Walsh and Elka?

I have a new walsh swingarm and a elka rear shock, I am having a problem fitting the elka shock to the swingarm mount, they do not seem to fit each other. The elka shock is an older shock, that I used with my stock swingarm. Has anyone encountered any fitting issues with the shock mount on the walsh swingarm?

Thanks

Since the only new part here is the swingarm and you used the Elka shock with another swingarm, either the other swing arm was modified or the Walsh unit is not the right size. Try taking another rear shock and see if iit fits the Walsh. The only differences should be the diameter of the bolt (2003's went with a 12mm diameter bolt vs prevoius model's 10mm bolt diameter). I mod all my swingarms with the bigger bolt.
