SAVAGE420 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Well the 450 shocks will fit if that's what you have. When I was throwing the arms on a while back I had a set of 450 shocks that I bolted on just to see whats up. It will just sit a bit lower but rideable no doubt if thats all you have to work with for now. Here is one of the pics of one installed when messing around in the shop. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c164/savage_420/DSC00150.jpg I run some 18" Gen 2 Fox Float X Evols with these arms as I said above. Love them. One thing I found with these floats, is that take your time and set them up right. Write down what settings you set the hi and low comp and rebound and especially how much pressure you put in the main air chambers and evol chambers. I've played with the air pressures, hi/low comp and rebound a shit ton now and everytime its that much better for every type of riding. Crazy adjustable shocks, can totally change them up in a minute or 2 out on the trail or at the track with the lil pump. Good times in the hills!!! Damn that's lots of typing with sausage fingers on my phone..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAMIKAZE Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Well I just got my box of alba gear and so far not impressed First thing the brake line clamps were missin g Second was with the stock shock linkage one fit no worries the other is completly different and isn't even close to fitting Third the tie rods must have had the threads tapped and then chromed as there is shit all through them and the ends don't screw in without re tapping Also got a front bumper It was bent and only 2 out of 4 holes lined up After some bending/elongating the holes It bolts up but sits slightly angled Doesn't make me feel to safe about riding on their arms if all this is wrong already Will get some pics up in a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I just got my box of alba gear and so far not impressed First thing the brake line clamps were missin g Second was with the stock shock linkage one fit no worries the other is completly different and isn't even close to fitting Third the tie rods must have had the threads tapped and then chromed as there is shit all through them and the ends don't screw in without re tapping Also got a front bumper It was bent and only 2 out of 4 holes lined up After some bending/elongating the holes It bolts up but sits slightly angled Doesn't make me feel to safe about riding on their arms if all this is wrong already Will get some pics up in a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAMIKAZE Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I also have an axle to go in, how should i set it 4' wider like the arms or so the wheels are level with each other ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous039 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yes set the axle up to +4 so everything is lined up. Your bike is going to handle like its on rails man, you will love it. I also have an axle to go in, how should i set it 4' wider like the arms or so the wheels are level with each other ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAMIKAZE Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 re tapped the rods and they fit mint now they said they will express post the replacement link to me and i will get the brake line clamps later when there in stock they even offered to pay for the rods to be tapped but i had a tap and took 15 mins to sort out axle is in and fits mint what sort of camber should i run on the front ? and just a 0deg toe? be nice if the link arrives and i can test them this weekend although it is with stock shocks should still be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAMIKAZE Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 thats how it sits now just set the other link up to hold the shock so i could leave it resting on its own n will swap that out as soon as the new one turns up after the few little issues pretty happy with it all new just want to test it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAMIKAZE Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 still no replacement part miss out on a second weekend of riding now not impressed with the service at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggem Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Have you seen Fireball Racing Arms, Stellar Arms, or Lonestar Arms hard to beat there quality and service. I never even seen any arms made by RPM, i thought they just produced minor accessories like bumpers and grab bars. RPM makes some awsome arms, they also build streetbike powered quads and some electronics and stuff, cant beet the price and the quality is really good.

banshee jump Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just installed a set of +2+1 full flight arm with elka shocks. I love the way it rides and handles.. Way better then stock thats for sure but i would bet the shocks play a big role in the performance. However the arm themselves are a nice quality especially for the price. And they bolt right up with ease witch is always a plus!! So far i really like the setup.. Id recommend them especially if your on a budget such as myself.. what length are use elka's??
