@@kurtrichards4816 They work well too, just a little more work to install and set up. I run them on my Raptor. If you get them, we have a video showing how to install them as well.
awesome way to check your toe-in/out. i always did it visually and never thought to do something like this with poles attached to the tires. im kinda stuck between saving a little money/time on getting the legacy arms currently ready and available on ebay, or spending a little more plus lead time on the elite arms with the ball joints instead of the heim joints..
Thanks! I tried it visually, and found that I had to keep adjusting till I got it right. I pretty much get it right the first time this way. As far as Legacy V/S Elite, I have the Legacy on my Raptor because it's a heavier quad, and I felt more comfortable knowing there was plenty of strength, with the extra wall thickness. The Elite use a slightly thinner walled tubing to save a little weight. Laine has them on his YFZ, which is a little lighter, and has had no problems at all with them. Also, the Elite are a little easier to set up than the Legacy, because of the fixed lower arms. But don't be worried about the Heim joints, we have hit some pretty big jumps with hard landings, and they held up fine! They will squeak a little, if you don't spray a little WD40 on them after washing, though.
@@OffroadOutlaws That is great info! Not long after my comment I ended up ordering the legacy arms since it was the last day for free brakelines with any order of legacy arms (saved $79). I did notice that the diameter of the legacy was 1" with the elites at 7/8th inch, which isnt a huge difference, but anything helps. Ill be doing alot of mudding/trail riding so the thicker/stronger arms will be more beneficial for me. Ended up sticking 25" rears on my 350 warrior with a small front sprocket and larger rear sprocket (needed more ground clearance and will help with not getting stuck in the mud. 25" was pushing it on fender rub, but after testing it out they dont touch which is great! As far as the heim joints, I was OK with them when i noticed the rubber boots I could buy separately. I plan to fill the rubber boots with marine grease to keep the heim joints lubed and hopefully keep dirt/debris out. I had read some reviews about the legacy arm heim joints popping off (leading into a crash), but im willing to take the chance with them.
@@Kroxeno Awesome! I think you'll be happy with them. If you keep them lubed up, you shouldn't have any problems. As far as them popping off, I don't see that happening if installed properly. Hope they work out well for you!
@@OffroadOutlaws ok I’m gonna buy a pair of full flights for my 2006 yfz 450 but after I get them on do I have to get something done to my stock shocks for them to fit? I am eventually gonna get long travel shocks I just have to get enough money
@@User12638-x They will still fit, but they will be really soft. You'll need to increase the high and low speed dampening to compensate for the wider a-arms. Stock set-up is not stiff enough without being re-valved. You may want to consider having you shocks reworked before installing the extended a-arms.
@@User12638-x No. Those are set up for wider a-arms from the factory. I don't mind answering questions. I'm happy to help a fellow rider! We should all be kind, and try to help each other. That's the best way to grow the sport!
Awesome bro! I think shipping has been taking a little longer as a result of the Coronavirus mess. They will certainly be worth the wait though! Can't wait to see when you get them on!
@@lilcountry74 They may have had to build, or powdercoat them to order. I think they are under a shutdown order, so there can only be one or two people there at a time. They barely finished the jig set-up before this mess started, but you can message them and ask for an estimated ETA.
Did they discontinued these can’t find them on the website
I don't think so, but I haven't talked to them in a few months. They work well if you can find them!
@@OffroadOutlaws ya all I’m seeing to find is the legacy series

Are those the stock length shocks?
Yes, the length is stock, but they were re-valved to accommodate the extended a-arms.

@@OffroadOutlaws ok thankyou sorry for all the questions but if I bought 450r shocks do you think I would have to revalve those too?
