I love my McIntosh arm, top notch. 2 to 8 over with 6" blocks, underbraced, and bottle holder. fit was awesome and Terry is a great person to work with.

Wee.....You 100% sure it was a Coby Adams arm that was defective???
I saw a copy cat no name Chromemoly arm bend like a pretzle because the rider / mechanic had the axle nut loose and the rear axle moved when the guy launched.....It was kind of comical because every one thought it was a coby arm and when it was found out who really made the arm everyone didnt want the guys rep to be destroyed so it was hushed up.....
All Im saying is I have faith in an unbraced BRAND name swingarm!!!!!
LIKE : Coby Adams...MacIntosh...Trac...DME...

OUCH is right...... That's outrageous. Why not just stay at 9 over and run .1 slower?

Sometimes, 9.01 is not quick enough, if ya wanta run 8's.
Sometimes, ya wanta run an 8.90 index.
How do I know these things? It's a gift ..............

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
