Default 50cc Extra suggestions
Ok guys..I want a good 3D Extra 300 or 260 for a DA 50..Only one Ive ruled out is the Comp Arf's..not because I dont like them but because I know I will ding it up and cant paint worth a crap..repairing Ultracote is MUCH easier

Any suggestions would be helpful..so far Ive looked at Airwild, Aeroworks, and BME

The aero-works 260 or the airwild 260 would be your best bet. Don't forget to look at the new 260 from Dietrich Performance.

Oh ok..actually out of ALL of them that is the best looking IMO..Excellent color scheme..Do you get a lot of wing rocking in harriers ? Also, can you run the stock exhaust without chopping up the cowl ?

No wing rock but you do have to chop the cowl a little for the stock exhaust.
15.5lbs dry weight.

Thats pretty good for weight..I was checking out their new website..looks like they have a slightly different color scheme but it still is great lookin...

So as far as the cowl, do you need to cut out alot on the bottom or out the side ? The bottom I can live with...

Thanks

I have the original Edge...well..lets just say I was a little disappointed in it..I know Tom has re-designed it and the Extra but for now I want to try something different.
