So i have been putting a lot of my effort into my XC bike this year. I have purchased a LT front end, went back to 250R spindles from 400ex. Raised compression on my XC motor, new plastics and graphics, new Tires, RPM XC Dominator axle, and 9" shamrock rears from my 8", new bumper. And coming soon an auto clutch i hope as well.

Here are some photos from the update thus far. Need to get my graphics on and do some testing. I have already been running my recently built XC 450R with a lot of success. I cant wait to get my 250R out there. I may even try to get out o the IXCR series in Indiana for the all 250R class some time.

Here is the bike last year. And its progression through the year. Also a shot of my 450R, it is getting a matching graphics package as well soon.

Nice!! My only question is where did you find full fendered Fullbores!?

A guy down near peoria Illinois had them. he bought a bike that had them on it and sold them to me. They are pretty damn near perfect. Going to be a shame to put holes in it for the hood. Even has the front fender brackets with it.

Sweet graphics. Gotta say I do love the silver/grey plastics with the graphics from years past though!

I like those JD a-arms.

I would have loved to find silver full fender fullbores. But i waited and waited. Found one set that a guy spray painted a lighter silver. Finally gave up and just bought the whites. I want full fenders for XC. Tired of getting covered in mud.

I'm not sure if I could run nice Fullbores in XC lol. Would hurt me every time I scratched up against something

Burns363R · « **Reply #7 on:** March 23, 2016, 07:22:50 AM »

hence why im putting a full coverage graphics kit. The only other option was to buy new maier which was only $100 cheaper than these. So... price is a wash really.

Have you done any bump-steer comparisons between the 400ex and 250r spindles yet?

Burns363R · « **Reply #9 on:** March 23, 2016, 12:35:34 PM »

Have u rode the Motowoz rear yet? I'm surprised u didn't want to switch to cr500 or no link rear. Happy with the stock link?

Burns363R · « **Reply #11 on:** March 23, 2016, 05:10:27 PM »

Still have a Axis rear and stock link. Cant find a no link swing arm, and Im not ready to drop the coin for another CR500 link frame. So im doing what i can with what i got.

Michael88R · « **Reply #12 on:** March 23, 2016, 05:13:44 PM »

Koq (kids on quads) makes a no link swingarm. It's reasonably priced. Not as nice as a Roll. I've had one about 3 years now. Hoping to finally buy the shock this year.
