Hawaiiysr , thanks for the info. I’ll scrap the nolink idea then . The difference in price for an LT front vs standard isn’t that much of difference . I like the idea of having more travel especially if coming down off flat bottom jumps in trails or fields. The -1 swinger I’m gonna go with. If I go LT up front and standard in the rear, will the rear sit lower? I’m don’t want to create a headache with this build and have to mod a bunch of other areas just because the front end was donr in an LT setup instead of standard 2-3+1 lsr arms . So tell me guys what’s the verdict guys LT front 3+1 or standard travel 2+1 ? Lol

Ok thanks for the info. I want to buy lsr lt arms and lt Elkas for the front for sure. I buy most of my parts from atv galaxy and I spoke to mike that works there and he says that I can do the front like I plan on but the back will have a standard travel shock on it which would be fine he says. He said he owns 5 trx’s And has built dozens of them. As far as a swingarm if I can have a -1 no link (long travel) made that will bolt up to my 86 stock frame so I can buy a LT elka rear shock I’m all for it . I’m trying to not rush the build and money with this bike isn’t really an object I want to do it right the first time and not regret what I buy.

They have the lt swingarm on eBay and lt a arms . I’m surprised no other major name brand  company makes a rear lt swingarm that bolts up to a stock frame

I’ve been reasearching and found a company called koq racing they make a long travel no link rear swinger that bolts right up to the stock frame . They also make lt a arms 2+1  anyone ever hear of them or use the products on their bike? Also I read it’s good to go with a -1 or -2 swingarm instead of factory 86 length

Probly atv galaxy. But what I’m trying to figure out if I do a lt front end in my bike , if I run a standard length shock on the rear will that be ok ? Meaning will it sit off kilter being the fact the front shocks are longer? Worse case I’ll just do standard travel all around I don’t want to create a headache

Need input on a mx/trail long travel/elka setup . I’m looking to buy lonestar 3+1 longtravel arms with long travel elkas for the front . Now for the real question what size shock can I run on the back with a stock swinger/linkage ?
I’d like to keep the stock length swingarm it’s an 86 but I’m really wanting to do a long travel build and i dont see how a long travel shock will bolt up to the stock 86 frame /linkage . I’m wondering if the bike will sit off kilter (higher) in the front and lower in the back if not able to run a lt in the rear. When I built my banshee elka sold a $500 lt link and it bolted right in with no mods

Yes they are the nicest ones that I’ve came across and lonestar will make the hubs for the 88 style spindles . I just needed to confirm what I was actually buying because with full overhaul builds sometimes it could take more than a year to complete and by the the time you actually get to assembly the parts were purchased 6-8-10 months prior then your kind of stuck if they are wrong

Anyone know which spindle is better to go with 88 or 89? I found Lonestar billet Hobbs and also streamline rotors that will bolt right up to them the only reason why am changing the spindles because I can’t find a good set of rotors for my 86 .I’m really not thrilled about converting to a 400 EX front set up.I found a really nice set of spindles on eBay but the guy that selling them doesn’t know if they are 88 or 89’s and the guy am ordering the billet lonestar hubs from needs to know if they are 88 or 89 .this is what they look like
