Thanks Man.. I will be giving them a call tom to get this straightened out.. I sent them a email, I was going back and forth with some dude who really had no clue what was going on, and the tech wouldnt be in until Monday, which i had already known.. Yea I had a feeling they where for +3.. Im hoping this was my problem, would be a easy fix, thanks again.. How long have you had your ASR? Do you like them? Are they fully adjustable? Do you have heim joints or stock ends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiecha17 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 How long have you had your ASR?Do you like them? Are they fully adjustable? Do you have heim joints or stock ends? i have had the ASR plus 2+1's for one season now and they seem to be rock solid . i have had no problems with them. i like them alot. i have the heim joints w/ them . i got the asr plus 2+1's pro. so ya they are adjustable in my case it was one of the best add ons i did with my shee but just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiftdT4R Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Don't know if this helps or not, but , I actually figured out the length of the +2 tie rods, with ball joints based on the geometry of a stock rod to get me close when I did my alignment on my new front end. The length of the stockers with BJs(from center of BJ to center of BJ) is 14.2", if you draw it up, and figure +1" foward and +2" width, the length of the new tie rod from center of BJ to center of BJ is 16 9/16". When I did mine it wound up actually being like one more turn out on each side, but that got me really close. If your in that area on the length, then something else was wrong. I know on the one bike I had, the arm coming off the spindle was actually bent, your best bet is to put it up on a jack, and measure from the floor to different points on the front suspension(side to side) and see if anything is bent. That should tell you pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
