sgilbert said:why put a plain shaft there when you can add wheels with it. I added 6 wheels and have 1500 poor cond, no wear

duh
well the shaft is up higher, to eliminate flexing and the wheels wouldnt touch.
on another point, i have NO wear after the tip up, so y add wheels there? you like extra weight??
Oh and to get back to thread, i vote XTX, becuase its alot easier to do undertunnel exhaust when ur not dealing with extensions and crap. very nice to have the room back there for a fuel can and tunnel pack.
doo can and sled solutions mini fit fine if you remove shroud from taillight.

To reinforce stock 144" rail gussets use additional OEM Yamaha cross shaft. Yes, the rails do not have the same cross section as 121" rails. However, for those that have bent 144" rails is mainly due to to gussets not holding up. This is what I've done to mine, I run my skid 100% uncoupled with countless tail landings with 0 problems. Ross at Hygear has bent his during testing and suggested for those concerned. Very simple improvement...
Cool....what kind of cost we talking about?
Approximately $30..
