articcatsux,

What you lose in traction in the back wheels, you gain in the front. By this I mean, you may not be able to wheelie as well as you did before, but your take offs are less exciting because the front end stays on the ground. My quad will still come up under perfect conditions, (I.E. pavement, grass and packed dirt) but the assurance of knowing that I won't flip it over on hill climbs makes it worth it. If you want wheelies I suggest you get a shorter than 3" swingarm. Preferably about 2". You will also need a new chain for it and possibly a new brake line if you have one of the newer concentric drive models.

 

What kind of bike do you have? Try turning the front wheels around. On a SP500, this equates to 8 inches of gained width! A friend of mine did it to his and it did look goofy at first. Then we went riding. Lateral stability was greatly improved, although I am not sure if I want to do the same to my ride. If you do turn the wheels around, be CERTAIN that your valve stems do not hit the brakes...
