??? about Houser arms

[brian350rx]

Does anyone happen to have Houser long travel a arms on a 250r? I just put some on mine and the kingpin (ball joint) doesnt go all the way down to the spindle. I was just wondering if this is normal. Thanks

Do a search. I read before in this site about something just like that.

Jeff, do you happen to have (or can you get) any pics of the a arms where they bolt up to the spindle? I dont know how to describe this - but the kingpin goes in the spindle far enough to get the nut on and everytihng, but there is still some of it showing on the top side (of the upper a arm) and some showing on the bottom side of the lower arm.
Thanks

You mean part of the taper is showing? A little of the taper showing is normal.
I don't have that bike anymore to take pics of.

[brian350rx]

I had the same problem with mine, it is normal for some of it to be showing. I would say I had 3/8 to a half of an inch showing on mine.

beak7707 - thats about what mine is 3/8 to 1/2"
thanks everyone for the help
