Narrowest front end for LTR

[smoke tractor1]

My buddy is having problems xc racing on his with houser mgc +1 and 4+1 hipers, Looking to find the narrowest width arms on market preferrably mgc if possible!Let me know what's up!

[bigbad400]

why not just put stock back on...? they sell -1" and even -2" a arms i think but if your running plus 1" now could try stock, plus 1" is on each side so you will lose two inches. and i would def suggest not such an offset rim too. lol hes set up for mx riding a factory built mx quad trying to race xc.... seems like he needs to stop and rexamine what he wants and really needs for his application.

Those arms arent going to let you be very narrow at all, if your trying to race xc racing you need to get a new front end. At 50" your gonna have one heck of a time dodging trees!

[bigbad400]

hell stock its 50" wide. with ofsets and +1"s hes prolly 54" wide. lol the ltr comes stock fully setup for racing mx.... go on ebay and look up xc arms you might find some.... prolly his best bet is to look at what the gncc pro is runnng on his suzuki. lol

stock width is 49inches, WITH 3-2 offset wheels, stock a-arms and 4-1 offset will get you to 47 inches.

By comparison stock Honda and older YFZ's are 46 inches stock.

I have two stock width LTR's and have been measuring to see if I can make them narrower with out changing a-arms. This is what I came up with.

[bigbad400]

there is your answer. lol buy arms

[blholtz]

buy stock a-arms and go with 4-1 offset rims, or stock width arms.

He has Houser mgc XC width now!I guess I should have worded my question as: What companies make a-arms narrower than XC width Houser mgc arms?I'm a Honda guy so I don't have any idea what's available for zuk's,not many race them XC around here,but he got a good deal on it and it has a rekluse ohlins shocks and it looked like whoever built knew how to set one up,He's fairly green and is having trouble after getting off a 250R!Just trying to point him in the right direction,so any help from the guys XC racing them fulltime not mx racing and riding or racing hitting a wide open woods track everynow and then,My honda is 46 1/2" and it was getting wedged last weekend!No offense to the mx guys but the same bike wont work on most of the southeastern harescramble races!Thanks guys!

[bigbad400]

got rid of the honda and got a zuki... hes in the right direction. lol :D

The only way to go narrower is to get shorter a-arms and 4-1 offset rims, but I would not make any machine narrower than 46 inches. Your gonna make it so tippy it would be nuts to ride.

If you are running a AMA sanctioned woods type race, the rules allow for a ten foot deviation to either side of the marked course. If it gets a little to narrow go another way.

all this for the front wut about the rear i have heard the z400 rear hubs will narrow it and also heard of shaving inside of the stock hubs down snd running a washer on the outside to fill the gapand heard someone say u could press the hub bolts out and press them back in backwards and reverse the hub all together just trying to help a lil

[bigbad400]

i believe correct me if im wrong but the g force axle for the ltr goes from -2" to +2"....?

or yes z400 hubs work good for xc

GT Thunder makes XC a-arms and they are probably alot cheaper than houser.

i have a set of lonestar arms for my ltr. they are -2 and with 4-1hipers i was at 45.3/4 inches . looked tippy but that all goes away with correct shock settings. they are a long travel arm as well. ran lonestar axle to narrow the rear.

walsh makes negative arms for the
LTR, what Borich runs, but im sure he runs 4/1 wheels ,
I think i read with that above and maybe he used z400 hubs or something it was like 47, dont hold me to that but i read that last part in an interview and he didnt tell it all but , it was like with arms off set wheels 499 hubs im at 47, i believe and i know he runs walsh and 4-1 so , it wasnt hard to figure it out
