nice quad

it was smart of you to put those brakes on there
some people dont understand that braking and sudpension and handling is the most important thing on the quad because if you want to go fast you gotta slow down some time especialy in xc racing. And same thing with suspension you got to soak up those bumps with all that power

nice quad though it looks tough

i have a stock shock thats revalved and dual rate. i just sent out a check to get a actual custom axis rear to match the fronts.

what did you have to do to make the 450R calipers fit? Did you use the stock EX master cylinder? Nice quad.

i modified the conversion brackets that convert a 400ex to 250r calipers. i didnt like how thin the 250r pads were and pappy sold me these nice 450r calipers. so i modified the brakets and they fit up perfect. i used my stock master cylinder and it works perfect great modulation and pads will now last a 100 times longer.

just ordered everything to do the 450r caliper in the rear.

nice quad, just one problem with it. That week DG bumper isn't gonna do the trick. You did the right thing with the PRM skidz, why not the PRM, tree smasher.

That is mean, mean, mean lookin'. That thing has a; "please beat the livin' crap out'a me" look to it. Some look too pretty! Not that one! Well done. Pure function.
