I've seen some atv'ers flip fronts around on Honda's (300ex and 400ex). a new valve stem is drilled for the opposite side and the old valve stem is plugged. I notice that it exposes the braking calipers and I' wondering if anyone has done this and had any problems with suspension/steering/or rocks+mud in braking system. Thanks

Yea,I have a buddy that done that to his 400. He liked the handling and stability in the jumps but he mostly trail rode and he hated the extra width.He had Alot of trouble bumping trees and bending tie rods.With the tires flipped out like that it doesn't take much of a hit to bend them.There pretty weak anyways.If your mostly flat track racing or the similar I think you'll like them that way.GOOD LUCK!!!
