Wheels?!?!?

[MOOCAZEN]

I DONT KNOW WHAT KIND TO GET , HELP, EITHER HYPER-TECH CARBON WHEELS, DOUGLAS , OR THE NEW OMF WHEELS, SOME ONE LET ME KNOW, HAS ANYONE HEARD ANYTHING ABT THE CARBON WHEELS? THNX

[Scott]

There's already a post going about the carbon fiber wheels pros/cons. Take a look around for it.

[RideRed400EX]

I keep hearing about new OMF wheels. Anyone know the scoop or have a pic?

[MOOCAZEN]

THEY ARE CALLED THGE SCALLOPS THEY G=HAVE A WAVY BEADLOCK THEY ARE IN THE NEW DIRTWHEELS MAG

[400MXer]

i have regular douglas beadlocks and i like them. But from what i've been hearing, the Carbon fiber ones are unbreakable.

Actually the carbon fiber rims can break but the plus to them is there modular wheels which break down into seperate peices,,so if something does go wrong you just replace a part and not the entire wheel. I have just regular douglas rims with rings and they've held up really good,,and there about $75 per rim cheaper than carbon fiber,,but if ya got the cash get the best.

[Scott]

Another plus to the carbon fibers are the guarantee. I don't think any of the aluminum wheels are guaranteed. You break a hypertech, they replace it.

[MOOCAZEN]

SCOTT AND RRRRRRRRICO SUAVE

The Hyper rims (carbon fiber) also have an inside reinforcement ring on the rear rims.....sweet. I wish my rims came with that, and kept the same weight. The Hyper rims seem to hold up pretty good. A friend of mine is not too gracefull on his Hyper equiped Raptor, and his rims are holding up. I'm not too gracefull either, and my Douglas Ultimate Billet Beadlocks are holding up ok. I think you would like the weight reduction of the Hyper rims and the fact they have rebuildable rims. :)

Good luck shopping!

[Dave400ex]

Do you guys have any Pictures of your Rims? I would like to see them.

[kid300ex]

I'd like to see some rear beadlocks on a 300ex, cause I just put my Durablue axle in today and the one wheel on the side that I bent the axle on it wobbling... :(

[kid300ex]

Does Douglas or any others have web sites?

[400MXer]

I've been trying to scan some pic's but my scanner is POOP!!

I think one of the bulbs in it burnt out!

but i'm trying.

[Scott]

You can find both by searching on google.com

To save you some time, HiPer Technology's site is hiper-technology.com

I don't remember the one for Douglas.

[400exRacerX]

I have champion beadlocks and they costed me 147.95 a wheel.

[Scott]

I have a set of champions as well. I'm very happy with mine so far...

[400MXer]

sorry the pic is so bad.

[400MXer]

another view

[Dave400ex]

I like how those Rims look. I like the new Carbon Fiber Rims. They are really strong. When I get new Rims, I will get the Rims like you have, Billet Beadlocks, or the Carbon Fiber Rims.

[400MXer]

I wonder how those carbon fiber rims would look after a few races. Would they start to get scratched up and crappy looking. The aluminum ones may get a ding but they will still look nice and shiney.

[MOOCAZEN]

[Dave400ex]

I know your not Lying. How do you like the Pingry Airbox? Can you use the Stock Snorkle? Does it have a Lid? Thanks.

[MOOCAZEN]

IT HAS NO LID AND U CANT USE THE SNORKEL, WHICH TO ME REALLY DOESNT MATTER, THE ONLY THING IS IM HAVING PROBLEMS RUNNINGTHE K&N FILTER METAL LID WITH THE BOX ITS STARTING TO WEAR IT DOWN, BUT OVERALL ITS SWEET, IT MAKES THE BIKE LOOK VERY DIFFERENT AND SIMPLE TO INSTALL

[400MXer]

Holly Shnikes dude.........that's one expensive quad. Where do you work? Can't wait to see it. Tell me how you like your DR 440 kit when you get it.

[MOOCAZEN]

YA ILL TRY TO POST PICS, DID YOU KNOW THEY STOPPED MAKING THE DOUBLE BARREL PIPE? I WAS GOING TO BUY IT AND THEY CAME OUT WITH THE NEW FAT BOY 4 PIPE, LOOKS PRETTY UGLY BUT IS SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE ALOT OF POWER.

[Dave400ex]

That`s stupid. Why would Duncan quit making the Double Barrel? They could have two Pipes.

[MOOCAZEN]

i guess because of dmc patenting the double barrell system or something

[400MXer]

Are you serious. ....they stopped making it. I saw a pic of the fatboy in a mag. but i didn't know that they stopped the double barrel. That sux....i love mine. I haven't seen the whole fatboy though...just the very back of it.

[400MXer]

Duncan released the Double Barrel before the DMC was.

[MOOCAZEN]

I SPOKE TO LEANARD DUNCAN AND THEY TOLD ME THEY STOPPED MAKING IT, AND THEY SHOWED ME THE FATBOY, YOU CAN USE THE DUNCAN HEADERS THEY SAID, HE ALSO SAID IT PRODUCED MORE POWER

[Dave400ex]

Well at least it makes more Power. That`s really all that matters.

[400MXer]

Yeah, more power is better.......do you have a pic of the new fatboy. I really want to see the entire thing. i've only seen the rear of the silencer.

[MOOCAZEN]

I DONT HAVE A PIC BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE HEADERS ARE STILL SEPARATE, BUT AT THE PIPE THERE IS A Y SHAPE SO THE DOUBLE HEADERS TURN INTO ONE RIGHT WHEN ITS GOING TO CONNECT TO THE PIPE
