Front and Back Width

[joshleb]

I was thinking about buying a wider rear axle, but if I did that, it would make the rear quite a bit wider than the front, and as A Arms are so expensive, it would probably be a while until I got some.

So should I get the wider rear end, and put it on straight away, or keep it off until I get some A Arms?
Or would just turning round my front wheels be better for it, and put the rear on as well?

dont put the axle yet cause it will push on the front end and will be verry hard to steer go check thats out this guys sell on e-bay and you could get a set for less than 100$ http://www.diamondjcustoms.com/new/widening/yamaha/blaster-200.htm

Yea, what Steve said.

You should go ahead and flip your front rims around though, it really makes a difference. I have 4" spacers on the back of mine, and had my wheels flipped. Handled a lot better than stock. But then i put my shee brakes on the front, and the valvestems hit.

So i got some flush mount valves but i havent installed them yet. And like randy said, with my rear end being 8" wider total, and having the fronts stock, it handles like ccccrap. Wants to 2 wheel everytime you go around a corner.

makes for some good showin off though...
