Yeah I knew BW has them in stock, was kind of hoping to get a used one a bit cheaper than new...
Here is my issue, I am getting hipers, I don't want to get the stock 3:6 offset because it costs so much more... So I'm going to get the 4:5 honda offset and put them on a moto axle to widen it out...

Would spacers work for you?

Well and now that is my other option. I've just always been leery of spacers because I've never used them before... And then I was thinking about going with the G-force hub extenders, but I think it might make the rear end wider than the front... Uggghhh this sucks!
The axle there sounds like it should work Dave.
As for spacers. I raced probably about a dozen races back in I think 2004 on some cheap aluminum spacers that made the rear end like 51" and never had a problem. Some pretty big jumps and hard landings too back in the early amateur days, lol. The stock axle is pretty strong but I didn't personally like the feeling. When you put spacers on instead of the axle you get a different feeling in the rear end imo and has less cornering control. Maybe that's just me but I believe the difference in flex could be a partial cause. Call me crazy if that doesn't make sense.
