This was with it up in the air. Not sure if it matters or not. I haven't really ridden it much, so I'll see.
I think the measurements are made with the quad on the ground. OPT would know for sure.

Yes it needs to have a load on it to accurately check for toe out. Camber isn't adjustable,but the load on the strut will kick things out a little.

Got a couple more things done today.
Painted the lettering on the tires.






Decided to sell my snowmobile, so I figured I would pull the handguards off of it, and put them on.







Next will be getting the plow mounted up. It has to get cold, and snow sometime soon. Another 50° December day here again. It's weird.
I'm sure the percormance mod bug will bite soon. Any suggestions for some upgrades to a 450? I figure an air filter, and exhaust is an option. Does it pay to mess with clutch kits? Again, it's just a 450, that will mostly be used for plowing, hunting, and maybe a little trail riding.
Any suggestions appreciated.

The painted letters on the tires looks good. I wonder how it will look in a year.

Thanks. We'll have to see how long it lasts. I did two coats, and it seems to me that it will hold up.
I did my lawn tractor earlier this year. It still looks like new after a couple months of mowing.

It's not like you'll be squeezing through tight spots all the time and scrape the paint off.
