If anyone has done the Metco Watts Link upgrade and would like to help me out, I need a factory watts link arm (either side as they are identical) to hack up again. Seems like we took too much "tolerance" out of the one on the ProRauder and need to adjust another one.

PM me if you have one you don't need and I'll gladly PayPal or whatever to get one 2nd day air... I only need one!

Thanks in advance!

John,
With all the work you have done why not just wip up a pair of proper links with hiem joints?

The loading in turns will be huge with those big ol rollers out back anyway,so why risk a failure of a modded stock arm?

Fabbing a mount for the rear ride hieght set up shouldn't be a problem either.

The bend in the stock arms was to get around the tail pipes,I'm sure those have to be moved too.
Just a thought.
Sorry I don't have any stock parts to give you.

A good idea, but it was just as quick to box the factory ones for strength after cutting them to length. The only problem was that we cut from the wrong end on the one with the leveler and the adjuster gets just a little too close to the center arm of the watts. We're just going to whack another one with an additional inch of distance I have potential room for exhaust still.

Remember, I don't have the unlimited funds that L/K has... (LOL!)

FastBlack: Thanks for the PM! You have one back buddy!!!!

Cheers!

"Had", not "has".

Remember, I just retired and I am now on a fixed income! Geesh! :D
