Has anyone tried putting on a front end locker on a 450ES? I'm thinking about putting it on but would like some feedback first.

hey there I got a 450s model but i put one of the front end locker and it was a pain but we got it on. When you decide to do this make sure that you have a place were you can work on it that has all the tools like a work shop but you probably new that already. This system does work good but beware it is a lote differ from the limited slip
system.

Thanks. I've got access to a workshop to do the job but I'm still not sure if I should do it. I ride mostly in mud holes but usually requires some trail riding to get to the mud holes. All the reviews say it's difficult to handle if you're trail riding so I'd need to find out if it's something I could live with.

Well it's like this, after you get used to it and
take it easy you will be abill to go though the trails like nothing but it takes time to get used to it. The hardest part is getting it on.

Not with the front end locker for the Honda's. You have to tear apart the front end to install it, same goes for uninstalling it.

LovinHonda,
Any tips/suggestions/hurdles when installing the locker? I'm probably going to take the plunge here shortly.

thanks,
mark
