    oh yea forget using wheel spacers thats dangerous! put on a extended axle! spacers dont spin perfect and in east bay I could actually feal my rear tires wobble so much it felt like a high speed vibration, and I would feal my back end slide more becouse of it, now that I got an extended axle I did a bunch of high speed pavement runs and my tires roll perfect.

    You can gear down the 500 as much as you need to get useable power. The power is said to be like a fourstroke because of all the low end grunt. Vforce 3 reeds and a 10 mil reed spacer and you have lots of smooth roll on power.

    As for the swingarm...get out there on the stock lowered chassis, some good tires and worry about how everything works before you go tinkering with length. The 500 is going to demand an extension, be it only a plus one or two for a little more control.

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"
