Sandy Josh Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 If I flipped the front wheels to make the deep end stick out will it hurt anything an work as extensions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
mikesampley Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah, Dont do it, I tried it and the wheels lock and smash into your a arms, not fun in 4th gear. Just buy a arms if you can afford them. Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 I've run flipped wheels for 10+ years. But you have to plug the old valve stem and install a new one since flipping the wheels will knock the original valve stem off with the brake caliper. I have +2+1 arms now…..but I still run flipped wheels on my kids Raptor 80's. Flipping the fronts is the FIRST budget mod you do to a Banshee. Quote
Boston Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Funny story. Did this once and showed up to the dunes and had two flat tires within a minute of riding. 1 Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Did that before years ago and like windy said gotta plug and put new valve stem on other side. Cheap mod to extend for sure. Your calipers are not protected as much when you do this though. No issues with it though Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 you have to plug the old valve stem and install a new one since flipping the wheels will knock the original valve stem off with the brake caliper. See, you wouldn't have that problem if you also ran the 3" spacer like Skeeter said...pure genius I tell ya. Quote

bansheefromhell Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Makes it really a easy for the handle bars to ripped out of your hands when you move the wheels out from the spindle. Quote
kennygene Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 I heard of flipped wheels and tried it long ago... Glad I got all the dumb shit out of my system when I was a kid. Quote
87sheerips Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 I run the offset douglas wheels, which is like flipping your stockers. Love it. Do it. These other snobs need to get a clue, or buy one from somebody. I think Skeeter is sold out at the moment. Quote
