    Whats the commom set back on a Euro with the newer 500 lb motors?

    I have a 225 Sport XS on my Euro which weighs around 505 lbs. and have seen guys now days with 10" or even 12". When I purchased my Euro back in 2010 the Bobs 5.5" plate was the "norm". With the new heavy motors is there any value in additional set back... props/coms?

    Anyone? I see a lot of older posts but figured that there may be some recent testing and tuning. I have the 5.5 Bobs plate and was going to change it to a 8" but not sure what the additional few inches will do with regard to the "bounce" and handling.
