a-arm trouble!!!

[BiDo]

When i bought my bike it came with LT elkas and roll design a-arms. I messed up the left roll design a-arms. Today i received +2 fullflight a-arms (didnt want to spend the money for other ones, got for 350) but when i went to put them on i could tell that they seemed shorter then the roll design. The distance from the bottom a-arm shock mount(middle of the bolt) to the middle of the hiem were it connects to the frame is shorter than the measurements on the roll designs. I installed the bottom fullflight a-arms and attached the shock to it and did the same with the roll design and there was a big difference. The FF knuckle hiems sat way lower than the roll design ones, it seemed like they weren't LT a-a-arms??? i'll will post pics in a little bit. Any help is appreciated!!!

The distance from the shock mount (bottom a-arm, middle of the bolt) to the middle of the bolt on the end of the a-arms were it connects to frame is 10 3/4 inches on the fullflight and 12 1/4 inches on the roll design a-arms.

Like said above, the arms you bought are standard travel arms.

and Fullflight is junk.

These guys answered your questions correctly. I don't know about the FF's being junk. I bought mine alil after they first came out and have had them for 3yrs and they have held up fine. I haven't had one problem on mine. If you don't set them up correctly they will have play in them and such. They are very difficult to dial in because of all the adjustments.

thanks all, im trying to return the FFs now and trying to see if roll design could fix or sell/send me just the top a-arms.
