Yeah, thats what Pud needs to climb the mountains where he lives in West Virginia Wink

BTW, I've ordered the wheel spacers, UNI, intake tube, and 130 jet from BIGE.
Its funny how he's got me figured out. If I even mention here putting some mod part on my buggy he'll call me the next day and say "Hey, I got that part you wanted" and he's got my credit card number commited to memory! One time he even sold me some spark plugs for my Harley, and I didn't even need any. I still haven't figured out how he did that Laughing

My son's 150 came with 3/5 offset rear wheels (not sure terminology is right) with the 5 inch offset towards the frame and the 3 inch offset to the outside. When I had the Swamp Lites mounted on the rims, the tire shop reversed the tread rotation on the rims, which I didn't notice until I got home because they had loaded the tires in my truck. Well I go ahead and mount them on the buggy with the tread rotation in the right direction, and low and behold, the valve stems are on the outside, and I have reversed the offset of the wheels to boot. Didn't take any measurements before or after, but it stands to reason that I picked up around 4 inches in width and no wheel spacers. Sometimes a mistake is the mother of inventions.

Wonder how this happened. Remember where I said I wasn't sure if the terminology was right? Well what happened was that when I had ordered new wheels (rims), the salesman and I misunderstood each other and I received wheels the the offset reversed. I absolutley love the new width. Makes the buggy very stable.

Yeah, this Dazon has the rear wheels you can reverse to get wider and I've done that already, and boy does it help! But BIGE is sending me spacers for both front and rear. My old Talon was a two seater, and although the Dazon (being a one seater) is about 110lbs lighter (therefore 110lbs quicker/faster) it is also narrower and can be rolled over easier. I really like the lightness of the frame but want to regain some of the width I'm used to for stability.

Also too like Pud says, BIGE really takes care of me where the buggy's are concerned. He knows I can get pretty busy here at BuggyNews doing what I do here and he is able to read into my needs and get the parts necessary for me to do my buggy wrenchin', and also give me advise when I need it. He's quite a guy and really has become a good friend. I know the other Dealers here who participate in the forums are great people too, like Tom and Glade for example, I really think they are TOPS! I wish I had the money to buy a buggy from each of the Dealers here (including all I have not named) and just buy mod stuff from each of them every week or so. Life would really be good then eh Wink
