2015-16 front end Geometry options (Zbroz Racing)

Zbroz Racing · Sep 14, 2015

Just wanted to drop a thread and let guys know we have our 36" 2016 spindle geometry kits just about in stock. They are at powder coat now. Also we are building a 38" or 2013-2015 upper A arm that will allow you to keep your lower and run the new spindle. We plan to have spindles in stock and upper ball joints as well very soon. Or you can get them from any cat dealer.

Personally I am sticking with a 38" width and the new spindle, the width is great for my riding style and height 6.0" I have rode the 36" and its awesome but gives up some travel for jumping and drops. If feel like the improvements the new spindle makes really open up the possibilities of the 38" width so before you drop lots of extra $$$ on a 36" kit consider staying 38" and getting a new upper a arm from us and just the spindles.

Also make sure you understand you need to shorten or buy different shocks when going to the 36" kit that is one more added cost.

Our 38" upper a arms will be tacked and welded in the next 1-2 weeks and on the shelf to begin shipping but here is the link to the 36" kit for you to check out.

I'm glad somebody is offering a 38" setup for the new spindle! The little bit wider stance makes a better all around sled for me as well.

Does anyone know if you can use the old a arms and tie rods with the new spindles? Has this been done? Ive tried to look at the designs and compare them and the connections look pretty close. I too would like to keep the 38" width with the new spindles.

The newer spindles tip in at the top so I'm guessing shorter upper arms is a must.

New spindle design

Yes the new upper is required for sure because of a few things like length as well as to give you the correct castor and camber angle that the new spindle is designed to have. Tie rod length can actually stay the same but the 2013-2015 upper a arm will not work.

38" 2016 option

I totally agree with you on the 38" width with the new 2016 spindle being a great package, we are hoping others will see the wisdom here too and not just abandon ship on that width for 36" .....

Will you be selling a kit with the new upper A-Arms and the Cat spindles and anything else that is needed?

Yes we plan to offer a complete kit with spindles and upper A arms and upper ball joints.

Its just about another week or so before that kit will be listed.

So if we choose to go to 36inch wide, after buying your top a-arm and the spindle.. can we just get the bottom a-arms to make it the 36 inch stance? If so, I'm in.

BTW you guys should post this in the Yamaha Viper section as well.

Good idea I need to post there for sure too.

The 36" kit is complete with uppers and lowers but not including spindles. The kit widths are different so where as if you have a 38" lowers and just need uppers the upper is stills specific to the 38" width. If you decide to go 36" wide the uppers and lowers are specific so that is the width you will get. Hopefully i'm not confusing anyone.

2012 model years are 40" wide (Can be made into any width and converted to use the 2016 spindle)

2013-2015 model years are 38" wide (Upper a arm, Ball joint and 2016 spindle)

2016 model year is 36" wide. (complete kit, uppers, lowers, ball joints, and you still need a set of 2016 spindles)

Any prices yet on upper a arms and ball joints?

WyoBoy1000 · Sep 15, 2015

Been waiting for this. Good job guys, but now I have a 16. Which I run closer to 37 and it's tippy as heIl. Plus the 38 doesn't panel out as fast.

Upper a arm info 38" kits

Upper set will be $180.00 but the ball joint is the issue for us. We are looking at providing the set as a package to reduce the overall price rather than you having to get the parts from a Cat dealer.

Stay tuned the whole thing is getting close to being done and ready really just waiting on some upper ball joint options to finalize.

Thanks

Upper ball joints for 2016 spindle

Yes the upper ball joint is different for 2016 so it cannot be re used. We wish that was the case but it has to have a special style because of how the spindle is designed. They didn't simplify that part for us.

Any update???

Zbroz Racing · Sep 28, 2015

38" Uppers for 2016 spindes

They are welded and heading to paint later today. We are still struggling to get the upper ball joints in our hands. We have tried to find another option besides the stock cat joint but that looks like the only option as of right now. The upper Arms will be back from powder coat and be ready to ship Mid to late this week for sure.

We will put them in stock and in a package on the website as soon as they are ready to ship.

What are the chances these arms will work with a piggy back shock that has the reservoir straight out perpendicular to the upper shock bolt? Like the attached picture.
