Oldtimer,irish, that looks awesome!!! Now all you need is some new Wheels and tires. I rode mine yesterday where the county had just come thru and bladed up about a foot of loose dirt on the back dirt roads. It was a blast, my new tires were slinging roosters tails sky high! Then it would grab hold and jerk you back like in were in a dragster. I'm ordering my overfenders real soon! It's going to be 75 here this weekend, first real good riding weather since last fall![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Well fellers, the overfenders are now released in the US. I just ordered a set from my local dealer $135. They have them in stock in the Atlanta warehouse. Be here in two days.

Happy riding.

 

Hey guys, new to the forum and 4 wheelers. Just wondering if i'm gunna have clearance problems with 27 in. Mudlites on a 05 kodiak 450. I plan to put overfenders on it. Will they work without trimming?
Btw great forum

I have 26" with no interference at all, but it is close on the front. I can't speak for 27's, but looks like there might be some issue on the front fender if in certain tight situations with suspension fully compressed. Probably nothing a little trimming can't fix.

 

Has anyone found them here in the U.S. They dont show them for an 05 on Yamaha's web site yet. I'd try the Dealer but past experience has shown me i'm wasitng my time with them. Does somebody have a link where I can order them inside the States?

 

I got mine here in North Carolina back in April. I called my dealer and talked them through it. They were able to locate the part number (it wasn't in the catalog) and ordered a set. They are in stock in the warehouse in Atlanta. I already trashed the box, so I don't have the part number anymore, but if you help them through it, they can get them. There installed now, and look and work great. If I ever get around to it, I will post some pics. If you need to contact them, my local dealer is Interstate Cycle in Cornelius, NC. Ask for Matt in the parts dept. He is very helpful.

 

Trophyelkhunter, Thanks. That's what I'll try and do is talk them thru it. If that doesent work I'll call where you got them. Thanks again.

 

WOW, over fenders look great good job, hard to get a feel on the bumper, looks great is it prettytough?

 

CamoKodiak450: About your 26" tires on your Kodiak....

Do you find you still have enough decent power for hills, rough terrain and mud?

I'm thinking of getting either a 450 Kodiak or Vinson with 26" mudlites.....kodiak is quite a bit cheaper this time of year.....and with locking diff and IRS could be the way to go.....esp for the type of riding I do....I just hope it can do a bit of work with the bigger tires....like occasionally dragging small logs out of bush and pulling triler with sand around yard.

 

To tell the truth I've really not noticed any power lose. I'm still able to spin tires and climb any hill only better. My top speed is off about 2mph. I think 26" is the way to go!
