67-72 vs 73+ LCA

[clemsonteg]

I read a few places here that the 73+ LCA had slightly better clearance for bags over the 67-72 LCA. Is that true? Anyone have a side by side photo? Are there any other differences beside the obvious ball joints and cross shafts?

what will your front bag setup be?

Cups and D2600 bags. More clearance means I can cut the cups down more and have a lower ride height

Looking for more opinions before I buy a set and swap out my arms

I think they are the same... I never heard of the arms being diff besides the ball joints. I would just cup them a few inches deep.

I know the ball joints and cross shafts are different for sure. The other difference I read about (and can sort of see from some pictures) is that the spring pocket has more of a taper on the 73+ arms. I considered cupping the arms, but I wouldn't be able to utilize most of the benefit because of the inner fenders. I am using 2" cups on my bags now and I have very little clearance between the arm and bag at ride height. I would like to trim the cups down a little further, but I don't want the bag to rub at ride height.
