Another Awsome craigslist find!!!

[KTM RACING 559]

Got this sick aftermarket front end from the same guy on Craigslist that i got my Shearer exhaust system for 25bucks. honestly. NO JOKE the whole setup was only 150bucks! I took that fool to the cleaners haha



Not sure exactly how many inches of extension those A-arms are, but ill measure em when i get a chance





It even came with spindles and rotors





DEFINITELY NOT gonna miss that junk a$$ stock setup LOL

 

[twostrokefolks]

[blasterdemon7]

That's a killer deal !

Thanks guys! Yeah I couldn't pass it up. But hey I had a question, so what's the difference between these works shocks and the ones that have the small nitrogen resivours on the sides of them?

The basic explanation is that the reservoirs help to to cool the oil in the shocks when there in a situation where there being put threw heavy use such as MX racing. If the oil gets to hot, you get what is called shock fade. The shock will feel spongy. There really no benefit to most riders that don't Race MX.

Ok, Yeah that makes sense. thanks blasterdemon!

Thanks B S! I know, I definatly couldn't pass em up for that cheap.I:I

 

[Herpderplol]

WOW You sure are lucky!!

Those are +3 +1 arms. the +2 dont go forward like the 3's

 

[KTM RACING 559]

Thanks herpderplol! Yeah your exactly right, +3 +1. I wasn't sure at first, but the tape measure doesn't lie haha. I'm still not sure who made them, there's no markings or anything on them.

that makes it even sweeter of a score

Finally got it back together. But first I took the time to properly grease all the bushings.

 

[Herpderplol]

Those are ASR arms

Did the works shocks come with the arms?

 

[dirtysquared]

Looking good! Damn good deal and jod job putting 'em on.

 

[KTM RACING 559]

Forsure that's cool, ive heard of american star but never ASR.
And yeah they came with the works shocks and the spindles and rotorsI:I

 

[KTM RACING 559]

Thanks fred! Yeah they were somewhat time consuming to grease and assemble, but they are SO MUCH BETTER than the stock setup I had its not even funny, and it was worth the time, but unfortunatly i think the works shocks need to be rebuilt, they are extremely soft and make a weird bubbly sound when they're compressed. But I'm not gonna complain for 150 bucksI:I

Check for leaks
And have some one check the pressure of them
Or there set up for a lighter person

I have works on a few of my toys and love them

And by the looks there A T steelers

 

[KTM RACING 559]

Thanks B S! I'm probably gonna end up sending them in to get rebuilt, but even the way they are now, theyre so much better than stock shocks, and yeah you're right they're AT steelers triple rate.
