i finaly got my sportsman 400 finished. i have instaled dynoport pipe, v-force reeds, uni filter, paddles for my axal, modified swingarm, modified floorboards, wheel spacers, double lift kit on front, 4 28-12.5-12 outlaws on ITP allumin rims, custom chain slide, did ert chain, lower gearing, and a water temp gauge. It has 19 inches of ground clearance at floorboards, 17 under frond skid plate. I dont have do worry about high centering because my paddles will lift me out of any hole. check it out at

WOW! Do you have any trouble turning those tires and paddles when your bogged down in the soup?

 

no, being it is a 2stroke i have plenty of power on hand. i use to have sportsman 500, grizzley, and an expition 425, this thing has more power than all of those.

 

WOW! that is bad**s! what year is that?

 

it is a 1994 sportsman 400L. i got new plastic from about three diferent bikes
