When I bought her she already had the Six-Pack rack, Douglas Front Wheels with a wider offset, and Pro Circuit T4 pipe. Since purchasing her I've installed a massive 220 CFM cooling fan on the stock oil cooler (fan is actually a PC server fan but works excellent and has held up great), I've also installed an Armadillo 1/4" thick Swingarm Skid Plate and a Streamline Performance Braking 11-Way adjustable Steering Stabilizer, and some soft Oury Grips.

Looks like a nice quad. Kind of a creative idea on the fan. Never thought of using a PC cooling fan tbh. Idk if it would last through some of the things I go through. But They are insanely cheap. I might just consider buying one. Looks nice!

Yeah the fan I bought was only $5 with free shipping on Ebay! You gotta look at the CFM of the fan you buy though, most PC fans are in the 20 to 60 CFM range which isn't good enough... The fan I bought is the Nidec VA450DC, here is the link to the Ebay seller I bought my from, it even comes in that nice metal case you see in my picture which makes mounting easy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/V34809-90-Nidec-120mm-12V-Fan-/390547225342?pt=US_Server_Fans_Cooling_Systems&hash=item5aee6dbafe

More pics than you probably bargained for eh? Need more, just ask! My 400 is just bone stock, I love everything about it. Perfect for what I do and plenty fast, people that say the 400EX is slow got rocks in their heads, 68 miles per hour is plenty fast on a quad in my book haha.

Pics from yesterday, had a blast! Also ate **** in that big snowdrift, hit it in 3rd to try and make it over and was doing fine until I hit a soft spot and went over the bars and landed on my back haha, the quad just stopped like dead weight lol. I was sure exhausted when I got back, laid down to nap and didn't wake up until this morning! Whoever said quad riding isn't physically demanding?
This was the best picture of the day, and yes, she does ride with me when she's tired! Born a natural, didn't even have to train her how to do it.
Coming back over that drift after the somersault over the bars.
Thanks for looking! It was a wonderful day yesterday, love riding.

Hittin' a mudhole on my quad - YouTube
Hit a mudhole today, nothing special, will get some better action on cam tomorrow! First time I hit this mudhole it was a lot better, this time wasn't much to write home about though.

More pic whoring! This was from our ride up in the little belts on Tuesday, beautiful weather but I had tire issues! Only 15 minutes into the first ride and I sliced a "V" in my right rear, managed to patch it up with 3 tire plugs and 2 cans of fix o flat! I wasn't loading up and driving back I can tell you that, by gosh I was gonna get some riding in and I did! We still had a good ride that day, I just had to take it easy so I didn't rip the plugs out.
Stopped at a campground to water the dogs.
Patching up the right rear
Standing next to the truck and quads before we unloaded.
Adding air to my right front BEFORE the ride that punctured my right rear, I should have known I'd be plagued with tire issues when I was airing this one up.
Riding around in the trees across the road warming up.
Stormy shaking off after a cold dip in the creek, I can't imagine how cold that water must be this time of year.
Another shot with the Griz in the picture
Adding yet more air to the right rear. Even though it was patched up, it still leaked slowly. That 12v portable air compressor is the best 20 bucks I've ever spent. Plugs into a cigarette lighter which the Griz so conveniently has on it.
A view of the mountainside.
More warmup, Hondas are cold blooded reptiles!
The dogs
The slice in my tire, idk if you can see it, but it's to the left in the middle of the tire, it was a big hole.
Being pursued by some ferocious dogs!
Taking 5 and being serious about it haha

New tires I got headed my way btw. Goldspeed SX 6 plys, going all out. Screw them wimpy 2 plys I got, I need a tire that can take rocky trails. Will eventually do the same for the front tires, but only have the money for rears at the moment. Can't wait to see how these babies hook up on slick muddy trails.
