After putting up the List of all the Long Travel Kits on the market 2011 The thread was put up in a way you can not post (Closed).

So this thread is the second half, so you can post here about the Long Travel Thread. Thanks
Here is a link:
Long Travel Kits on the market 2011

So lets here what you have to say about the Long Travel kits listed or others.

 

[Flyingbryan]

On the list I did not say what kits have or use a sway bar. Also at least one kit did not work with the stock X rims (they needed spacers to work) and I don't remember who had that problem.

On the list, I listed things like "Break Line:" and because it is closed I can not add "yes or no" so things that don't have "Yes or NO" after just means I didn't get that info yet.

 

[Odyknuck]

I believe it was the Holtz kit with the clearence problem with the "X" wheels.

 

[Flyingbryan]

I think you are correct on that Odyknuck.
Thanks

GSXR 702. So on the video they say that they are installing a HCR +6 kit and it makes the Commander 12" wider overall, was that a typo or was there also a +6 kit?

I also found a couple of articles written on the HCR +6 kit with pricing that I listed.

Hope you don't mind I used your pictures for HCR long travel. If so I will remove them. Great shots by the way.

 

[Gsxr702]

The kit is a plus 6" an that is perside . I believe it measure about 72" to the outside of the tires in the pictures that you used . Its great that you used the pictures they where used in a press release. It looks great flying through the air. It shows the full range of the travel.

This is from the updated website now .

They may have solved that issue per this statment on their webside:

"Designed to work with the stock length shocks. X package shocks might be adequate but may require valving or spring changes for optimum performance
Other shock options are available with proper spring and valving specs for HRP suspension. (Fox, Walker Evans)
SHOCKS SOLD SEPARATELY
Will work with stock wheel offset. Wheel spacers are not necessary"

Was wondering, I recently installed the HCR 6" kit and have since done some riding on hard packed, long straight dirt roads. When doing so, I have noticed some major rolling going on. Wiith the HCR kit, there is no rear sway bar with the kit, and the stock sway bar does not mount to the HCR rear trailing arms. I am wondering if anyone else has installed the HCR kit and have noticed this issue.

 

[Flyingbryan]

Sounds like a lot of sway bars are removed for a few of the kits and some people have said there is more roll but they get used to it. If you don't care for that roll feeling you can get stiffer springs or maybe a sway bar off a kit like on the Buckshot LT might work.

 

[Odyknuck]

Addd additional spring preload and adjust your low speed compression a little stiffer. that will help with the roll
