Jpan350 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Bought these arms a week or so ago went to install them today after a front end tear down and they're too wide did i get the wrong set or am i missing something that i have to relocate mounts. the old arms measure 8 5/8 on upper and 9 1/2 on lower, the new measure 10 upper and 10 1/2 lower. these measurements are from outside to outside on the arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Certainly do not need to relocate mounts for any brand aftermarket arms. Buy them new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan350 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 yea ordered over the phone from alba actually ordered a lot at the same time, must have pulled the wrong part number and billed me for the right number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan350 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 not with the albas held up to the bike just the full flights that came on it when i bought it, I've tried reaching out to full flight but they must be out of business now, lifetime warranty on them is out the door now. Think they could be yfz arms since they're wider or just a totally different arm for a different manufacturer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan350 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Im sure its nothing to resolve with alba they seem like theyre a very professional company to work with just sucks having to wait another week or longer to get the ball rolling again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan350 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 i sent them an email about a month ago with no reply and tried calling them about 3 times, i thought that maybe they was closed when i tried calling but their phone gives a disconnect notice now. Even tried to google their number to see if it has changed and its the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano3 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Measured my aba LT arms and got 8-1/4” upper and 9-1/2” bottom. On the uppers i measured from the outside of the rubber bushings and did not include the aluminum spacers (2) they use on each upper arm.

Jpan350 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I talked to Jorge Amaya from Alba today and he measured them again from his warehouse and they’re 10 and 10.5. Somehow we’ve come with a conclusion that mine has been fabbed for different arms because you can tell someone has welded in on the frame like from a j arm to a arm conversion it looks like it anyways but really not for sure because why would they take the time to add in the vin from a 2004. Also how could the previous owner find full flight arms to fit but the Alba’s are an inch to inch and a half off. Do you have any pictures dano3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Both of my Banshee frames that have had 3 different brand arms, including stock, measure 8 1/2" top and 9 1/2" bottom between the mount ears on the frame.

Jpan350 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 If it allows you to look at the photobucket album you will see what I’m talking about. My original arms that were full flight mounted right up but the difference is definitely noticeable between the 2 brands and when I talked to Alba today they said the same thing that I had the banshee arms that they all measured bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano3 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Total on the alba uppers using 2 washers is about 8-1/2” to 8-5/8”. Lowers are 9-1/2”. Also measured an OEM upper and got 8-5/8” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 If Alba is telling you Banshee's are measuring 10" and 10 1/2" They are WRONG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
