im new here, im from indiana, i just traded my custom painted polaris 250 trailblazer for a 2002 400ex, its got a couple mods. it has an FMF Megamax, k&n with no lid, stage one hotcams as far as performance i think. i already know that the fmf megamax isnt a very good pipe, but im a beginner and im not that good at a clutch so ill get used to it and sometime later this year ill probabally spring for a Lexx or an HMF.

im kind of doing a makeover on it right now, im just doing cosmetic work, cause like i said it doesnt need to be any faster right now. so here she is!

my plans are nerfs, grips, seat cover, lighting, and a ton of painting of other parts like brake levers and polishing the motor covers and the headers and stuff. im only 16 and im looking for a job so money is tight right now,

the only thing wrong with the quad is the timing chain. im going to replace it with a 2002 CRF450R chain. if im correct it will fit right? ive been looking around here and been taking notes lol.

so does anyone know where the cheapest place to get a CRF450R timing chain is? my dealer is charging like 48$ i think. i seen it on bikebandit for like 35. but i have to pay shipping. anywhere else i should look?

well i hope im warmly welcomed here, i am on a couple other forums..
you may know me as trailblazer_02 on quadcrazy.com, deathcorefan2 on atvfan.com and 4strokemurder on atvconnection.com

thanks and all suggestions on my project are welcomed! :D :D
