i want +3's but i want to use my 16" Elka's
So sell the things, and get some new TCS 19" shocks. I'm sure with a little peddling on here, you'll get good money out of them. Any OFFERS??? Help this guy out. He need LT.

I don't know what else would look good other than red and silver vein.............I wanted to do my bike blue, but everything for these bikes is red.
Hey Wana, I'm glad he sold you my set!
Now I can get the trans red and not have to pay extra!
I just made the same decision, and went with red accessories. I might add some blue and have a 3 color bike someday - red, blue, silver. Could look cool if done right.
How much you want for the Elkas. I actually need a set, when I get the money.

I believe this is because they haven't been produced yet. Do they make a trans red? What does it look like..i visited their site already..didn't see anything.

Thomez, you shouldn't :drink: so much on a school night.

Actually I'm sober.
He must have sold my arms to someone else. I know the culprit btw.
He had 1 set that was ready for me, but upon him figuring out that I didn't need them for a while, he sold them. He then placed an order for 10 sets of the +3 arms, of which we will each be getting a set. Got it? Houser did have 1 set made and they were slated to be mine. Instead they moved along to someone needing them faster and we'll get ours in a bit. No biggie for me, I can't use them til I get home from school.
About the Elkas - if you look up a few posts, a kid has 16" Elkas he needs to sell if he goes with a long travel front end. I need some 16" Elkas for my set of Houser +1 arms. I asked how much he wanted. Easy enough?

I'm still confused on what +1 actually means. Is it 1" wider total or 1" wider per side for 2" total?

+1 is 1" wider per side. Most people who do this mod use the 4+1 wheels, which narrows you bike back to stock width. This makes the bike handle better, and has less bump steer. This is accomlished by movine the centerline of the tire closer to the balljoi
