Well,
I sold my dirtbike and now have money to spend on my Mojave. I am trying to decide between the FST 330cc kit and New A-arms/suspension. I saw that Mojaveaddict made his own, and I think thats awsome, but I know I would not be able to do that. I can get wheelspacers for the rear for now, until I would have enough to buy an axle.
My question: What choices do I have for A-arms??? I checked Idahoatv.com but don't see anything about the Mojave. Also, I don't want only one place to choose from. I want to be able to choose, so please help me out! Thanks in advance.

Go to www.hsdracing.com. He will custom make a-arms for you and he quoted me 524.95 with tierods and this was for +1+1forward. If you want to talk to idaho atv you can e-mail him at motovert@idahoatv.com. I think idaho's a-arms for almost $700 though.

I looked on www.dirt-deals.com and searched for Mojave. Only thing that came up was a piston kit. Anything I'm doing wrong?

As some of you might know, IdahoATV's a-arms for the Mojave are about the same price of Lonestar and Laeger. I have the prototypes of what should be the production units. Mike at IdahoATV is working on getting the production peices mass produced. The welding will be done by hand. Also, Mike is looking for a retail shop to house the showroom and iventory. These are going to be sweet units when they are released. If you get tired of waiting, I can understand. Good things come to those who waits!!!!!

Well, $700 seems a bit expensive, considering that I still need shocks too. I want to start racing, but I am going to wait until next year when I'm 16. Any cheaper solutions?

spacers are about 70 bucks a set, and if ya turn the rims around in the front they are about 1/2 wider in front than in back.........

i got 3 inch total in the front and turning the wheels around totaled about 8, 5 inch total in the back and 11 inch wide razors.........

i just rode a stock mojave for the first time in bout 3 months yesterday, the difference is incredible

altho i have heard if you do alot of jumping it will bend the axle......

don't no about that since my record jump now is probably 3 ft (when i got my mo off the showroom for last spring........the 3rd day i jumped my buddies jeep..........jump was gr8, the 2 weeks in the hospital for my back wasn't)

I have 11" wide Razrs in the rear, and I know about the wheel spacers. But, I want something that will improve the steering, not make it harder to turn. Also, the spacers puts more stress on the spindles and hubs. But I might just go for the spacers and Works shocks. One more, anyone know if the ATC 250r rear shock will fit on the Mojave? There are a couple on E-bay and I want to know if I should bid.
