12 0 Clock P I M P Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just put my 450 shocks on my +2+1 Full Flight A Arms...........the upper a arm is hitting the bottom of the shock block (where the adjustment is) at Full extension..... I bought the bike with these arms and do not know if they are for stock shocks or long travel...regardless i searched and have not seen anyone with this issue.......what gives???? here are pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 pretty sure you have to get full flights setup for the 450 shocks for it to work? or at least thats the impression i got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05stroker Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Try turning the base around, looks like it will give you about 1/4" more of clearance or so. I think the screws face the inside on the 450's from the factory. That's the way I have mine and it's easier to get a screw driver in that way for adjusting.

KickStartMyHeart Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Turn the base around like he said and you'll be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05stroker Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 It's hard to see in the pics, but after you try turning them around you need to make sure that that hiem joint isn't binding before the shock is fully extended. With those shocks being longer than stock you could break one of those hiems if that is what stops your a-arms from traveling down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
