Alba makes +2 arms for the 400ex that should work.  I don't know anything about them, just what I read when I was shopping.

Can you still get Gibson?  They're some of the coolest looking arms.

what about roll design?  You can usually pick up a nice set pretty reasonable especially if they are 400ex.

Ok thanks do the 400 ex arms fit and handle good with the RITE size spacers ?

I have 400ex roll on mine and they work very well.  I found that lsr bushings would press right into the roll a-arms and be the correct width so no spacers were needed.  I also hated using heim joints on the top a-arms.  So I replaced those with the std ball joint.  250r roll were harder to come by and they were more expensive used.

Gibson only came in a +3 for the gullwing I believe.  Try calling east coast atv... Dave Gibson (who made the gibson arms) runs the show there.  Maybe he can help you out a little more if you want to go that route

Actually gibson made a +1 gullwing setup for xc it looks like.  I stumbled across this when I was shopping for gibsons for my hybrid.  If you're interested I can get you the contact information of the seller who has them.  They are for a 400ex but will work fine with spacers.
