ct racing pipe and k&n filter with outer wear 500$

nerf bars 170$

sand-sports rear axel spacers 100$

need sand tires for Pismo only a few trips a year i was thinking sand stars??? 170$

I am going to assume you do some jumping when you ride because you want elkas. If you hit jumps more than a couple feet high I would suggest that instead of putting wheel spacers on the thin stock axle that you spend a little more and get an aftermarket axle instead. My neighbor had a 660 for a while, which had wheel spacers on it when he got it. He ended up bending the rear axle from landing a little sideways off of a jump about 3-4 feet high, which wouldn't have bent an aftermarket axle or the stock one without spacers. I suggest the g-force axle because of the cost, and it seems just as good as a durablue eliminator. Rockymountainatv has them for 200+shipping rockymountainatv.com - gforce racing axle

For my warrior I flipped the original valve stem on the wheel so the stem is inside of the rim, then I drilled a hole on the other side of the wheel and put a new stem in, and installed the wheel flipped opposite of what it would normally be, which widened it up 3-4 inches for a couple bucks. I think this will work with all yamahas. Pretty much converts your stock rim into an offset rim, the only side effects are you get more bump steer than usual, and the shock will be softer. Same thing as wheel spacers do. I actually did this for the front and rear of my warrior right after I bought it and it's still working great. You can see how much wider mine is than a stock warrior in my pics
