Has anyone tried swithing to double A-arm setup trasplanted from a(lets say 400EX or similar) sport quad instead of those heavy struts on their TBlazer,TBoss,Scrambler,Sport?? Would this reduce a lot of the front end weight? Handle better?

Frankly I dont think that there is much benifit to the conversion aside from possibly slightly better handeling. I would only suggest someone who drag races do this, as I don't suspect that this would hold up to hard XC or trail riding. Plus add the cost of the new A-arm's ($350) and a good pair of shocks ($350) this is now a $700 mod with minimal performance gain, and a hell of a lot fabrication!
