ok im thinkin about gettin some wheel spacers on ebay. the ones i want are all metal and screw on to the bolts that already exist. 4 seperate spacers for each hub. any body else have some of these and do they help for handleing and what not?

here are the ones i was lookin at. dont hondas all have the same bolt pattern and threads.

i mainly ride trails and just a few small small jumps here and there. i dont race mx or anything. im just looking for a wider front end and better handleing.

i am not a fan of wheel spacers especially on the front. i had some on my mojave a while back and they actually made it handle worse because the bumpsteer was terrible....JMO

WE run those on our balster for flattrack & thye work GREAT (no stress yet) makes it much better handling!! I think they may be "a little" better than the durablue cuz they aren't as heavy? I have some aluminum ones on the rear of my 300 & thye are pretty heavy on the hub in fact I just replaced my hubs NO MORE JUMPING FOR ME W/ THEM:o :p it could also have something to do w/ major bumping @ the races, cuz thats the side it was on :devil:
But you should be just fine on the trails, now if they are TIGHT trails then you probably won't like them it can get a little tight LOL

Wheel spacers are a very bad idea for any type of riding. I wouldn't run them even if they paid me too.

i ride mostly smooth trails and stuff like that, would that wear anything out as fast/faster with 3 inch wheel spacers?
