Ditto. Nice 400ex, I like the clean stock look. I would cut the bottom part of the rear fender off, jmo.

My old quad cleaned up pretty good. That motor runs strong. We have to go riding soon, I want to see how that new pipe runs.

ya they are 450R front shocks. And I might take everyone's opinion and cut off the bottom of the rear fender cause it does look kinda funny now that I think about it.

I rode Dumont this last weekend with my Trinity 440EX with aftermarket carburetor and a blown head gasket. Here are some results. Beat various 450R's that were stock, end cap removed and re-jetted, Big Gun Pipe, and other after-market exhausts. Some 450R's beat me, but less than half. There was 1-450R that was beating everyone. Beat various piped Raptors, some Predators, however I did get beat by some of those with modifications unknown. I stayed close, 2-3 bike lengths with DS650's. I beat like 4 YFZ's stock and piped, but the majority of the machines destroyed me. I beat several Z-400's and I got beat by a z-400 by three bike lengths for the first time (mods unknown). Beat some Banshees and got beat by some Shees. There were a ton of 450R's there which surprised me. One of the funniest things on the week-end was when a guy on a piped 450R called me out----but he would only race me if we started half-way up the hill, past the whoops. A hill without whoops, what a joke!! Needless to say I beat him, when I started at the base of the hill and he started half-way up the hill. I was thinking about unloading my 440EX for $3000 and purchasing a 450R, but many 450R's seemed to have difficulty navigating the whoops and their power output was not much more than the 440EX. I ride mostly track and some dunes. Any input? Thanks


This is a thread from your quad. I can only imagine what it is doing now with your mods.

LOL -

Thats funny Brad. What the best part of that whole story is how its going to end, when I line you up at comp on your old bike and beat you to the top of comp on your new bike.. That will be a shining moment.. Just kidding bro... But I do wanna race you on your new bike.. all in good time.

i have a set of rear fenders that are cut off exactly like those i call them im training fenders becasue i use them to learn new tricks off my fmx rmp makes it 5x easyier than doing it with full fenders, then when i think i got it down good enough ill put my full rear fenders back on and have at it lol and yea your supposed to cut the bottom off at a slant itll look alot better when you do.

Lookin good!

but IMO, i would cut the bottom part of the rear fenders like everyone else is saying, but i would also cut the bottom of the front fenders too. You might want to remove your front brakes and your tail light to drop more weight......and get like a +4-6 swingarm and and a lighter axle.
