I seen an xxc on there a while ago with a buy it now for $4999 and couldn't believe it.

Yeah, it was the one for $4999 or at least it was supposed to be, price kept creeping up because of "dealer fees"..... lol. It was sold by Louis Powersports in Texas and I paid to have it shippid to Wisconsin. I bought this and my KFX to be a little different and to make my yfz & trx buddies jealous too. I don't think they were scared of my stock KFX though.

So I traded the Elites for some cash plus another guys stock shocks and had them redone by Noleen. The rear shock was really nice, even using the stock linkage. The fronts were always a little off though, either to soft and would push and roll in turns or to rigid and beat me up. Couldn't find a happy medium. I just think there was to little travel up front on the KFX, only 8.5 inches.
