Would it be a good idea to get longer a-arms and or a longer swingarm for a 300ex?
If it is a good idea why?

 

Longer A-arms will help with the stability of the quad...as long as you also add a longer axle. Longer swingarms will help keep the front of the quad down if you like to drag. But in my case, I have a +2 on order to help with the whoop sections out in the desert....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

longer swing arm helps with whoops? how is that? i always thought a longer swing arm would jus get hung up on the whoops.

 

With a +2 swingarm...at high speed and longer wheelbase...will help the quad skip over top of whoops instead of having the stock rear drop into whoops....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

what are wheel spacers?
could i use them to make wider?
could i use on front and back?

 

kool. what company did u use? i have a 400EX and i'm lookin into gettin a new swing arm. what would u reccomend? i'm thinking that the +2" would be good. what's a good company? any information is good. thanx.

 

I ordered a Tucker Swingarm....I only know of them from word-of-mouth. I paid around $650 for a complete swingarm with all the extra's. Not too sure if they make them for the 300EX....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] Lonestar makes some quality swingarms....I know they have them for the 300EX ...

 

ok thanx. i'm new to all this stuff so i have to ask. if i buy a new swing arm, i will have to get new brake lines, and a new chain. how much will this cost me? will all the stock compnents (axle, bearings, chain sliders/rollers) still work?

 

Lets see...Spacers are an inexpensive way to widen the track of the quad. They bolt to your hub and the wheel bolts to the spacer. They are good if your going to do trail riding or other "on the ground" riding. I hear that they can break if you do a lot of jumping...and also, widening with spacers puts stress on your tie-rods, so you might want to buy an aftermarket set to handle the pressure... They are made for fronts and rears....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

also, would the stock swing arm gaurd still work? i'm sorry for all the questions but i want to know what i need to buy, and what comes with the swing arm
