Im wanting to do this now, looking forward to your write up man.

Ok got another set of calipers in today and these came with pads... so as requested, I installed them and did a write up.

Just click the link because I wrote it up in the tutorials section. Not sure if its sticky worthy, but heck as long as it helps people out that's all that matters.

Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you need any more photos.

I got a set of calipers and master cylinder for 57 shipped to throw on my warrior. Is the rear caliper on the warrior a single piston? Would the YFZ rear caliper be dual piston as well? I may look for one of those if it's really an upgrade.

does anyone know if the rear yfz G-Force extended hubs will fit a G-Force warrior axle ?

 

[duneracerweston]

Ya they will but those have a tendancy to crack and break but I was wondering if you welded a peice of 1/8th inch inbetween the stus to make it shaped like a bowl like the durablue extended hubs

Just find a set of 2009+ YFZ-R rear hubs... they won't crack and add 3/4" per side or 1 1/2" overall

But it you run those g force ones with a stock axle it puts u at 48or so if you use the 09+ style 3.5in offset for a total of 5 inches

Another cheap way to widen stock rear axle is honda 450r hubs slid right on mine I think im close to 50 inches wide with offset douglas wheels but the hubs alone gave me 2 inches

I still can't find any for sale ANYWHERE, Any suggestions??

ebay with a hawks eye

dont know if it is too late but you can find these hubs in an extended version on ebay for aroung 110 new made from aluminum. They say they are 1 3/4 inch wider than stock yfz450R hubs, so that would mean a total of 5" extension over stock warrior rear hubs if I'm correct. Would that cause too much strain on the lugs? if not then it's a great way to get much needed width in the rear


they are manufactured by g force if that helps determine quality

they have steel hub inserts for added reliability

 

[duneracerweston]

If you do that you will normally break the hubs the g force ones are bad about that

Just have to watch eBay and also check out the for sale and parting out sections of other forums. They are harder to find since it is a new(er) bike, but they are out there.

Isn't the Honda bolt pattern different?

I need new front calipers anyway... should I get the YFZ calipers? Is there anyother upgrade I need to do?

I haven't done it personally but from what I've understood in this thread it's a bolt-on deal.

Cool.
