extended axle VS. spacers ??
extended axle VS. spacers ??
What, if any is the difference between buying an extended rear axle OR buying spacers? Spacers seem to be much cheaper than a new rear extended axle.
What about the front? I am seeing companies make front spacers as well. Is this a good alternative versus aftermarket a-arms? What are the pros and cons here?

problem with using spacers on front or even flipping the rims for a wider offset is that it puts the center of the tire father away from the ball joints and makes steering real crazy. It also puts the tire father away from the shock mounting adding extra loads to it. Which means stronger springs and/or valving "may" be needed.
On the back it would be the issue of just adding extra stress to the axel and it bending.

bent axle
I bent the stock axle on my moto, but i over shot a step up so bad I dont even know how far to much. But the quad cart wheeled about 5 times and landed back on its wheels. It poped 3 tires off the rim and bent my axle that was it. I bought a lonestar and gave my friend my bent axle, he MX's too, he straightened it and hasn't bent it yet so it seems to be a real tough axle. I am sure had I been on my 250R that night I would have been buying a frame and hard to tell what else.
Good luck,
Ryan
I would buy and axle though they are worth it!

Triple WOW!!! :wow
Actually I was there, didn't see the wreck (he was behind me) but I did see all the dust and the bike carwheeling on that lane of the track. I thought he was dead or something.
Hey Ryan, give me a call, maybe you can hook up with us at Hatfield tomorrow. It would be kinda nice to have another Cannondale there. We are serving Honda Pie around 10:30 am.
