Finally got my trusty ol 230 outta the basement and fixed back up after not giving her any attention for about a year and a half. My buddy just got a new 400EX and I have no problems leaving him in the dust flying through the woods. God I love my Quadsport. Can anyone tell me how well the different brands of wheel spacers hold up? I don't do too much jumping mostly just fast trail riding. I want to attempt to make a set of wider a arms this winter ( just got a tube bender) but I dunno how they will turn out. Also does anyone know of any company that makes a rear shock that is cheaper than Works or maybe a shock from anoth quad that will fit? My rear shock is pretty much dead and my muffler takes a beating coming down from jumps.

Earlier in this thread it was said the a warrior rear mono will work on the 230s.

shock wise if you want better landings and handling.

a 350 warrior rear shock is a great cheap fix and way beeter at soaking up bumps and what not

lt250r front shocks set on the lowest preload setting will make you cry over how much better the steering is.

as for a arm extensions i dunno i know if you extend them out 2 inches 300ex honda shocks come into play there,
