I jast had a nasty crash, i got out whithout even a scrach, but the ds bent the left tie rod, uper a arm and shaterd the headlight, but i have insurance so its not so bad.
My question is this, are aftermarket a uper a arms worth the mony, or shuld i jast let my insurance pay for a stock one?

by the way, that roll bar of mine jast about saved my life, according to a friend of mine that saw the hole thing.

 

Glad to hear you're okay after your crash.

As far as parts prices, I had to replace a lower a-arm and upper arm so far and both run about $80 each in the US without the bushings or ball joint. The tie rod is sold as an assembly only from Bombardier and runs about $70, so it includes the two ends and the tie rod. I've heard the headlight runs about $120, but don't know for sure.

I've thought about spending the $$ on aftermarket arms, but don't want to spend all that money just yet. Someone else will have to let you know if they are worth it.

 

thanks, and i ment jast after market uper a arms, not the hole asembly, and i know all the prices, but thanks any way.

 

Three weeks ago i mustered up the courage to jump my bomb,it was great untill the 4th or 5th time i landed front first and my hand ripped off the bar and the bars tried to pierce my ribs.I heard a crack and thought ,oh **** that cant be good,after i caught my breath i stretched my chestout and i was ok,2 days later is when the pain came.It was the most painful thing that ever happened to me in my 36 years of accidents.The doctor said its only bruised and i missed 4 days work.Its almost better now and i cant wait to go riding again,my kids are crawling the walls missing three weeks riding.

p.s. i now am the proud owner of a chest protecter,he [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

yes uppers are worth every penny.

 

Yes, I am all to familiar with the pain of bruised ribs. Im still nursing mine after 3 weeks as well. My DS was on top of me. Ouch!!

Yes they are worth it. Best money I ever spent. You will NOT regret it.

 

Hey Eagle Collector,where did you buy all those upgrades for your ds.I have been looking around on the web,but cant find a timmy boy dealer,only info without ordering info.

 

Do they correct the ds's handeling problems? and who makes the best and where can i get it from?

thanks

 

Never mind, it turns out it was the lower a arm that got dameged, not the uper one, but thanks eny way.

p.s.- it turns out that the roll bar idea of our DMV was'nt such a bad idea.... but it was'nt sach a good idea ether!

see ya!
