   I got kind of stupid yesterday and ordered 2" spacers for all 4 hubs.......  I know it's not like running 2+ arms but I just wanted to try it out.  My front end widening kit (which I loved) wouldn't fit with the CCP so I can't use it anymore.  :(

I have those because of wheel offset error. THey work great for the rear, fronts... never tried. Steering might be Jerky, but your on ice who cares?

Big black tires, Lots of shiny metal stuff, some stinky oily stuff inside, AM/FM 8-track hi-fi system, Leopard skin seat cover, Fuzzy dice, curb feelers, a "soccer mom" license plate, and a "my other bike's a Bayou" bumper sticker.

  It'll look like a spider on the ice..  :lol:

+3 arms +2 widening kit, lowered, +2 studs. Dude, that would be like +16 total.  :grin_nod:  Better flip the rims FTW!  :lol:
Forget that 50" business. ;) i' M TALKING 65" :lol:

  The one thing I was told by a few of the guys that race ALOT is that the Rath tires feel spongy because of the pyramid shape taking away some meat on the knobby.  I'm not that good so I don't know if I'll feel it or not.....

A quad that wide might be pretty hard to pass...though I'm not sure how well it'll turn either.  Never tried it any wider than the 50" or so I have now.

   That would be my strategy!!   No one could pass my slow-ass!   :lol:

   Feb 7th is our big ice-party up here.  If anyone want's to come over I'll set you up!!  We'll have grills going and lots of good riding.  You'd love the group, no head-cases and everyone helps each other out.  :thumbs:

I would totally hug the middle too. And slide as far sideways as possible.

I'd need some giant friggin' nerf bars though. :lol:

 My nuts didn't show yesterday so tonight will be a mad rush to get them done so I can re-mount them Friday and run Sat.  :(

Here's a few pics of the tires studded before I tuned them.

   Here's a few of us plowing the tracks last Sat.  There's a full sized oval, an 1/8 mile drag strip, a .94 mile road coarse, a kiddie oval, and parking for 20-30 trucks.  :thumbs:

  Takes about 2 hours to plow everything with 2 bikes.

You could check with Brad @ RPM Axle, he is working on a kit thats similiar to Diamond J Customs kit on ebay & will be Super Moto worthy....seems like a great way to lower the quad & widen it  :thumbs:

   Sounds good but will it fit with a CCP Stabilizer?   ???
