need opinions on after market frames. Thinking of ditching my stocker(or gusseting the life out of it) trying to find out which ones the best for the money.
which has the best fit and finish, what type of rear is best for xc racing(stock, cr500, no-link) i also do a little bit of mx but mainly xc. And most importantly which holds up best tired of frame cracks especially if i fork out money to have it pc'd again. or will the stocker hold up if gusseted? thanks for the help

I think Laeger is the best..IMO

I recently swapped out an 88 stock frame for an 03 Arens. I was not impressed with the fit of several items. The reason I went with Arens was to get stock type peg mounts and a stock link rear. Many of the LSR and laeger frames are pro-pegs, no-links, and/or CR500.

i'd like to keep my ims pegs but thats not that big a deal. thats what im trying to figure out if im racing xc is the no link good or should i find a cr500 set up, or should i stay stock? what are the advantages/ disadvantages? read a prev. thred about the 500 link didn't help my desicion much. does anyone have any xc experiances with aftermarket frame set ups. what works best? thanks guys keep the imfo comin
