I think this quad is awesome!
The fact that people are bit$hin about heelguards and rear # plates shows that there isn't much that could have been improved on.
heel guards=who runs stock heel guards anyway?
rear # plate=I'm sure it would take about 10 minutes and a 10" long piece of aluminum to make a bracket to offset it to one side or hold it below the exhaust.
If the number plate is below the exhaust, wouldn't it crush under extreme suspension load? I rememeber people banging their exhaust off of the brake calipers, seems a lower hanging number plate would be prone to getting broke. Between that and people bumping and grinding out on the track. But I'm just talking out my arse, haven't seen the thing yet!
Now Popo, you know that would never pass tech at a GNC race!!!Quote:

So leaving a small hole for the exhaust and lowering the plate a few inches shouldn't be an issue at all.
My question is whats the point - why can we simply use jerseys and chest protectors instead? (Modify the Rules!) Is it such a hard concept to grasp - I mean you dont see rear number plates on MX Bikes do you???

Suuuuuure! Let's just change the rules for every new quad on the market! Maybe bump the CC limit up so that the Predator can be used in the pro class. And maybe allow 52" stock machines to run too.

Okay spouting off at the mouth is fun! :rolleyes: When you drop a numberplate down enough to clear the exhaust, it will have the potential to hit the terrain on a hard landing. I've seen fenders rub tires, so there is enough travel.
What the hell just mount the number plate so it is above the grab bar!!! WHO CARES GOOD GREIF Its just a stupid number plate.

That would look cool! Kind alike a sissy bar on a street bike!
And the number plate is not just for looks. In the GNC series it is required. And accoring to the rules must go in a specific spot. I have good resaon to believe this issue is already resolved. It's just funny to hear people argue about it.
You know me Jaspman, I'm trying my best to not argue about it! :D
