Nice mods, FF.

I've got a couple of goodies to add to my 390 in the next couple of weeks. Also giving my 2016 a little cosmetic makeover, which I'm excited about. Pics to come when I'm done.

One of your other Youtube vids shows an aftermarket header guard from Ricochet. Where did you order that from? Part #?

My next front tire is the Goldentyre Fatty. I'm looking forward to testing that out. Also, if you don't require a DOT rear tire, the Pirelli MT-16 is a beast of a tire and provides traction on literally everything I've thrown at it: sand, mud, dirt, roots, rocks. Even works well on the road. My current one has 2,100 miles on it, and I'm about ready to replace it with another. Really happy with this tire.

Here is the header guard: https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/90 ... ipe-Guard-

I use RMATV for all of my orders because they are not only Western US so I get my parts quickly, but they are invovled with saving our trails.

The MT16 is a nice all around tire. I used to run it many years ago. With tire technology and manufacturers really committed to providing so many great options and the hybrids becoming more prevalent, I have been trying several tires over the past couple of years. For my style of riding and terrain considerations, a hybrid with that can be used in a wide variety of terrain and multiple different conditions and provide longevity is ideal. So far, tye the Kenda IBEX has been my favorite, but the MotoZ Arena hybrid gummy seems to be the real deal.

Hey firffighter, I'm going with the same Shinko tire combo (MX216 front / R505 chearer rear) as in your video. What size 505 are you running in the rear, 110/100-18 or 120/100-18?

I'm running the 110. Good tire so far. I prefer the Kenda IBEX, but differences are slight.
