Default Holeshots on a Wolverine?

I'll keep you posted but it looks like it might be a delay. I go to a prep school but I am proposing instead of playing a mandatory spring sport, I am going to buy a used 125 (CR YZ or maybe KX) and completely strip and rebuild it. rebuild the whole engine. I have always wanted a racing bike but never found it practical cause I didn't want to spend what little free time I had working on it and I didn't have the money to buy a nice one. Now I can buy a cheap one, get it running well, beat the **** out of it, and sell it at the end of this summer for more than it cost me.

Default Holeshots on a Wolverine?

Just last weekend I finally took my 20"Razr tires & 10"ITP wheels down to the tire shop to be assembled. After I got them back, I installed DuraBlue wheel spacers. I think it was 1 1/2" for the front & 2" wider in the the back. (You will have to use the spacers). After I got all of the nuts tightened down I took it out for a test ride.

The fun factor on the Wolve is way up there now. The lightweight wheels & tires really add some acceleration to the 350. Plus the low profile ride really makes it look aggresive. I havent jump it yet or took to mud hole but will do soon. I'll try to post some pics soon.

ya i would like to se those pics too. DO the weel spacers change the bolt patern so you can use rims that are not made for the wolverine. if so were do you get them . i might need them because i might get 10 inch itp c seris aluminum rims with 22 inch tires, but i dont think the bolt patterns are the same. could i get spacers that give me the same pattern as a raptor??

Don't the wheel spacers make the bars really jerk your wrists when you hit even small things? I had offset rims on mine and couldn't stand it. It ruined the "fun" feel.

Nah I need a 4x4 for light work/lots of play.... I take my little recon out mudding all the time, i NEED A 4X4 AND bigger motor !!!! I want something I can jump a lil bit, I want a wolverine !!!! The recon is actually near satisfactory for what I play in, but some good tires on the wolvy, and 100 more cc, and 4 wheel drive should be ALOT better .... =)
