ok i understand!

i'll check that myself in a couple of days irl with a folding meter stick or something like that. the tires a quite new, so i should do that as early as possible, especially the front wheels. maybe i buy some spacers too later. but not that alluminium chineses crap but proper, aproved ones, from a german manufacturer! i own my 2006 Banshee just since week or so btw. got it with low hours and mint condition from a certified motocycles/quad dealer for a "collector's price" i'm very excited already, to drive that damn thing the first time on public roads

I dont know if i'd do the front that way, it effects steering, and if it's alot it'll put a strain on the bearings. The correct way is wider Aarms & axle. you can get away with it in the back i'm not sure how it will effect the front on a street application. It seems theres alot around you, maybe i'd ask somebody local. cant ride on the streets here in 'Merica

yeah, i already heard about the laws in the US. you are alowed to ride a ATV in public, but on road sides only, at least in most states. in germany, the laws are quite strict too, if not more strictly. first of all, a Quad/ATV will be handled as a Car because it has 4 wheels, it needs its papers and needs to be insured by a insurance company in any case, like any other vehicle too. 2. the vehicle needs to be registered by the traffic office (don't know the english name) of the county where you live. after that, license plates will be issued (not for free). two of them, for the front & rear, at least 20x20 centimeters big that fucking thingies. really silly! but with a trick, you could register the quad as a sort of " tractor unit" for the agricultural sector, but still allowed to drive it anywhere you want...including cities and highways. this sort registration/insurance is lot cheaper and the taxes are lower than for other vehicles. but the quad needs some alterations then, which could cost around 1000 bucks more in the end, if the alterations have not been made already. the most important alteration is the coupling device (mostly attached to the excenter of the axle) and the lights need also some alterations. winkers and mirrors as well must be attached. other alterations, such as louder exhausts and pipes, are very hard to get approved by the traffic authorities. for the Banshee (since it is a 2 stroker lol), it's almost impossible to find Pipes/Exhausts that can be legally attached. such parts need quality checks and such crap, along with a document by the manufacturer. after one found such tuning parts and some other criteria fit, the vehicle papers will get an entry for that particular part, which also cost some fees more. 

anyways..to cut a long story short. i would say, out of 99% of every Banshee on the German roads, especially with FMF exhausts/pipes (as a example), are illegal. that means the insurance and permission is gone automatically while its owners still continue to pay their taxes, at least until they get catched for the first time by a bad-tempered cop^^

so, owning and driving a more- or less rare Banshee here, is to some extent luxury. for the Shee itself including all other expenses, i already spent almost 10k. interesting isn't it? 😄
