If you will send me your address, I will send you a new part to replace the one that is defective, no problem....We stand behind our product 100% so if you need a new adjuster let me know right away and I will make sure it gets sent out to you....

I just ordered a Evil arm today .. Maybe next year i'll get a card They had a 100.00 off sale a while back but i missed out on that deal That 100 off sure would have helped .. Brent ( Bently ) said they are nice arms so i'm giving one a shot ... Last two Arms came from Mac and they were very very nice ..

Ya I did before I bought, lot of guys going really fast with them. ever bit as good as the adams arm I had once. So they had some adjuster trouble at the very start and it's fixed. My arm must have 300 passes on it and 200 of them are 60 foots in the 1.30's. So what was wrong with the one you had Wee?

it holds my 835lb ass at 12 over with 280rwhp for 2 years with 1000's of passes . but them new zx14r's are just to powerfull .
but i did have a adjuster break on 1st install and had to clean (grind) powder coating out of the bearing holes to get the bearings to fit..
i also think you need a special bottle bracket to mount a bottle .. the air tank has never leaked .
it been nice to be able to put stand spools on option or not IDK..

I told smokin about cleaning the bearing holes up, which to me is no biggie. And like I said the adjusters are fixed now with no issues. But wee likes slamming products he don't use it's not the first time.

Here is the deal guys , if the arm is good i'll post about it and if it's bad i'll post about that also.. You know me , one thing i hate is getting fucked over by crappy parts and crappy parts builders ..

I've heard nothing but good things about Evil Arms also. Seems they are building a very strong reputation.

Did a quick search for old threads on Evil swingarms.
http://www.bikeland.org/board/viewthread.php?FID=27&TID=59781
1badzx12r: “but you won't like their warranty .. case in point i purchased 1 and got it .had to custom it to installed it . everything great after i drill collar to get bearings to fit into collar .. they powder coated inside of pivit collar . put tire on .. tighten adjustment bolts and break the adjustment bolt off the 3 hole adjuster's that i paid extra for as an up grade while BACKING A THE NUT OFF . Reason they drilled a hole in the bolt an installed a roll pin to keep the stud from backing out when backing the self locking nut off . then they wanted me to take pictures ..send them pics then send part and wait until they sent me the replacement .. i don't like having my bike down for 2 weeks while a parts is changed out ..i think its bullshitt .. so i ended up having to fix it myself ..so if you guys think them extension adjustment bolts are cheap crap and bend easy .. wait till you by these with holes and roll pins installed in them .. but as far as the arm itself with under bracing great stuff for the price ..”
01smokes: “Ya 600 starting than add 50 for the 3 hole adjuster, 25 for shipping, 100 for bearings, 50 for chain guard and 45 for bottle bracket and so on. I did it all and it sucked but I got what I wanted. If I were to do it over again I might have called up Adams and got one of there's”
http://www.bikeland.org/board/viewthread.php?FID=27&TID=60782
Bently: “How does the bushings go in the front and do you re use the rubber stock seals. seems like to me no matter how I put the parts up there it shoves the arm to far to the chain side.”
1badzx12r: “i can't remember did that a year ago . only thing i remember on that part was the bushings was to tight for the pivot shaft to slide in ..”
http://www.bikeland.org/board/viewthread.php?FID=27&TID=61361
Gilberjj: Too much to copy. Just read it for yourself…………………..
There are other threads here and on other boards. I have never owned an Evil arm, and never will, based on the comments in the above threads and others. I tend to believe the statistics that say for each complaint about a product, there are 9 more that go unsaid.
Maybe they have their act together now, and I know that there are people that love the arms.
We’ll see what Smokin has to say about his.

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.

My are was really nice once all said and done. As I'm sure others are as well. I'll be ordering another arm from them when I decide I don't want to race SWB anymore.
The arm I had was a 6-10" over for my genII booza. It held up to some 1.32 60' no problem and I had LOTS of passes on that bike.


Here is a pic of the other one I have on the 1000. I didn't put this one on I bought the bike with the arm on already but it's a evil arm
