If you're serious about developing your own linkage, this should be one of your top concerns. He's right about that. It may actually work fine with a stock linkage. Defeats the purpose of getting LT but if your in a pinch try that. Me personally I want it to work with the Elka linkage. It will definitely work with the stock linkage then as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp2000 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 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.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran FMF pipes and his story was that he would damage those silencers pretty often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
