Let's say I have a moto. If I wanted to put aftermarket a-arms on would I buy +3 or +2 a-arms? I need to know because the shocks will be set for the stock moto front end!

Either one will work fine.

I'm sure you'll get different answers for this question, but here goes. I did the same thing. I went from stock Moto's (2.5) to Walsh +3's. Although it took me about a week of trial and error, I did get the Moto Ohlins to work. You have to stiffen them up quite a bit and play with all the other adjustments too. It was definetely worth it though. Don't forget that you must go to a 4/1 offset front wheel too. (with +3)

So what your trying to say is that if I put +3 a-arms on I won't have any problems with my suspension?

It depends on the arms you get.

Moto Ohlins are 19"

Houser LT arms are setup for 19.5" shocks

I put a set of Houser +1 LT arms on my Speed and the frontend was way low with my moto shocks. I made alot of adjustments and got them to work, but they just weren't up to par. I ended up getting a set of Elka's for it.

I have a moto frontend on my other quad and love the Ohlins.
