You already have a Pipe so I wouldn`t worry about the TC Pipe to much.

Even the Shocks, A-Arms, and Axle? I think I`m saving for PEP Shocks next. I would be able to ride a lot harder with the Shocks. Hitting Ruts and Roots on Stock Shocks hurt.

Heres mine after it was just washed. I am not sure if I like the mud plugs, for some reason one side is not sealing right after I pu it on and it is leaking air. Maybe I will mess with it some and fix it. My front wheels should be here next week.

Why.... does it not look fast to you??? :cool: I am focusing on my suspension and handling b4 speed. I will proably put a Curtis Sparks 416 kit in it in the future, but leave my pipe stock so people think I have a stock 400....untill it goes by them. :D

Proably not much but they are lighter and I plan on racing this season and needed beedlocks so I got the wheels, why pay money for aluminum when you can have carbonfiber which are indestructible, plus lighter. I will never have another reg. alum rim unless I plan on not jumping, I have flat spotted too many aluminum rims and I dont even get that much air compared to real pros. Its just whatever spins your wheels. I will get a hydraulic clutch and a graphics kit and seat cover in the next month, and some shockcovers to cover up my shocks, maybe some X-5 tag bars or the Magura bars they are strong.

what is the big deal with beadlocks though? I don't think you would ever have the problem of the tire coming off the rim because they are a bear to get off. btw those hydrolic clutchs are awsome I rode a ktm that had a hydrolic clutch and it is so light and smooth I thought they were kinda a waste of money before but now I like them but I would want other modifications first though.

I thought so too but after I rolled one off on my three wheeler and about fliped, it scared the $#!t out of me, and I said never again, plus u can never be 2 prepared in racing.

$860? Just for the Rims? On their site the Rears are $190 and the Fronts are $175. I got a Total of $730 for Four Rims. Why did yours cost so much?

I love the beadlocks i have now but these are so much better. I hace almost broke the bead on my bayou. They give a more safer feeling when riding knowing they wont bend or the bead wont pop off.

Add another 80 for the mudplugs and the rest is shipping.
