I'm not sure if i could afford it either...i would have to buy new shocks too..

I don't think Walsh has ever made any arm that uses 16" shocks for the Cannondale. I think you should look at Eyeball Engineering or ASR if all you want is a +2 and for 16" shocks. Those are the only guys in town for that one. The options for 16" shocks and going much wider is very limited.

Wanna bet a dollar that you can't call Walsh and order a set of those tomorrow?

Lonestar can get you a set of +3 in standard travel, as well as +2 and +1

This is from Dana's website...

"Walsh Race Craft A-arm MX

A-Arm MX WITHOUT TIE-RODS The most advanced front end on the market, tested for years and developed by top Pros including Mike Walsh, Doug Gust, Dana Creech, Tim Farr, Shane Hitt, Joe Byrd and more. *NEW* Standard length shock styles have redesigned tube structure with increased ground clearance. Spherical bearing with hardened 4130 stud. Heim Joint at all Chassis mounting locations . Adjustable from stock location to +1 forward. Available for stock length or long travel shocks. Complete with Tie-Rods and Walsh Tie-Rod Ends, with hardware installed and ready to mount.

available in +2 +3 or +4 sizes."

So i believe when he is saying "stock length" means standard travel right? So i can use my 16" elka's?

With tie-rods and ends $1,100
Without tie-rods and ends $900

Hit Jaybr up, he has some diamond arms for sale cheap. You can buy them, and then save some money or sell your frontend and buy some shocks.
