That bubble is usually where Suzuki and Kawi put their reverse switch. The tabs that I'm talking about are welded to the frame right where the to bumper mounts are.

Yeah I see what your talking about, no clue what they would be for though...

Also, I kind of liked the brown on the engine...

I believe the tabs you're talking about is what the front bumper attaches to off of the frame......I see no tabs...

At first glance I thought the bumper was mounted to the frame rails. You could be right now that I look at it hard. If thats the way it mounts, it looks like weak mounts and brackets. I hope the rest of the chassis isn't that weak.

I agree....those brackets and mounts would fold under the slightest pressure...

Is that any different than any of the other sport quads out there? The bumpers are just there for show really.

Looks awesome.......finally..if it is real.....it will mean FINALLY japan has met an american companies invention. Kawasaki is known for not the best performance...but solid well made products...and ive ridden both teh zuk and kaw bikes..and the kaw is better. Soo all thats left to know is if its wide......and if those shocks are better then kfx400 shocks.

(the reverse is neat though......this will be my next quad if its the real deal)

the Dale's bumper is much more stable than any other bumper I've ever seen on any other sport quad...as far as the way it mounts...would say it's much more durable.

Looks good from what little of pictures their are. I might sell the Dale for this
