awesome lookin bike. hows that handle havin it stock width in the rear?

Not to bad. I have a new axle coming in the VERY near future though. Think i'm gonna give the G-Force a shot and see how it does.

By the way, pay no attention to the giant 20" rears. I had my 18" sitting in the corner and just forgot to put them back on.

What kind of A-arms are those?

What's with your upper shock mounts, do you have a lower kit on there?

Ok, here's the story with those mounts. When I purchased those, I had also just purchased a cam, 440 kit, elka shocks on all ends, LRD pipe, CDI Box, all new tires, rear rims, scoops, and on and on. Well, since it appeared as though I had already pushed my luck with the wife, I was guessing, new extended A-arms were out of the question.

After a little research I found this widening kit on e-bay for, at the time, about 150 bills. I figured heck, it's worth a try, and if something breaks, well now I have an excuse to give the wife as to why I need new a-arms.

I have had these now for a little over two years and they are perfect. They widened the front by 6" total, and with the shock mounts added, they keep all of the stock geometry.

Now keep in mind I'm only racing 4 or 5 times a year, and the rest of my time is spent on practice tracks. I have had a couple decent crashes and nothing has bent or broken yet! I ahev thought about getting some real a-arms, but until I NEED them, I'll just keep riding these.

Im running UPDOG backgrounds. They didn't have 400 ones in stock when i stopped by so i just bought universals and did a little trimming on the front. UPDOG has great graphics, very thick!!!
