Tao Bull 200 - Wheel Spacers and what shocks?

[crabjoe]

I've got the quad on order but would like to install some 2" spacers when I get it. Anyone know if 4x110 with 74 or 84mm bore would work?

In addition, I'd also like to install some RFY shocks during the initial assembly. I see that partskit lists the front shocks at 400mm. Can someone confirm if 400mm is the over all length or if that's an eye to eye measurement?

BTW if not RFY, what other brand might you recommend? May anything that's an air shock is better than stock?

Thanks all!

It's probably the same as my Coolster 150. It will be a Honda bolt pattern. 4x110 , 74mm hole.

I used 400mm for the front and 320's for the rear. Do the rear also.

Are those measurements eye to eye or overall length?

Thanks!

Are these things hub centric? If not, I guess I just need to know the minimum size bore I need. What's throwing me off is on one website, they have spacers listed for it, but they're saying they're 89mm. I'm like why does a small ATV have hubs that need 89mm?

If they're 74mm, that would be great because I'd rather have more wall thickness in the spacers.

These are the ones i bought for my daughter UTV which i tried and fit my Coolster 150. I installed 25" Stock Honda tires and rims on the UTV and put the UTV tires and Aluminum rims on the Coolster. The rims from the UTV look like the same ones that come with the Bull 200.

Thanks!

As for the shock eyelets, it seems they're all 12mm. When I look at the bolt on Partskit, it looks like 10mm bolts are used.

I can't seem to find shocks with 10mm eyelets. Most say they come with a pair of 10mm eyelets, but that means I can only install one shock.

Are you guys reusing the eyelet inserts from the oem shocks?

[SevereTrauma]

The shocks I got came with 12mm and 10mm inserts. I also picked up some 10mm from Amazon cheap. I did reuse the pieces from the old shocks also though for at least the rear. Don't recall if I needed to for the front. www.ourazadventures.com has a link to the shocks I bought.

Let us know if you get wheel spacers how they work out. I didn't put any on mine. Not sure it needs it or not but I like upgrades

Problem is, I gotta see when they're even going to get them in stock. I started shopping for a little 50cc scooter and called a local dealer. They only sell Tao, but scooters only. They told me Tao hasn't shipped anything to the US since December. Said their distributor told them they had no idea when anything was going to make it to port because of Covid. And what was in the warehouse is what's available..

If what they said is true, this wait for the Bull 200 might be a lot longer than the end of May. I hope Q9 has better info than my local Tao dealer.
