Wheel Spacers

« on: March 26, 2005, 06:07:24 AM »

I'm thinking about getting some wheel spacers on my Prairie 360. It seems like a good idea to widen the stance for handling but is there a downside to them? In time will they cause more wear on anything? Thanks - Scott

Wheel bearings do not like them, tougher to steer and fit on tight trails. Do not get the graphite or composite ones, they crack. Stick to the aluminum ones.

I have billet aluminum spacers on the front of my bike,biggest drawback is fitting down narrow trails........but then again if it's not a place that you need to "tread lightly",then I just make my own trails........dont get me wrong,not encouraging you ro run over tree's!

I have 1.50" spacers on the rear only of my praire 650
with 27" mudlights & c5 rims, works great, no ware problums
just watch how much load you have!!!! don,t put them on the front end! bad for front end bearings & tie rods [smiley=abduct2.gif] Grin
