i got a 94 blaster with a 240 bb, uni air filter, 32mm mikuni carb, dg exhaust(i know, stock w/crome) oil tank removed. i want to jump and trail ride mostely and it has a + 6 inch swing arm and 5 inch spacers on the rear. question is, would it be better to put the stock swing arm back on and take the spacers out. this is how i bought the bike last week, but i got all the stock parts with it.
 
running a 240bbk on a stock swinger kinda sucks bc the front wants to stay up and be a wheelie monster...and the +6 is over kill...id suggest sending ur stock swinger to YB and having him extend it either +2 or +4...as for the spacers,some ppl jump with them some dont...really depends on the jumps,and how heavy and how hard you land..best bet is just getting a longer axle...banshee/GForce/Dura Blue..ect...more for saftey id go with a better axle. and ditch the spacers.
 
if it looks like this its trash...

you know it almost does look like that but im still thinkin of swapin it back to the stock because i cant get a wheelie up unless i stand on the 6 pack rack
 
if its one like the pic above it will break there are many people on here that have had prblems with them...they are from the swingarm shop on ebay
