That looks like more of an MX bike than a duner!!! I like it! I just recently got me 05, i had a Z 400 before and duned like a champ, but it was built, aint been on a stock width quad in 2 years! so its goin to take some gettin used to! I like the graphics, ima walk into DFR and get the fresnos as well, but see if sam can make me a custom set to match the red a lil better, the white in the red version dont go with anything on my quad
Well here it is, pretty stock lol (for now) I rattled the hubs and beadlock rings satin black today FYI

and ran over to DFR and grabed one of these! First mod that i personally did!!!! hopefully i can ride her for the first time sunday at the track!

When is your first trip, thinkin mine will be between the 10-18 of october sometime inbetween those dates

just to let you all no''' if you are running that little breather hose with that little vent on it,on the gas cap''like desertbound in the pic above. make sure you clean it very,very good''mine got dirt in it from moisture from the gas wetting the inside of it,and shut me down in the middle of the sand dunes.when i open'd the gascap to check on my ''full'' tank of gas,,the bike fired rite up an ran for a minute or so,then it died again,,then i pulled of that little vent and ran great all weekend. so now i use that carb cleaner in it from autozone.it drys and leaves no oil film or etc. its the little things like that,that can wreck the weekend.

Correct. That is nothing more than a ball/check valve. I use carb cleaner to blow it out and then compressed air.
And my definition of a duner is a lot different than most. I mx the dunes. I don't race the hill. Racing a hill is not suning. They just call the drag quads duners because they are not full drag. Most true duners you see will look like a mx quad with paddles. Shock valving is way different though. Different strokes for different folks.
Here's some pics of my other duners.
