Cannitor,

Hey, what brand are your extended swingarms? Does anyone use a stock-extended one? I have a Lonestar +2" coming any day now. And I've seen the extended stock ones on the web. Just curious to know how it does in trails as well. thanks

The full Monty widetrack treatment is great if you have the dough, but if you want to vastly improve handling and suspension, just get a durablue axle and a pair of works shocks for the front. You can live with the front width if the back is widened up, and the rear shock is pretty okay.

Hey, Fourlix, I'm a big fan of Junkyard Wars. Watch it as much as my wife lets me. Have you seen the new Junkyard Wars toys? They have different sets. They're like little model kits, you can make more than one project with each box. They look pretty cool. Also, I do have extended a-arms up front, an extended axle and soon an extended +2" swingarm. I should be about 3 inches over stock length. I think I should be just about right. The only thing I need is some new front shocks. Hopefully, I should have those by next week or so. I found some Works shocks triple rate w/res for about $400.00 already set up for my weight. I'm pumped. Going to the Oregon dunes on the first weekend of next month.

my rear revalve was done by tcs
my swingarm is lonestar +2(save a few bucks by buying direct from eyeball engineering who actually manufactures them for lonestar)
i was hesitant about the +2 when i ordered it but WHAT A DIFFERENCE
i should have done the swingarm as my 1st mod
your actually putting all that hp on the ground,huge difference
we mainly ride tight trails here in fla.and it works perfect
yamaha should make it the stock dimension

vraptor why did you use the tall xcts, 23&22s right, and then get a lowering kit? Also why would you want to lower it for desert riding? I have never done it but all I have read about it they are normally tall. Just currious about your setup.
