my new front spacers

well i rode it a bit yesterday and didnt notice anything just the nerf problem....and i dont do any 20 footers so i should be fine..

I would probably say, more in a racing situation, your back end should be a little more "unpredictable" and slide out a little easier, losing traction in turns, over-steering, etc, if anything.

Again, just keep us posted with your findings as you continue to test...

Spacers have always seemed to hold and live up to their strength and durability capabilities, very few instances of full failure are documented, even on the race track...

Running spacers on the front of quads has been controversial since front wheel spacers cause the wheels to go through a forward and backward sweeping motion when going through the steering range, which can cause force feedback to the rider and a tendency for the ATV to steer itself.

This is why things like extended A-Arm kits and front wheel flipping, etc, are so much more popular and definitely recommended as the procedure to follow, to get a wider front end on an ATV. I personally chose a much cheaper route than doing a FULL A-Arm upgrade, etc, and still got a full 8 inch stretch over stock. I used a product from Diamond J, their A-Arm extension kit. This kit basically re-locates all the mounting points for your stock equipment, widening each side 3 inches. The braces/brackets are heavy duty and super strong, race proven and actually much nicer than I anticipated on them being. They can be painted and customized to match your bike, etc, as well...

There are 2 kits available, a 4.5" and a 6", I went with the 6". Between this kit and a front wheel flip you are 8" over stock on the blaster, how can you beat that utilizing all of your stock suspension components, still leaving room for future upgrades if desired, all for under $200???

Brilliant, Just thought I would share this with you guyz/galz... :)

WOW..... almost sounds like your selling them...lol
 
I think I may look into this kit from Diamond J... Rep point given as well!!

Thx. let me know if you need any info regarding this kit, the install, etc. Ebay has them once in a while discounted as opposed to the diamond J site. I have a very nice documented process for the install, would be glad to share it with you when you are ready, very easy install, takes a bit but simple process to follow.
 
Aside from the bump steer issue. if you live through the catrostrofic failure let us know. Looks weak as hell. Might not take a 20ft jump to break. You have the "cheater bar" effect on the studs and ears on wheel hub. JMO.
