Body and Controls / Extended brake lines

I'll probably find some rubber to buffer between line and the arm so it doesn't rub

Do you guys recommend buying clamps for the arms or just zip tie and some rubber or something like that

So I just got my +3 JD LT arms and need extended brake lines. Any preference with anyone?  I've seen the cheap ones from eBay, Streamline, Galfer or Lonestar?  All brake components are stock.

So I just ordered my Elka Legacies direct from them, 10-14 days for delivery. Also went with JD performance LT +3 arms on order today. End of March for shipping on that. Ended up with rear 1.5" spacers for now, just rec riding.

Just talked with Sebastien yesterday, got my order in for the Legacy Series in long travel, and put in my order for JD Performance +3 LT arms!

Did you order the shocks direct from Elka?
And if so, did they know the length needed for the LT arms?  I think I may go with JD now after hearing the difficulty setting up, I'm not super mechanically inclined. Thanks for all the info, been very helpful.

When elka had the $800 front and rear set sale going on a year ago I got three sets. One set per quad. I ordered directly from elka in Canada instead of a third party like ATV galaxy etc. Elka asked a lot of questions and also had a huge data base that was in line with extended and compressed length along with leverage ratios.  I had took the time to remove shocks and go thru the steps Andy maul had posted on maultechatv. Also talked with all my a arm manufacturers for the proper leverage ratio before calling elka and all the data they had was exactly what I had. I am happy with the set ups.

I think I may be going with the Elka f/r package as well. Seems like a good deal for an upgrade from stock. So what information did you need when you called Elka?  I'm going to put new arms and am deciding between LT and ST, possibly JD or LSR arms

They do a ton of business and the reality is - a lot of things get drop shipped from the manufacturer.  You could talk to ATV Galaxy and see if they have the A-Arms you want "in stock" but it's more likely that LSR will have to build them, finish them how you want, and then ship to you.

Thanks, that's what I figured from other people's comments. They have good deals on some things, so I'm sure I'll buy from them in the future.  But something like this, I'll probably just contact LSR directly since the price point isn't too different.

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure. I saw a lot of comments that went both ways. Wrong sizes, slow shipping etc, but sounded like they would make things right most likely.

I'm thinking of ordering some a arms and shocks through them, should I be worried or just order directly from Lonestar, which I somewhat leaning towards since it's only a bit more money

Talk to Jim at Motowoz before u buy. He has great setup, customer service, and great product.  I really like his crossover design. You can fine tune the tender springs with his design.

Awesome, I will look into it. That's why I love this site. Lots of knowledge and insight

Thanks for the replies fellas.  I had a feeling RMS might do it, but didn't know if they mainly did MC.  I'll update y'all when I make a decision. I think it'll be front end and axle then buy a rear after this season, unless it feels way off. We don't do MX, so a rebuilt rear may be sufficient for now.

You could also just send your stock rear shock in for a rebuild & have it set up for your weight & riding style. That would be cheaper than buying new & oem rear shocks can be set up to work well.... We have friends in Sparks that desert race, lots of great riding in your area & I can't wait to go back.

Thanks that's an option I didn't even think about. As I've seen from other threads that rebuilding shocks is a pretty cost effective alternative.  I'll have to look and see if there is an atv shock guy here that could rebuild. I know there is a bunch of dirtbike shops here and one that may do suspension if they're still in business.

And ya I agree, buy once cry once. So it may be nice front, axle and rear rebuilt.
