Nice!

Still looks like you got the same tires though.. haha

Some decent upgrades you made

[krazyrider]

Where did you purchase those 450R shocks?
Are those stock A arms?
Did you have to send your shocks away to get revalved?
Because I would like to get the same set up on my 400.
Thanks.

i got them off of ebay for $150
The a-arms are Burgard +2's, so no they're not stock
No revalving isn't required

here's a thread that show's you what you need to do to install them.

i put a CR style kill switch in place of the starter. just wired the hot wire and ground wire up like the old one. and my headlights are unhooked. i can't figure out what i'm gonna do with the nose yet. lol

did you do some mad burnouts? you ate them GNCC's up in a year? thats not good i was looking into a rear set and if they are gonna be gone in a year then i dont want them. too expensive to buy a set a year, i have hd's now and have had them on my ltz for lik5 years and still look good, i have had them on my ex for like 2 years and they are like new, keep in mind i ride almost every day, and i road ride like 20 miles every couple days going to a buddys house.(i got no drivers licence so i use my quad to go get drunk with my buddies and i can ride through a field or whatever if the cops spot me, ever run from cops on your quad? its super fun and exhilarating, but i dont recommend it i got pit maneuvered once on a friends 06 predator and about totaled it. needless to say the got me that time. lol)

i've had my GNCC's since october of 07. i make it a point to ride my quad everyday. and i go on alot of long distinace rides. I go with powermadd400ex a few times a year to prentice and we put over thirty miles in a day. There's two ridin areas right down the road from me and they go about 5-10 miles back through the mountains. Needless to say, my tires have had the piss run out of them. even now, they still get awesome traction, i totally recommend them.

i've run from them a couple of times. always hit the woods. Crown vics and chargers can't make their own trail:p

[powermadd400ex]

hell yea dude, looks sick!
we need to go up to aetna next weekend. its been 2 weeks since i've rode :o

[BamBam730]

Just wait till you get some new sneakers on that thing and you'll see just what you are missing.

All the talk about horse power gains that are maid by doing mod's
on here and you let you tires look like that!!!

You can have all the ponies you want but if you cant get it to the ground. I ask what good is it?

Nice mods though it's looking good!!!!

Sorry man I don't meen to rage on you but try and get some new rubbers and you'll be pullin wheelies out of those corners again.

Did here you say Drunk ridding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[GMC400ex]

hey man what about the parts you took off you want to get ride of any of it?

[baker420ex]

hey man nice wheeler, definately all around its a new machine. you should get front race plastics, i know you said you weren't sure what to do with the headlights...that would complete your look. just wondering did you notice a huge difference with the 450 shocks or not? was it worth the 150?

they are definitely worth the $150. with stock a-arms, they are a little on the stiff side, but they seem about perfect with the +2's.

[GMC400ex]

ah i dont really NEED anything i was just kind of eye balling your renthals but i didnt know about what kinda shape they were in or how the grips were..

[Gibson]

i don't have the renthals anymore, i got rid of them a while back.
