Well man, we (me and Lonestarbanshee) just set his 250R plastics on the Dale just to see how it would look. I'm sorry to mislead you guys like that but I don't have the plastics mounted on there. However, it doesn't look like it would be that hard to do... I would have to do a little cutting on the "air box" and retro fit some plastic mounts. I don't under stand why they made the front end so wide... after setting those plastics on there, I realized that there is no tight squeeze to have them put on and that the stock plastics just float away from the frame a bit.

I'm glad yall like the look of it though... Might be a nice project once I get my quad a bit more MX ready. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I dunno bout all this. Mounting it and making it look good would be a chore. The 250R seat doesn't mount up anywhere near the Cannibal's, BUT, you could always drill holes. When you set the 250's rear plastic onto the Cannondale, it looks really stupid. We had a block of wood underneath the seat to make it look somewhat better.

You can find a picture of Kory Ellis's Cannibal here

The longer I stare at that picture, the more I know how they made that. I believe they took a saw, and shaved the front portion out of the stock Cannibal plastic, and mounted a scooped 250R hood on it. YoDaddy, if you will look closely, we took the same shaving line on yours, as he did. Or, as John Burr did.

I believe the nose piece is a custom made piece by Quad Tech and not a 250r piece. They also made the radiator shrouds and looking at the pics in ATV Action, the side panels could be Quad Tech pieces too. You can see pics of 250r plastic on a cannondale here Advanced Atv

Yeah, I think Kory's bike has an aftermarket front plastic. Since he is a pro rider, he can get all of this stuff before it even comes out. I'm willing to bet that you can find something from Maier pretty soon too since they are one of the companies thats part of the Nac's Cannondale racing team.

That nose peice is nasty. Looks like one of those animals (pig, rhino? not sure...) with a big hump in the nose.
If people think that looks better than stock Cannondale plastic.. Well whatever its a free country!
