Is it all 2004s which have the shorter swingarm, or just the Baja Xs?

A pro-wedge will rub because it grows alot.

Thanks all...especially TheBom! I hadn't thought of the shorter swing arm problem. I think I'd rather have the longer arm on the '03s.

What do you run on yours TheBom?

I run the oshsu's and the pro-wedges. These are about the best for St Joes unless your ridding in the rocks.


They make a paddle brat paddle tire that would fit but you are looking at some $.

I need to get something for riding at St. Joes. I just sit there and spin everytime I try to race anyone.

It will be a lot closer than you think. At least on dirt, until I get some paddles. I like the DS, just wanted something a little different, that, and I think that the potential for the v-twin is much better than anything else out there.

Actually, I think that other than the weight of that 700 it has great potential. You can really hop up a twin. Probably get up to around an 800+cc's out of it when the kits start being produced. The automatic might siphon off some power but i think maybe not having to shift will make up for it. Are they producing the high compression sleeves and piston sets yet?
