Kevin, I heard so much about "rotating mass" that I decided to cut a couple dozen 1/2" holes in my chainguard. I knocked off two pounds+. It is supposed to be the equivalent of 14 lbs normal weight...is this true??? Who knows. The stock chain guard could also be thinned out to loose more weight. It feels like a piece if cast iron...

 

Xplor,

FTR makes a bumper for the Scrambler that looks awesome. I saw it in an ATV mag the other day. They also make a radiator guard. It would look way cool on your awesome Scram. I don't think they have a website yet, or I haven't found it. I am going to buy a seat cover from them for my Scram....has a fanny pack at the back woohoo!

Regards,

Xplor,

Love those pics. Your quad looks just like a bubby of mine. He has the FMF muffler, chrome rims, and Dirt Devil rubber. When I order my Aluminum rims and tires from Rocky Mt. I will get that FMF Turbine Muffler cuz it looks way cool!

I will let you know if my stock exhaust works on that Xplorer or not.

The pic's look great. The nerfs are sweet. how did you get the banshee's to fit and did you have to cut anything off? And what did you use for pegs

 

I am still waiting on FTR's catalog by mail. Now if they come out with that new tranny and double A-Arm suspension for the 4x4 Scrambler...I am gonna take out a loan!

The nerfs basically went on as is. I had to cut down the front a bit by about 2 inches. I basically just cut the floorboard supports flush with the frame and eye-fitted the nerfs and pegs. When all was in place I hired a welder to come and weld it all together for me. Sorry, no bolt-on convenience. I tried keeping the front and rear bars of the nerf parallel so thats why the outside bar is curved up a bit. I rivitted the stock aluminum footpegs to 1" steel tube and welded it to the frame. They sit aproximately 1/2" to 1" farthur forward than stock. My heel can rest on the nerf.
