Heck, everybody else posts when they get new stuff so I figured I would join the party.

I switched from stock arms and Works trs w/o res to Denton +2s and Elkas w/o res . It is kind of nice that my front end sits even with my rear now. I don't weigh much and had the preload on the rear bottomed out and my front end was very high (and light as a result!).

I haven't ridden it yet, but I am looking forward to doing so.:D

how much did those shocks cost?

They were 515. I have read that the Quadshop or CD can sell them cheaper, but i didn't have to wait 2 wks- only 4 days.

I just got my first ride on them saturday and they were awesome. Then i got caught up in the air with another quad and ended up separating my collar bone from my shoulder.:( :(

but for about 7 laps or so they were great!!:D :D

Sorry to hear about ur collorbone, i hope it heals quickly so you can get back out riding!

Nice front end I like it alot, looks awesome man:devil

wait a second, at first I thought ur quad was a 250R, but then I looked at the first pic again and noticed the 400ex engine, lol. So you put 250r plastic on ur 400? Was it hard? did u have to make any new mounting brackets?

The front end looks great. Only thing you need to do is get a graphics kit or something to add some color to it.

I made a post with how to do it so others could make the swap. I traded for the white body & hood b/c I didn't like the stock red. I get a lot of double takes! I would like to get a black seat cover and stick with blk, wht & chrme with a little orange or blue.

Kiled, I've got a buyer already for the arms. sorry.

L2R300 thanks for the thoughts, I hope it heals quickly too. I didnt race for 5 weeks to save up for the front end and now i am stuck not riding again:grr

By the way, if anyone has switched to an aftermarket steering stem and has a straight stock one, please email me.

thx
