they are definatley crap... your refering to the plates you bolt to the frame to make the quad wider correct? and it relocates the a arms outward and you use shocks from a bigger quad? if so then yes those kit are CRAP, and they are dangerous, and they make a quad handle like complete sh*t.. look at any good handling quad and you'll see one thing in common.. the thinner frame sections between the a arm mounts handle MUCH better, less bumpsteer, etc.. check out any of the new 450's.. they are refered to often as "the best handling quads ever" look at a trx250R the winninest quad in history and the quad the all MX quads even today are compared too... they have thin from frame sections.. when you wanted a 250R to really rail around corners you'd by a chassis like a leager narrow.. where the front frame section was even thinner yet... it's very appranet that you know VERY little about the handling characteristcs of a quad.. this topic has been on alot of sites that i'm a member of or even the admin of.. your 25 and riding a blaster... a STOCK one at that.. and the quad you traded for it was a pretty much stock blaster correct? seems to me if that is the case then you don't have the experiance to honestly make an opinion on how exactly those kits work.. me on the otherhand i've owned every 2 stroke quad they made except a gas gas 300 and a tiger supre 4 (they made 10).. but every mainstream 2 stroke quad i have owned. most i own currently.. 7 banshees, 2 tecate 4's (most people haven't seen 1 in person) trx250R are quads i own at this time.. and have owned 2 lt250R's and a lt500R and a 98 blaster.. and have own /have owned numerous trikes as well.. and have been riding since i was 4 years old... so the fact you tell people "DO NOT LISTEN TO 370" is bullshit... because you obviously have 0 knowledge about this topic but are leading people astray from someone who DOES KNOW... those kits are plauged with bumpsteer problems.. a wide front frame section and short a arms does NOTHING for performance.. your using a shock that is not intended for use on the machine and the valving and spring weights and rates are incorrect.. just because a machine is wider doesn't mean it's better, more stable, or better handling.. youi knwo what machines have real wide front frame sections and short a arms.. quad such as bayous, big bears, recons and such... all GREAT handleing quads huh? yeah not even close to the case..
