Thanks for viewing and leave some comments. :)

I'm sure you would notice a difference in handling if you would back off the pre-load on the fronts. I would guess the rear is the same. Looks good, I still have a spot in my heart for the 'ol 400ex.

Quad looks great, How do you like the dual brake lines?

Looks like you could do pullups with the height of them bars:D

[powermadd400ex]

sick!
i love the width. how does it handle on the track? how bout trails?

[X400EX]

Hahah, thank you for the comments.

Bill Fuller : I may try to adjust the preload, but it was the best setup I found, since I mostly ride MX. I'm not going into fast laps, just hitting big jumps over and over just for fun.

Honda#4 : The dual brake line are great, quick response and good improvment. They are just a pain in the a%$/% to bleed... It took me like 3 hours!!:scary:

Well, the handling is so much better in trails and tracks, I've tried some jumps but nothing over 60 yet. I can tell you that this suspension let you to land where you wouldn't had think of before! ;)

You can't even compare it to the stock one.

good job....quad looks great.

Only thing I would chang is those super tall bars you have. Are you building a chopper or what???......LOL

Keep up the good work!

[X400EX]

Ahaha, thank you leasureryan for the comments.

I'm keeping that super high tall chopper bars, otherwise my neck is screwing up on big jumps! It's only 3 inches more than stock.

EDIT : Before I made the adjustments (the first pics) the handlebars wasn't adjusted properly. I have to admit that it truly looked like a chopper lol. ;)

I need bars 1" higher than stock. What TAG model and bend are those? And how much did just the bars raise it?

It's a Tag T2 "high"... That's the only thing I know about them. It was a little higher than stock but I had to put my rox raisers to make it perfect to me. :)


gcart2 : How comes you think fast flexx are weird? I heard it's suppose to be so much better at the tracks. :ermm:

I heard flexx feel funny cause of the movement in them but I also heard they feel really nice. If they flexx too much put a stiffer bushing
