With just spacers in the front the back does the shift. You don't feel inclined to counter steer but it is still a weird noticeable shift.

With both spacers on, the cart still has a shift but it's so minute, definitely does not feel like it's going to tip at all.

The only downside now is that with 2 inch spacers all around mud/water will definitely sling up the side. Now just need flared fenders of some kind.
So that's how I got dirt and mud on the underside of my roof canopy !

Nah! All the things I want, different bumper, cooler box under back seat, tinted windshield, flared fenders, are not even made for the icon. Pretty safe with the wife until 3rd party products picks up and it does not look like that will be anytime soon unless it's something universal that already exists.

It seems like a lot of the Yamaha stuff may fit these carts. The carts are definitely not completely unique. I just hate gambling to see if other stuff fits the cart.
