johnny i dont know much about GNCC quads but it looks like in the pics that the top of the front tires actually stick out farther then the bottoms? i noticed my old LT did that, is that just the design of the Z? or is it not adjusted yet? sorry for my stupid question :blah

doug gust uses a 250r frame with a drz motor... it has nothing to do with the z400 except the name suzuki...

i heard that also... that on the z400 that it gives excessive chain tension which keeps the rear shock extended and gives for a horrible ride and poor traction... but wait dirt wheels rated it #1

lol the cannibal was better in every aspect but the z 400 won.... go figure

NICE BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: kc 300EX

Dirtwheels is a little crazy, they didnt pick the Z as the best quad, because it is NOT the best. They looked at it like a normal person would, which one would you spend the money on to buy, wich is the best to buy. For 5700 how can you beat it

Posted by: Johnny_G

My GF had me x-mas shopping

Yeah It's a stock frame for now with all LSR components, and axis shocks.
I will have a LSR frame as soon as one is done, but I'm not sure wich bike I will race yet.

Guetter:
good eyes the front end isn't set-up yrt, just slapped on there.

I will be running Maier plastic, Silver I think, not sure yet though.

When I told LSR's Scott Butler that I was thinkin of usin silver he was like "so is Kory Ellis, and BTW his chassis are all blue"

Damn copycat...lol

I;ll hopefully post some more tommorow when she's done

Oh yeah and the Black subframe is temporary, till the Chromed LSR gets here!!!!!!!

Posted by: gun32boarder

Johnny,

Looking good for the short time that you have had it. How tall did you go with the steering stem?

Is Laz gonna beef up the ponies in yours? That pipe is sweet looking.

Nice Job.

Posted by: GNCCracer

Hey Johnny,

How wide is that Lonestar axle when you run the Hyper wheels?

Well JG if you're getting a new frame I guess you'll be running pro class this year and not pro-production. Good Luck and I'll see you at the races. When you get time to run it and need some one to run with give me a call. I'm about 40 minutes from you.
