Ronnies mail order trailing arms opinions


Yep, I have heard and seen enough horror stories about the kimpex aftermarket ones bending and failing on non extreme use. So when I needed on this year, I made sure to get a factory Yamaha one. I saved money anyways as I got a nice clean factory 2000 phaser trailing arm for $50.
 
Maybe share a link of what your looking at? The only trailing arms I could find at the only Ronnies mail order I could find are OEM Yamaha (with out decal) Seems a little STEEP to me @ $226 (plus shipping I imagine) For that kind of money I think you could find some good quality aftermarket ones. Agree with the $80-100 aftermarket ones are JUNK!
 
I did extensive research on trailing arms before deciding what to do when I put viper trailing arms on my MM. All aftermarket ones are junk, and it truly is you get what you pay for. I ended up getting stock viper arms and paid $300 for them used, but with all the hardware on them. Now if you buy a brand new one you will need the bolt bushing and have it pressed in and the spindle bushings and metal washer for the bottom, that's another $15-20 for some oem parts to throw on it before its ready. I discovered ronnies this fall and have been very pleased with their service. Anything from yamaha is 3-4 days to them as long as the regional distributor has it. I got my chain case parts from them when I geared down and needed a shorter chain last month and to rebuild the tensioner because the bearing was shot and the roller egg'd.

The light weight ones like fabcrafts, mpi and alternative impact are cro-mo but the cost far exceeds what oem is even brand new. If you need a trailing arm, I'm in mass and have my old set still.
