I just installed a new set of American Star +2+1 a-arms on my Raptor. They're the ones with the Heim joints instead of ball joints. I took it for a spin today on some decent trails. WOW! That's all I could think and say. This thing flies! I knew she had alot of power but I wasn't able to use it all until now. I have some extended Fastline steel braided brake lines on order. Next weekend I'm gonna race it for the first time. My wife and my 4 year old son are gonna race as well. It's a benefit for the NYPD and WTC victims. Anyways, this thing kicks some serious butt! It handles way better. And, it seems I can use the power alot easier. I would recommend this setup to everyone. I have some aftermarket Fox shocks for now. Eventually, I'd like to get some Elkas or TCS's. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Sounds cool, about how much did that setup cost you?

I won the set on e-bay and only paid $400 for the setup. They were a little tricky to set up. There was alot of adjusting to make em' right. I won't go back to the stockers. They're on e-bay right now. Like I said, I need to get some Elkas or TCS's and I'll be one really happy camper. Oh, I also have a stock swingarm that is in the shop that is going to be extended 2 inches. I hope that's not too much. If it is, I'll just sell it. Or, just keep it for the dunes. Anyone have a +2 swingarm and +2+1 a-arms?
