Need to know if this will work before ordering my swing arm

[06BCBANSHEE]

Hey guys

 

Figured you guys could answer my question, I'm about to order a -1.5 JL swingarm. I ride mostly trails, but looking to go to the track as well. Anyone know if a -1.5 will work with 20" tires with the AC nerf bars, with the built in heel guards. I would prefer to have a -1.5 over a -1, but if it means I can't run 20" tires with my nerf bars then I'll get -1.

 

Still waiting on my PayPal to be approved so I have a cpl days to figure out what would be best

 

Any input or help would be appreciated, thanks guys!!

I would recommend measure the distance from your heel gaurd to you tires now while it is sitting on level ground. Then see how close it will be if you brought the tire in 1.5"

I run a -1 Swingarm with 20" rears and AC Propeg Nerfs. It gets to be tight when rear suspension is fully compressed.

 

Go do it up!!!

Hey savage420 so you think -1.5 would still be ok?

Check with DDQ. He runs JL's -1.5, and he also runs nerfs. Also, that -1.5 is an awesome size. -1 isn't quite enough, but in some cases -2 is too much. He did great with the -1.5...

[06BCBANSHEE]

Are you happy with the -1 or do you wish you went shorter?

[06BCBANSHEE]

Yea I asked DDQ he isnt sure. I was planning on doing the -1.5. Well if they rub I'll just have to run 18" or grind off the heel guards lol. I think I would regret not doin the -1.5 . First world problems lol

Oh okay. I wasn't sure exactly what his setup was. Whatever you need to cut, grind, or remove will be well worth it with that arm.

I personally wouldn't run any shorter then I run on my bike for the variety of terrain I ride around here. Sometimes it gets real hairy on the give it all steep technical climbs. But for general rippin rippin around on, its perfect for me. I change from 18's to 20's out back depending on where I'm riding and its quite a bit different how the size of tires react.

[06BCBANSHEE]

Ya I'll be doing the same, going from 18-20" tires. Theirs not much around here for Hill climbs. So it would be mostly back logging roads, trails, and mx. I really dunno what to do. I suppose I could do -1.25" lol. God damn it, someone decide for me lol, I clearly can't!

[So Cal Suspension]

I'd just do the -1.5" from JL. DDQ loves his...

Fuxking need bars are a pain... I run a -2 with dg alloy peg nerf bars and have room for 22" tires

Not sure what your saying lol, I'm guessing nerf bars are a pain? Do the DG nerfs not have heel guards? I'll prob just cut the heal guards If they rub. Or buy new nerfs just got them powder coated

Ya will do, gotta do what u gotta do. Hate the look of 20" anyways lol. I'll most likley be using the 18" more often anyhow I suppose. Since I'm not a fan of the huge rocky trails where 20" are needed. Hopefully hey don't need to be cut tho. Can't wait to try my new rear end. Gonna be like a new bike with the swingarms, axle, and elka elite with linkage
