think i'll go riding anytime soon check this out http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USCA0150_f.html if i do go out it must be like at 6am because of the damn heat  

You get a test ride in yet?  

i did, 5th gear full throttle through a 50 yard section of whoops, maybe longer......i really recommend these with a set of elka elites or axis shocks  

Sweet! Now hmm what to do mod the truck or the qaud? the qaud!  

the first number is the extra width and the second number is how far it bring the wheels closer to the rider so +2+1 would be 2 inches wider and 1 inch closer  

thanks for the info  

my mistake the second number is how farther the wheeles will be from the rider not the closer  

+2+1 +2 added width +1 added length or how far forward
