I removed the racks, winch, front headlight assembly and of course the plow. The steering feels like a 400ex and in low, if you nail it... your going off the back (big time whellie)! What a ride! Anyone else tried this? I was running 67mph stock, 70 with winch, new muffler,k&n filter and clutch kit. I'm guessing 3 to 4 mph faster without all that front end weight.I will check top speed soon using magelain platium gps... we'll see! I've got pictures of the stripped 700 but can't seem to get them on this site. Email me if anyone wants to see.
