- Love Them Kaws!
I'm leaning toward a GS arm right now but even those seem to have gone up in price lately and I'm not that crazy about them anyway. I don't want to go all out for a $1000 arm like I did for my MKII. I just need something a little wider.
Any ideas?

I'd consider CM, AL, or even good old steel.

I love the ZRX arms but I'm not sure I could have mods done to the pivot end....I could handle the rest for sure.
You're killing me Les! The pictures aren't showing up! :lol:

very simple mod.
just make a sleeve to go over your axle and into the arm. then trim the arm narrower. its all in my project post.
