I am torn between getting a JTM 4.5 inch extension or a Sparks Avenger +6. The price difference is about $125. What do you guys think? Will a +6 be too much for my nitrous Rappy? I love riding wheelies, but I may have to cut down so I can actually get a good run. Right now it is dam near uncontrollable on the bottle.

 

You can purchase the Avenger set-up for $420 ish? I do not see that happenning....maybe the swingarm alone. If you are at the track, a wheelie bar is the way too go.

 

I like my +6 hillshooting and duning
My dad likes his +4 better for hillshooting and duning

I am faster through the whoops than him but his front end is lighter

 

The Sparks is used. Would a +6 be way too long for my bike when I am off the bottle?

By the way, RapFam, I really like the way the +6 looks on yours.

Thanks for your guys' opinions.

Thats a good price...they are sharp too. The +6 would definately be too much if you are stock. My Tucker +4 is perfect for my stage 1 HC and 10.75/1 JE Rap. I can get the front end up when necessay and it stays down when I need it too stay down. A stock Raptor should come with a +2" longer swingarm IMO.

 

Get the +4 if you want to be able to keep the front end down while riding, but I think the nitrous would probaly lift the front with the +4. I would say the +6 will definetly keep you in control. So it's really what you want to do with the extension..

 

So,what you are saying is, you don't know, but you think you know, but it is up to him?

Basically it comes down to what he wants to do with his Raptor.

The +4 will help keep it down and still make it easy to ride on trails. Don't have to have the best shock to jump with a +4.

The +6 will definetly keep it down for racing, but it makes it rougher on trails because of the lenght. It's harder to turn, and bottoms out more on jumping without a good shock.


So it all comes down to what he wants to do with his Raptor.

 

I have more problems with traction than I do with wheelieing with my JTM extension..........I think the +6 would be too long.....the 4.5 should be about right.....IMO
