Title: Fox swingarm/roller lowering kit
Post by: Rossvickicampbell on July 25, 2016, 08:24:58 pm

Ok guys - how critical is the front chain roller lowering kit on a Fox swingarm on a 1980 Honda CR250.  When I try to install the lowering kit it impacts on the brake stay rod - and not by a little bit either - basically the 2 will not go together.  It may explain why the front roller mount was previously bent out of the way to allow fit - but I thought this might cause chain running issues.

????

thanks

Rossco

no I haven't - I have the KLP one which came with the swingarm but as for my dealings with KLP finding it difficult to use.  Bit expensive are PD which is a shame - their stuff is awesome and was looking at some bolts from them.

thanks for the link

was thinking of writing to PD to see if I could just get the brake stay mod part.
