4.5 is more than enough, any more than that and I think it will just be over kill

I think I will probably get the +4. My friends all want me to get the +6 based mostly on looks, which would look badazz, but I want it to be functional as well. I think the +4 will be about perfect because I will hopefully be able to keep the front end down when I want and wheelie when I want. I also think a set of marvin Shaws are in order down the road.

I agree +4 would be enough for flat drags. For hills a +6. Thesickone may still have his +3 for sale, that would be about perfect and still pretty rideable.

Mine definately needs more. I'm running the JTM +4.5" extension. And my Rappy will easily toss you off the back, on Haulers, if you launch too hard. For general dune/trail riding a +4 is perfect for a built motor.
