Hey guys just wondering what your thoughts were on converting an 08 ds450 to mx.
I have the bcs reinforcement kit as well as the update to the swingarm pivot.
Do you think the 08 frame can take the wider with a-arms and axle?
Not sure how serious I am about it, because I trail ride alot but I'd like to know I have the option.

Yes, most can-ams are 08s that are raced.

The Frames are all the same arent they? I mean for the most part, Just different A arms, axles, shocks,

I know the hardware used in pivot point where the swingarm attaches is different, and IIRC there is a 4 row bearing carrier in the rear end.
Also I have the bcs reinforcment kit, but wasnt sure how an 08 would handle the stress or being wider up front and in the back.
Thanks for all the input!!
