I am looking to increase the width of my Raptor for better handling. I was told the cheapest way to do this is by adding Spacers in the front and back from Dura blue. Does anyone have feedback on how this make the bike handle? thanks

 

Don't know how it will handle, but I've heard these are the best on the market....www.sand-sport.com

 

Please dont go with Dura blue, I had the worst support and fitting problem from them and have others tell me the same.

I went with Sandsports and they are awesome. Makes the bike handle alot differently, you just have to watch out for trees and boulders that you normally would drive by because of the width change.

 

i have the sand sport spacers too, they are the best. here is another spacer just like the sand sports www.dmiracing.com . i found them after i bougt the sand sports

 

Would someone with some sand-sport spacers send me a couple of close up pics please. From what I see on their website, I'm not sure I like how they bolt up. I want to see if it is just the way the pic looks. Thanks.

I have the spacers that just screw on the studs......I love them....and it made it handle MUCH better


and the suspension isn't too soft for me
and the only time you get bent axles is when you jump with them on.........and they are NOT recomended for jumping

 

What kind of jumping is to much?

Would you recommend just putting spacers on the rear?

 

I would put them on the front before I would the rear.......the axle is the only thing that I have messed up.....and I jumped mine off of a 10' drop in 3rd gear......about 5 times in one day ........then the next day I got on the highway and noticed it vibrating.......
but on dirt you don't even feel it cause it is rough anyway....

 

I have a pair of custom made aluminum 2 1/2 spacers completely bolt on nothing extra to do for sale $75 for the back and some +3+! arms for the front $450 and a bunch of other raptor goodies. PM with e-mail address and I can send some pics of my goodies!!!

 

If you ride MX, dont waste your money. The only place I could really tell they helped was on a flat dirt track. Jumping the suspension is too soft, and your twice as likely to bend a tie rod or connecting rod with them.
