Post pics of quads with laker plastics

[smurf450]

I was trying to see what the 450r's look like with laker plastics compared to OEM. Thanks

[JJs450r]

heres one complete lakers

[smurf450]

Do you have any problem with your rear fender touching the exhaust since lakers don't use the bottom brackets?

[JJs450r]

no these were the race cuts

[JJs450r]

heres a side shot i think you can see it better

[smurf450]

Have you rode with them yet? Reason I'm asking is because when I race mine I notice that when I lean into turns I tend to push on my rear fender and figured with no bottom support on the lakers and me pushing against it that the plastic would hit the exhaust and melt.

[JJs450r]

ya i raced a season on them, they didnt push in to much and im pretty sure that they had a nice piece of that aluminum heat tape on them

[smurf450]

Ok thanks. I was just stuck between ordering new plastics either lakers or oem and didn't wanna toast new fenders during a race. I like oem plastic but I don't like the warning labels on them and lakers look sweet but didn't know how they held up.

[JJs450r]

mine held up pretty good i ran them on my first 450

[smurf450]

Do they hold the glossy finish longer than stock plastics?

[JJs450r]

ya, but i also kept that aerosol spray shine stuff on them after i washed it

[smurf450]

Ok thanks I really appreciate all the help. Nice looking quads by the way.

[JJs450r]

np, thanks wish i still had em one more question do you use heel guards ?

[smurf450]

No. Right now I'm not running them but I thought of maybe later getting another set of nerf bars with heel guards.

[JJs450r]

ya your gonna wanna get them if you run the lakers how i ended up shattering my foot 2 years ago

[smurf450]

Yeah I've ran my leg over in a race to with my YFZ and I just bought the TRX from my buddy and he didn't run heel guards and I've got them on the YFZ and definitely plan on putting some on the TRX. Been there to and that crap hurts.

[JJs450r]

ya i hit a big triple at a national i had to seat bounce the jump and some how my foot ended up off the peg and under the frame and sub frame

[smurf450]

Yeah I'll definitely put the guards back on the TRX. Thanks again for all the info. Do you ride anywhere close to Texas?

[JJs450r]

nah i live in nc and i dont ride any more
