Is there any other manufacturers, other then Super ATV, making 1.5” forward offset high clearance a-arms?

But Super ATV makes good products....

L&W arms are decent and can be had for around $250 a pair if you shop around.

Thanks guys, but I'm looking for the 1.5" forward offset to help with the ride and stability of the Honda Talon X. I agree that Super ATV makes a good product but they want $340.00 for 2 heavy duty ball joints, seems crazy. Has anyone had issues with the Honda standard ball joints? I just wanted to see if there are any other options out there so I can compare and choose.
Thanks

Aren't the X stretch arms just R length stuff?

That's a great question, does anyone have the answer?

Hey buddy. Its $323.95 for all 4 HD 4340 Chromoly ball joints and $385.95 for all 4 300M ball joints. The A-arm kit with the HD ball joints already pressed in is $789.95. Not sure if you checked a different website for that price, but wanted to clarify for you just in case.

No, the SuperATV arms are not stretched, they are swept forward 1.5". They extend the wheelbase to accommodate larger tires but do not widen the width.

Talon ball joints are not your typical SXS parts. There are many machines out there with over 10,000 miles and HondaBob has 20,000 (not gentle) miles and he is still on original joints.

I've only seen reports of a couple broken ball joints due to accidents. I broke a knuckle when I flipped mine and the ball joints were fine. I would say the stock ball joints are not the weak link in the front end.

I absolutely agree, the stock ball joints are fine for 99.999% of the Talon owners. The exception would be the portal guys with big ass tractor tires........ They are a special bunch. 😁

My ball joints are stock, take a beating and are tight. Hess ran an entire race season last year with stock ball joints and had zero problems.

Found my pics, ball joint was most definitely not the weak link on my machine...
