Has anyone turned either a 250X or 300EX into a decent desert quad. I ride a 300EX and find that the wheelbase is a little short. I was thinking about doing a 4" swingarm and some +2"forward/+2" extended arms but I wanted to know if anyone has done it before I blow the cash.

 

why don't you trade your 250x/300ex in on a 400ex?? 400ex has bigger chassis plus better handling at speeds, suspension, and motor power. it's all there that you want. plus there is tons of aftermarket mods.

 

I've looked at the 400's but the dealers aren't bargaining at all. Out here ( southern CA ), the best deal in town is MSRP + tax. Don't get me wrong; the 400EX is the sweetest thing since the 250R but...... I'm not going to pay full ticket for one and I have to finish paying off some other stuff first. Maybe next year, I'll break down and go buy a new one. In the mean time, I'd like to play with this "X" and see if I can get it to work good.

 

I have a Supertrapp E.A.R exhaust FOR SALE. It fits 250x/300ex quads. It has a fist full of race power at a quiet level of noise.. It comes with the Supertrapp headpipe (bigger than stock to give more power). I completely sanded and painted it with high temp paint. I'll sell it for $100--Email me MOTOMAN446@aol.com

About the wheel base on the 300ex's. When I bought mine in the summer the guy at the dealership told me to buy this spacer kit and i did i got all around. but when i when out for a ride it seemed to make the front suspention weaker but the back was alot more stable so i took the spacers off the front and traded them back in. but on the back u would be surprized what a few more inchs of wheel base will do!!!

RIDE RED OR GO HOME!!!

I am interested in the specifics of this kit that you purchased ( who makes it, etc. ). The kit may be a solution if my other idea doesn't work. I am trying to find out if a stock 250R swingarm will bolt up to the X chassis because it is about 18" compared to 15.5" for an "X" swingarm. Does anyone know whether or not it will fit??
