Nice work!

Are those really houser a-arms?

[beags86]

yeah my 400 had a special order stock length houser arms on it... lol no i just added the stickers so i could fool people on the trail.

and if i look at it long enough i might start thinking they are myself.. hehe

Really nice setup. are you happy with it? steve

[beags86]

oh yeah, the shocks handle great and the scoops seam to really push in the air, also i know the tires are not holeshots or anything fancy, but i think that they are really good, if you have a chance to pick them up cheap (like me- $175 for all 4 wheels and tires and 450r rear brake light) i would say go for it!

the shocks and tires really make me want some plus 2 arms, even though i really don't need them for the style of riding i do...idk maybe later this summer

450R wheels and tires are the same size as the 400 but the 450R has stock dunlops.

I like the scoops they dots on the scoops match the side panels under the gas tank really pulls its self together.

Shocks are very noticable right! they ride so much better.

my 400 had stock 22' and the 450's are 21's , and the "dots" are rivets, the top and bottom ones are purely cosmetic. but the ones around the iron cross hold a piece of lexan in to help with airflow so there's not a hole there. i like the rivet look "it's racey looking" and the flat black because i'm a hot rodder at heart and there's nothing like flat black!!

I have 20"x10"x9" on my stock rims on my 400. They are ohtsu front and back with the fronts being 22"x7"x10". the 250ex has 22"x10"x9" backs with 22"x7"x10" fronts. I have not seen the 450's with anything over 20" stock either some have 18" now too. steve

dude looks great. i really like the painted a arms and the scoops. the flat black looks great. but i cant wait to roost in your face and we will see how the paint holds up. lol have a good one.

[beags86]

haha your an optimistic one to think you would be ahead of me... the damn dynojet kit i bought doesn't have a 165 main it.. i thought it did. i am kind of pissed.. so i am off to FHK to get one, i prob pick up a 42 pliot as well.


UPDATE.. put the shocks though their paces the other day... i am able to lift the inside front tire in a hard corner....amazeing!!!
