I am running the stock swingarm but want to get an extended one. Most of my riding is in the sand and I'm wanting to keep the front end down to help retain some bragging rights on the drag strip:D I am going to get a +2 or +4. So my question, does anyone have experience with a +4? I'm concerned that it will make the bike handle to poorly in the tight trails sections at the dunes.
Got any advice?

Go with a 2. You can still throw it around.

I just got in my chrome +2 from Boss Racing ( Inlandatv.com) that they warrenty for lifetime of the bike from breaking unless youg et the aluminum sand model. I order the MX model since i use my bike in mostly sand but in hard dirt also once in a while. I'm gonna install it sometime int he next few weeks and will definitly have some pics of it...

Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like not too many people are running a +4 on a 400ex. There must be a reason for that, it's only good for going in a straight line;)
