DuraBlue Wheel Spacers

[warriorrider13]

Are they really worth the $230?

 

[warriorspeed350]

not when you use them and they break off your ball joints its not

Wheel spacers won't break off your ball joints. Where did that come from?

I don't think they're worth the money though, at least on bikes like the warrior that can use offset rims. You can get a set of offset rims, which will widen the quad just the same, along with the added bonuses of looking better than stock wheels, being stronger than stock wheels, and being safer (maybe even lighter weight too).

LOL, yea they wont bust ball-joints. But they can bust your balls!! The ****** ones that u screw on the individual studs are JUNK and are known to break studs. The decent ones are the one piece spacers. But yea, you can get the same effect from flipping your rims.

Fliping your rims? You just flip them and there offset? Wouldnt that hurt somthing?

 

[DeathShadow]

230$!? That is almost a ******* axle!! Screw that!

 

[warriorspeed350]

having stock a-arms and changing your wheel leverage puts more pressure on the ball joints

or at least what ive heard (from father)

and thats why my hah hidnt want to get them

dont you have to cut or drill something to flip them?...im not sure

 

[warriorrider13]

yes, please tell

The rear wheels on the warrior can just be flipped without any modifications, your valve stem will just be on the inside of the wheel, no big deal.

For the front wheels you can put the original valve stem in backwards so it doesn't hit the brake caliper, and drill a hole on the other side of the wheel for a new valve stem.

I can personally vouch that this does not break ball joints, because my wheels have been flipped like this since I bought it, and my front end is still nice and tight like it's supposed to be. I've even bottomed out hard a few times on MX tracks and nothing bent or broke.

 

[warriorrider13]

I dont think I know what a valve stem is?(Spindles maybe,I dunno)

 

[yamarider]

the thing you attach your air compressor to when you need to add air to your tires!

 

[warriorrider13]

ohhhhh!*smacks head* lol I'm ******* slow! I understand how you did that now! WOW! I think I will do that to my quad as soon as shes out of the shop.

It usually costs about $20 to get a shop to do it, and it saves you a lot of trouble. It's definitely worth the time and small amount of money it takes.

I do agree with flipping the rims. But one question....where were you gonna pay 230 for the spacers. I could get a set of front ond backs from durablue for like 140.....

 

[baja226sport]

OH, and not to be a dick....but if your not sure what a valve stem is you shouldn't be trying to make mods on your own.......

 

[warriorrider13]

no, I know what a valve stem is just I never used to call it that.

 

[warriorspeed350]

what did u call it? ... a air fillerupper thinggy

where in new york can you get it done...i called a few shops and they said that they dont do rims that small
or they arent gonna do something like that

 

[yamarider]

a powersports shop - somewhere that repairs quads, motorcycles, etc will be able to do it. If they can mount atv tires then they can do it.
