hp2000 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 The Elka LT link set up will not work with a lone star arm because of that front brace they come with at the pivot tube & Same goes for a fireball arm unless you order the corner gusset only one.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Are you 100% positive that includes the new Lonestar swingarm styles where they have updated a few parts? A few of the things I know are different are the Carriers have been updated, the brace at the pivot tube is shallower and they use 4 pinch bolts with a center cut taken out instead of two with a solid round housing. Only reason I'm asking is because of these pictures. Here is the older style. I called Lonestar to ask about compatibility but the guy who can answer that won't be in for a few days still. If anyone with a LT linkage could measure the space from their pivot tube to the shock could help also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hp2000 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Fireball -1 swingarm with Elka LT setup is working here…. You can see it in my 2018 built thread.The fireball arms we tried did not work. Someone in the forum had the same issue and had to send their back to fireball to change the gusset to triangles.

I have the previous version and had to modify the LSR swingarm at the brace to clear the shock.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp2000 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks for the update. I already have all the parts so I guess I'll give it a go.The newer LSR seems so have a more narrow brace now compared to previous model. Hopefully you have zero clearance issues.

Fearnot Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Sorry for the absence so here's an update. Getting an Elka LT linkage with either a fox podium or axis,custom made by a builder for it. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97Screamer Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 No surprise but I can confirm HP is correct. I have two lsr swingarms, neither the newest style but slightly different reinforcement thickness up front. Neither of them will work with an Elka link. Please post if you can actually install with the new lsr style.Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97Screamer Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Have you come across any arms that work without modifications?

kawa110 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Will the long travel elka link work with the -2 roll design swingarms? (Probably a stupid question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you order one directly through fireball they will make it so the Elka link works. In my case I had 3 swingarms that did not work so I modified my LSR and made it work. Roll design failed LSR failed Fireball failed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
