We don't rebrand anything. Thanks for more good info. Please tell me 1 product we rebrand. Do you know what rebrand means I think you might be confused? We design products and our mfg makes them. We do not make them in house. That is not rebranding. We are not selling someone elses existing product with our name on it.
Chromemolly Blaster A- Arm Kit
- Thread starter rich1
- Start date
BTW This is straight from the donkeys mouth posted on another site. You can clearly see by what he wrote that they do not build anything. Hell they don't even test fit them before they have them made??? Have to go to forums or craigslist to find a donor bike.
These are now in stock. $325 shipped to cont US for you forum guys.
We have received our standard travel a-arms. We are looking for a Banshee to test fit them to make sure they fit properly. We are hoping to find someone local with a banshee in good condition. I figured id try this before I put a add on craigs list. We will need your banshee for 1 week so we can install the arms. We are looking to cover our cost which is about $250. These are +2+1 standard travel with adjustable camber and castor. Full chromoly construction with chromoly tierods. We are going to be offering these for sale shortly.

You can sit behind your computer all you want and call it designing them. Your company is not building them. Usually a company will have an atv to build and test off of. Not go to forums or craigslist. Keep digging.
NO NO NO They don't re brand anything!!!
Tusk was offered by rocky mountain atv way before alba was offering them. No rebranding. lol

One again bs from dual stroke. No we dont build our blaster arms but we designed them. We test fit everything how else would design it. We then retest our first production batch which when we receive it to ensure it fits properly. So ya I looked for one on craigs list and a forum to find a donor to test fit them to make sure it was made properly. The owners are stoked as we typically hook them up when we use their bikes. Sorry I don't have a fleet of vehicles at my disposal like you must.
We sold those style nerf bars the same time rocky mountain did and used to purchase them from the same mfg. We also built many of the prototypes and sell them for many quads they don't even offer them for as we designed them do some research. More bs. I gotta get get outa here I feel like a child arguing with you. Please stop making up BS about our products.
Im on neither side here, just a quick ponder i guess u could say.... If i was building many parts fabbed for a typical vehicle. Id own one, its a company write off. And can be found for not a whole lot compared to what u can build while looking at it n playing with it. Its how i make all my parts... 1st i buy it, u need it to design off of anyway, than i tinker, than prototype, tinker again, protype again, test.... Test.... Test... run a small batch, test the waters, go full out. What $2,000 for a bike that you can fab a few parts off of that make lots of return green? I usually have 4 diff bikes, n GIVE parts away for free in return for pics, feedback, getting them out there, not have someone "TRUST" me with their bike for a week n charge them a lil above cost or even cost...
Just saying... I was caught off guard when i saw u dont even own a banshee, how the F*_K could u fab n design parts?

Easy when 99% of our banshee parts were designed we had many banshees. That was 10-20 years ago. They did not just come out with a banshee or blaster for that matter. These days our shop is full of RZR's as that is where the market has gone. We use solid works for design. That means it is designed rite the first time as you cant beat a computer as it shows all flaws. We are not welding grinding cutting and constantly modifying. There is no need for tinkering if you have a computer design it for you. Our prototypes are always perfect. Our tubes are all cnc bent and most of our parts are welded by machines. We still check just in case.
You copy the stock ones, and PC them chrome and call them chrome xD
You are excused at any time patrick, i dont see why you care about 5 peoples opinions on a small forum when you sell tons elsewhere
Hey patrick. Looks like little ol dualstroke might just know a thing or two. I called inferior parts and parts wearing out not even 3 months ago. Have a read.

I own a set of the a arms in question here, let me clear a few things up.
The only mod I did that I feel like you NEED to do, and should be included in the kit, is the last one on the pinch adapter.
Also some instructions for our less knowledgeable riders might be nice explaining assembly, and use of thread locker in key spots (pinch bolt adapters).
Overall though, for the price I feel like you can't beat this deal. Especially if you ride tight trail like I do and don't want +3 arms.
Also these a arms do move your tires forward 1" also, for some reason they don't advertise that
As for that kids pinch bolt adapter that wore out. Has anyone actually held this worn out piece in their hand and seen that it is made of aluminum? Stuck a magnet to it maybe? I've seen one picture of it and you cant tell what material its made of from there. It very well could have been installed wrong, and that is why these things need some instructions with them, and a locking mechanism for the pinch adapter such as a bolt from the bottom.
Otherwise this thread seems like a flame war between someone trying to defend his product against a group of people that jumped on the hate train that started out with bad info. Just sayin.....
- You do not have to modify your spindles or get warrior / banshee spindles.
- the pinch bolt adapters are definitely steel, not aluminum

You are correct. I would put my life on the line running these foreign a-arms and the so called modifications you made. It's worth it to save a few $ right? The spacer material was already cleared that they are steel. Pic was posted of a junk spacer. How can it be the installers fault,he had no direcions. No instructions manual. Paper must be expensive.. As you said "The only mod I did that I feel like you NEED to do, and should be included in the kit, is the last one on the pinch adapter". Nothing better than having to mod a set of BRAND NEW a-arms right? Also no where in your thread have I seen you post a ride report. But they must ride really really well, Like $200 well!!! I don't care what anyone says. I have owned and ridden most sets of a-arms on the market. These a-arms are junk!!! Pics proved it!! You proved it by having to make modifications and confirming there is no instructions. Now go ride that blaster and roll it as good as you did at busco a few years back and tell me if the a-arms survive that.......I own a set of the a arms in question here, let me clear a few things up.
I chose to make a few modifications to mine. Grease fittings, plastic bushings to accomodate grease fittings, and putting a bolt in from the underside of the pinch bolt adapter to lock the ball joint in place.

First.... that wasn't me that crashed at busco, that was my buddy Hal. And he had some leagars and they did survive that. But I wasn't about to spend $500-700 on a arms for a quad that isn't worth $1200. Leagers are a great product, but a great price comes with it. I'm not saying the Alba arms are great, I'm just saying its a good deal... IF you make the modification I stated, which is a bolt you tighten in an already threaded hole, not rocket science.Without this bolt I wouldn't use them. I rolled the dice when i bought them. I knew they were cheap, and I found the flaws in them and fixed it. Besides the pinch bolt adapter they are well constructed. I have no reservations about using them.
Second.... you need to stop by walgreens and get you a Summers Eve douche and get that sand out of there asap. Although if you leave it long enough you might start making a pearl.
