  1. I would agree with this possibility.

    On my Laeger my right side silencer will contact the caliper.

    I had to install a 1/2" spacer on both silencers to angle them outward to create the clearance and a uniform look.


    There's a guy local to me that has a laeger frame and did some desert racing. He ran FMF pipes and his story was that he would damage those silencers pretty often.

  2. The Elka linkage is the variable that doesn't work out. Most swing arms barely allow a cunt hair of wiggle room on install. Then add the linkage that one out of every few thousand banshee riders have, and it's a toss up. If you're serious about developing your own linkage, this should be one of your top concerns. 


    I think Elka did the best they could with the linkage and anything better would require modifying the upper shock mount. I also think adding more travel than this will make the silencers start kissing the caliper.

  3. Fireball is supposed to be the shit and they send swingarms that doesnt fit??
     
     


    Can't pin this on fireball at all. We're slapping aftermarket parts together from different company's that don't test on each other's part. They're 2 variables here which is the fireball swingarm that's is pretty much bomb proof built and has that extra bracing at tube. The other is the Elka link which relocates the shock closer to the swing arm which that's it's full function.

    These 2 parts together pretty much closed what ever gap there was between them and cause clearance issues but not either manufactures fault!

    I had the same issues with my LSR arm but decided to make a solution myself by notching the swing arm.

  4. Lol this just happened to me! Same exact problem. Call them up and tell them about it. They will take care of you. I had the top mounted first and the bottom wouldn't fit. But either way it doesnt fit. Are you running a long travel link and Elka lt shock? That added gusset doesn't work that they have on there 04243b8235f9326d044e7c4ecfbd849c.jpg
