i was wondering what advantage do wheel spacers have

 

Wheel spacers help out alot in off camber spots,makes it alot more stable!They also work really well for mud riders,so you dont have to track in someone else's rut's!

 

this weekend is a good example where i could bite the sides of the hole and where everyone else was just churning mud and water.


i have 1 1/2 spacers on the rear and nothing up front now. the rear is narrower than the front.

 

Won't wheel spacers put undue stress on the wheel bearings and driveline components? With big boots on, I would think you'd have a lot of problems with this stuff. Any negative experiences would be helpfull before I take the plunge

 

The biggest thing you have to watch with spacers is getting the bike wedged between 2 deep ruts. If you get it wedged and gas on it, the axles are history.

 

the way it is sounding your axels are history regardless,but yes and another thing,going through trees is tough. But mine is not as bad now since all of my wheels are dished the same! I have 12 x 7 c series, and i have the spacers on the rear since the stock cats come with the front wider than the rear. Stock it is exactly 1 1/2 inch wider in the front than the rear,so thats why i have the spacers on the rear. It helps alot! It is unbelieveablr how much batter my cat rides now. It steers better and pulls better,and I have more HP than I did.
I will have some more pics psted in about 1 hour

 

I did however take the rear spacers off,as a matter of fact im selling them on ebay!

 

Thanks CatKrazy for selling me the spacers, and taking care of a fellow forum buddy....
