Hi everybody, I'm new to the forum. I'm going to get a +4 swingarm for my 02 baja and was wondering if I should go with the Ace or the American Star Swingarm.
Both look really well built, any help is greatly appreciated.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

due to the location of the rear shock mount on the Ace, you will see that it raises the back of your bike 2" or more- I personally don't like this and is the only reason I won't order another one- everything else is fine with the arm.

 

I love the Ace and I just softened the shock a little more. I have 3 and really like them. Not fimilar with the other

 

I run the ace and didnt notice the raising problem. It has held up real well to alot of drag racing. Haven't used any american star stuff.

 

What are you planning to do with this bike after you install the swingarm?

 

I've installed 2 ace arms, one was a +6 the other a +8 , maybe the problem is more noticiable on the longer arms??

 

cleatis24 i found out this summer that american star "asr" are not making swingarm for the ds anymore. so i went with a on-dunes swingarm.

 

Dave watch out your pushing junk LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Jeff @ metal tech makes a realy sweet arm too....he's in mesa arizona and its priced right.... Quality with a good price... ;Q

 

I've got the +8 on dunes junk. Love it. Perfect fit, bikes just the right height. Needed it shipped next day and Ron drove 2 hours round trip to get it to me (thanks). Kinda wish I would have gone with the lightweight one though.

Bomber, got any junk lightweight +8's that your just going to throw away?
