Hi guys,

I bought some Elka Stage 5 (for 2012 RMK) for my 2014 Pro RMK.

For the fronts to get them fit i swapped my lower a-arm for the older model. Seems to work fine.

My problem is with the front track shock. The reservoir on the shock is on the side which block the little wheel to go 100% at his place. The guy that sell me the shock said that on his model, the wheel were outside the rail.

Anyone know if i can do this also and which part from Polaris i need?

Snap a pic and post it.

Can you move the wheels or are they on an existing cross-shaft?

If the wheels are mounted with a little bracket instead of a cross-shaft (like an anti-stab kit), then it's easy to move them.

The wheels are the ones on OEM 2014 lower bolt of the rear track shock.

It's a big sleeve with 2 types of spacer and washers.

I just saw you "Plush" project, i might try to mount it sideway with the reservoir on the top. Might work...

Pop the one bearing out of the wheel and use the bearing as a spacer.
Good to go.

My 11 has no wheels there at all now and hyfax wear hasn't been an issue.
