Hey,

I was just reading the "rides" section and on page 18, the second quad from the bottom of the page (the blue 400ex). He quotes he has a laeger's carbon fiber swingarm......Out of couriosity, is there such a thing? I'm not busting balls I was just curious. Hers what it says,
This 440EX has $12,000 invested and has the best of everything, Laegers +4 A-ARMS, and carbon fiber swingarm,

Thanks Norm

No, i don't think that would be possible and it would probably cost the whole $15,000 itself and how does it have the best of everything with works shocks?

man a carbon fiber swingarm would rock, it would be so damn light.

I think we would have heard about it, maybe not though.

Well, I've got carbon fiber reeds in my 400, and a billet aluminum powerband (anodized red)...

I got a carbon fiber fox stickers on my fenders. Pretty cheap and really light weight stuff.

Personally 86atc250r, i prefer the gold billet aluminum powerbands on the 400s. They seem to conmpliment those titanium reeds just a little better. Ive been told its something about the muffler bearings?? :blah
LOL....Sorry, had too.

For my wife's 4x4 I got the chrome-dipped powerband and went with the blue muffler bearings. I wish I would have gone with the jet hot coated powerband and the red muffler bearings. I had to find a left handed phillips screw driver to install the blue muffler bearings, and I could have just used a water hammer to install the red ones. I've had trouble trying to find a valve seal too. I've seen spotted seals, leopard seals, snow seals and a couple blown seals, but I can't seem to find a valve seal. Maybe I should try seaching Alaska for one...

As for the reeds, I haven't messed with them yet. Don't want to give her too much power! But I'll probably swap out the reeds for a cat-tail style. She's got 5 cats on the farm, so they should be easy to find. I hope the cats don't mind.

Muffler bearings do exist. On some Rolls Royce cars, there's a bearing on the muffler bracket to dampen out vibration. Called a muffer bearing.

Mercedes has blinker fluid available. That's the name of the fluid you buy for the headlight washer fluid.

I guess some parts guys have a sense of humor when naming parts for new cars. Probably the same guys that name the paint colors on cars.

My favorite is the metric and SAE crescent wrenches. The difference is in the thread pitch. Only available from the US Army. I didn't believe it until I was shown the wrenches, and the parts book with the numbers to order replacements. Someone made a mint off Uncle Sam there.:huh :huh
