CdaleRacer your impressions are pretty close to the ones that I have posted here, glad to see others that have had the same experiances with their FX's, all the mags opinions don't mean sqwaut in the real world.

I notice you complain about the throttle position, thats funny cause I had no problem with that but I didn't like the placing of the kill switch housing, it dug into my left thumb knuckle when I was riding, since the hand grip has no collar to slide up against. I loosened the allens and turned the switch up 90 deg. and was able to slide it closer to the starter switch and is much better. You could get diffrent hand gripes with collars but I like the feel of the stock ones.

Moto24 I did the same with the kill button and also switched the kill and start button places. I didnt like the thought of the kill button being that close to my hand,you never know! The problem with the throttle may just be me but it seems like the lever is to far up (to close to the bottom of the housing)and the angle to far forward(toward me). I saved my grips and put them on my new bars,I like them alot also. I'm going to order up a bunch of them in case they change the design up. They will probably be like $25.00 a set(just kiding)hee hee.

Hey CDaleRacer, I just noticed you live in Arkansas. Have you ever been to Wolf Pen Gap in Mena? We might have to meet up there some weekend. It's only a 3 hour drive from my house.

Lonestarbanshee Ive never been there before,It would be great to meet up there and ride (I always like to meet other ATVers). The only problem is that I live all the way across the state of Arkansas from Mena,Im about 35 miles northwest of Memphis,TN. I know my quad would be fine but Im trying to cut the mileage back alittle on my S-10. That thing is making even more engine noise than my C-DALE (HA)! For real though let me know alitte bit more about this place and I may make the trip sometime if its a real good place to ride. Im going to Loretta Lynn's this year to race(If I dont get hurt before then) if you come look me up. I should be easy to find #31 C-Dale, silver and purple(or a light Blue low rider ext.cab) S-10 PICK-EM-UP truck. If I do get to come to Mena It will be after Oct. Im running in a series points race at my local track starting this weekend and lasting till then.

Sounds good C-Dale racer. I know what you mean about the milage thing.. I don't think I will be able to swing Loretta's. My track is running a series starting sept. 15th and won't be over until november. Well, Im sure we can hook up with some friends and ride up there. I have a bunch of guys on EX's, and bikes..
