I mean like 500-600 range, like the albas or ricky stator, neither of them have +1, and they are both camber adjustable.

Janssen racing has some, but they are +1 +1, I don't want the front tires an inch forward since I run a stock swing arm.

I'm pretty sure ASR and LSR along with Roll and a half dozen others have +1 arms. Ricky stator and Alba aren't real big on a-arms, they both started offering them just a short time ago and Ricky stator originally offered only stock sized uppers.

When I bought my +1s up 1s last year I could not find Lonestar or ASR +1s. The only companies I found are Houser and Burgard....I bought mine from the latter. Houser is just way too expensive. I think I paid $565 for mine with a custom black powder coat. I have a stock length swingarm too and I still think the up 1 a-arm adds a lot of stability. Go to burgardcycle.com

Lonestar lists +1, +2, and +3 a arms right at the top of their raptor product page.
ASR only lists +2/+1 and +3/+1 arms on their web page.
According to some distributors, Leager will make them as long as you like.

Thats 2 minutes of google searches for the companies off the top of my head. They are out there.

But he's looking to spend $500-$600. Those Lonestars are $760. Custom made Leagers will be more.

He'd also like them fully adjustable for that price too. I'd like a new well-made swingarm under 14 pounds chromed with bearing carrier for 400 bucks but I'm not going to get it. If he goes steel he will be able to get it, but most companies that take the time to make multiple lengths aren't going to do it with 3 different types of metal so they drop the cheap end. So while your cheap options are limited, there are still options.

oops, thought it was a different member above. Thanks ofc.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
