hp2000 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Posted September 23, 2018 Have you come across any arms that work without modifications? Trying to decide between having my lsr modified or buying another.Sent from my HTC One M9 using TapatalkMy modification Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
97Screamer Posted September 23, 2018 Report Posted September 23, 2018 Older style fire ball with triangle gussets work. If you order one directly through fireball they will make it so the Elka link works. In my case I had 3 swingarms that did not work so I modified my LSR and made it work. Roll design failed LSR failed Fireball failed Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThank you as always for the insight. Very surprised to hear Roll doesn't work either, I'd have thought with their close relationship to Elka they'd have that dialed in. I got mine on with my +2 swingarm but I'd really like to go back to stock length.Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Its been a work in progress for a while but its just about done now. Just need to finish the new shocks and lighting system and hopefully stop messing with it for a while. Quote

You saved me a lot of hassle, I was going to pc it anyways but wouldn't have fit checked it first if it wasn't for your post in this thread. 1 Quote

Envoyé de mon SM-G965W en utilisant Tapatalk I'm leaning towards modifying my lsr but if not I will buy a new Fireball. Now that you've broken that in a bit you ready to sell it? I need a -1 for my upcoming mx build. Quote

(Probably a stupid question) Pretty sure the negative or positive on swingarms is made after the rear-most linkage location but before the bearing carrier so negative shouldn't really effect it mounting. Seems to be whatever a company has added to the pivot tube as reinforcement is the culprit. Still waiting on my rear shock to come in so I can tell you guys if they work on the new LSR style. Quote

Classy bike man, it looks great. Quote
97Screamer Posted September 24, 2018 Report Posted September 24, 2018 I bought it raw. I'm trying to get all the red off my bike so I do have some stripping and reanodizing to do. I plan on clear anodizing most of my raw aluminum parts once I get them all together. Thank you for the compliment!And you are correct about the length of the swingarm having nothing to do with the shock fitting or not. You strip the Anno off the linkage to match the bike?

hp2000 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Posted September 24, 2018 Will the long travel elka link work with the -2 roll design swingarms? (Probably a stupid question) In my experience even though the RD arm has corner bracing it is substantially large and also tend to touch the shock spring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
