about a year ago my dad wanted to widen his 250ex after he rolled it and messed up his knee (tore 2 or 3 tendons)
so i told him to buy the diamondjcustoms kit, so he did and he loves it. this year he bought spacers for the rear to match the front, but the rear is still narrower by a little bit.

it handles great, can do slides in 5th gear pinned at glamis, and has no tendency to flip at all. (thats me driving not him:rolleyes: )

a lot of people say that this kit creats major bumpsteer! NOT true, it has less than my 400ex. it is as smooth as it can be with stock shocks, feels like a cadilac compared to stock. :cool:

heres a couple pics of before and after.

Cool man. Just watch out with those wheel spacers. They put added stress on your axle which makes your axle bend much easier (I.E. Large jumps, hard landings etc...);)

no jumps with the 250, cuz its not mine
i told him that it adds stress but he wanted to do it anyway.
