    84 250r wider rear stance?

    ok i remember reading some where that i can put on some rear hubs off of some other trike or quad that will widen my rear stance by an inch or more.

    i want to use my stock rear rims and stock rear axle. or if another rear axle (easily found) will do this.

    any help with this would be great.

    thanks!!!!!!

    Or you could get your @ZZ off the seat and ride it right. Just a thought. Lean in and gas it. I can peel a stock 84R sideways on dry pavement. (I don't suggest anyone try this) Why Can't you?
    Our bike (I have the same model) is built VERY well. Maybe you just need lessons.
    Sorry if I sound righteous but I can. What are you riding through that you need an extended axle?

    WOW can I have your autograph? Can you really do that? What's the best way to ride devils dune?




    Seriously he was asking how to widen his bike. Not how to ride. Yes in the past I tried spacers and yes I hated them. I like the stock stance with 3/5 spaced wheels. I do not like them wider. If it was me I would go the 3/5 wheels and make sure your washers spacers are before the hub not after and leave it. But that is my opinion.

    Yep, buy some quality new or used wheel spacers on eBay. You should be able to find 1.5" or 3" sets. Only takes a few minutes to bolt them on and away you go.

    400ex/300ex hubs are the ones that are commonly used to get a couple inches. Im not positive they will work with your axle/rims but im pretty sure they do. (check before you buy them)
    current rides:
    05' 400ex
    02' yz85
    84' 200es big red
    84' 200s with tlr200 engine project (almost done)
    84' atc 110
    83' 225dx with 340cc kohler sled engine

    400ex or 450r hubs will fit and fit the lug pattern on the rear wheels. It will make it 3-4" wider.

    400ex hubs will give you a wider stance... and are a direct swap.. im running dura blue 2.5 spacers on my x and love them...

    Three wheeler guys probably have the biggest balls out of all the ATV/Motorcycle riders. You just have to be a little twisted to ride them, and you have to be a great rider to do so.

    yes, stock 400ex or 450r hubs will make it 3-4" wider. The reason is the 83/84 250r and 83-85 200x hubs are flat(no offset). Most of the newer hubs have a 1.5 - 2" offset in them.
