I recently bought what it thought where LSR DC-4 Long travel +2 A-Arms. See picture. At first i thought they re-engineered them because they dont look like anything i have seen on-line.
Since LSR hasnt gotten back to me yet and the person ibought them from has no idea what they are i am wondering iof anybody here knows what they are. They are from LSR and they fit the yfz450 but i dont think they are the +2 then because they do fit the Long travel Elkas i have mounted.
thanx

Here is what LSR said in an email

"The styles have changed for more clearance and performance.

Thanks
LSR

"

Is it just me or do they look a little flimsy oppose to the old style ones?

Those are the new style LSR's!

LSR usually punches a number on the inside of the upper & lower threaded balljoint boss. If they are plus 2 they will have a 2 on them.

They look stronger & lighters besides the fact of haveing more ground clearance.:)

thanx A little correction, I told you that they where for sure long travel and the reason that they looked different was because they had probally changed the design. ;)

I've never setup a frontend for MX so I wouldn't be the one to answer that.

Here is a link on how to set up caster and camber..... You will have no worries with this new style. They are stronger then what they where and have more clearance. You will be very pleased with these a-arms, I am sure of it…

im not sure exaclt what it is in degres but usually if you us a carpenter square laid against the ground and your tire you want about 5/8" gap at the top.
