I just
got this 2001 400ex about 3 weeks ago. I have noticed
the front edge of the fenders on each side have a small
area that acts as a hook on weeds and small saplings.
I have miles of trails here and when riding thru thick
areas or woods the stuff gets knocked down by the fenders
which has already scarthed them up more than I would
have liked to seen so soon. This is not a problem on
well defined trails or sand flats but my trails have
grown up slightly after not being ridden on in a few
years.
The factory bumper is pathetic for
protecting from anything and looks cheap on such a nice
machine. After looking at several styles I found a PRM
Baja bumper that works very well. It is wide enough
so it deflects small stuff off to the sides and helps
to protect the plastic. It also has enough area to get
2 hands on it when you have to manhandle it out of a
trailer or something and it looks great compared to
the stock thing. Being made of aluminum, it doesnt wiegh
that much at all. I really like this and would recommend.
it to anyone that likes this look and stlye.
