Do any handguards actually fit the X Pect without any modification needed??? Seems like every thread I read is saying you need to swap out the grips or chop them or ....

Do ANY just fit??

So far here is my parts list for immediate upgrades...

JT Sprockets JTF1264.17 17T Steel Front SprocketTusk
Folding Shift Lever Black/Blue Tip For Honda TRX 400X
Philips RacingVision H4 Headlight Bulb

Still shopping for a high zinc break in oil, luggage rack, and either/both saddle bags and a top box....maybe an all in one unit.

Thanks!

Not in terms of gearing, but it does in terms of chain longevity.
I prefer larger front sprockets, ideally they are the same in size, but obviously due to gear ratios that's impossible.
The force wears out the front sprocket and the chain.
That's why I would much prefer a 17t front, than a 10t front.
That's also why I prefer top speed in 4th cruising in 5th, than keeping 5th for top speed, due to the fact that if I increase the front sprocket by 70%(10 to 17t conversion) the rear would also need to be increased by the same amount, resulting in quite large rear sprockets.

Instead increase the front sprocket size, decrease the rear sprocket size, should put also less stress on the tires and cush drive.

I've ordered a 9300 H4 led light, rather than the higher power halogen bulb.
The halogen bulb uses close to 60W. The led light uses <20W.
