spoin39 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Actually -1 swingarm and a +1 forward A-arms is the best. Of course the A-arm would be a +2 or +3 wide also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't regret it. As for your buddies with the EX's...for MX on a 400ex many people will extend the swingarm +1. I wouldn't mind doing that to the g/f's EX sometime. But she'll wait until I got the banshee how I want it...probably never. hehe Ride on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
