Does anybody know if the E13 SUpercharger will fit the Karpiel Armageddon ? I have been told by a friend that only the 32-36 version of the Supercharger will fit, since the other E13 bashguards will hit the rear swinger ! Since I do not have anywhere around where I can see or measure the E13 bashguards, - I would like to know if it is possible to fit the 40T Supercharger or if it will interefere with the rear triangle......I am kind of lost here, - did not think it would be a problem, but when told so I have to admit I do not have a clue !?!?!?!

Also,- would that mean that the biggest chainring I can use is a 36 ??? (odd)

Any ideas ??

You will have to cut it to fit, but it works.

 

[seismic]

What is it I will have to cut....and why ?? Is the bashring too big ?

its not necessary

 

[zedro]

can't you just bend that soft untreated aluminum swingarm away for clearance?

Supercharger will fit up on the Army no problem.

yea i run a SRS on my ARMY. everythings fine. will post up pics when i get all the new parts on.

 

[seismic]

Thanks guys...but could you tell me what size of supercharger you are running on your bikes ???

 

[DHS]

yea i was running the biggest one, 44t or 42t can't remember. changing it to one of the ones i won on ebay.
i always thought, because of the design, the karpiel needed to run a 40-42 tooth chain ring for the suspension to work. Brian told me differently, so gonna run a 36tooth. with smaller super charger.

Vitox on that Army, thats a Ti spring on the avy rear shock, any chance you could get pics of inside the seat mast? so we can see the clearance of the spring and such.
thanks

There are very little clearance when you mount the Ti spring. Just did, and had to grind down approx 1mm on each side of the seat-mast supporters......but then it works!

its a romic 450lbs spring and yes it has to be modded to clear the upper links, it juuust passes between the seat mast supporting piece.

pd: the use of a dremel only started after the guy had gone through one half good and one new file, take that into account and be patient.

 

[DHS]

wow, he took material off the spring, i ment to take off of the frame/seat mast

 

[seismic]

I would prefer the tower too !!! The spring is........Hmmm...??

See I told you it would work!!!!! DHS doesn't trust me on this one.

It works great !

well there wasnt any problem with the seat mast support, the rub was with the upper links, maybe there were an old version, i know the disco links had the same problem and it got fixed with a latter revision where there was a cut-out.

anyway its a romic 450 and it has at least 1mm clearance on both ends as far as the seat mast thingy goes.

a stratos 450 ti would rub bigtime on those same supports though, dont know about the avy spring.

 

[seismic]

Avy Steel spring = No problem
Avy Ti spring = have to remove approx 1mm of each side of the seat mast supporters

When I had the Ti spring on my Disco it hit the lower links too, not a lot you can do. That problem was solved with modifiying the seat tower brace and using the longer spring retainer.

yea i know i know,
just kinda weirded out by taken more material off my Army, when i can't get parts for it anymore. well you know what i mean.

 

[seismic]

You only have to take approx 1mm in each side...no problem !
