They should be easy to come by too because many 500 owners are using the 600 gear on their 500s.

Really like the 500 gear on the B400.
Can you post a quick tutorial of how you fitted the new gear?

Can you post a quick tutorial of how you fitted the new gear? actually it is very easy, all you have to do is make 4 new holes I think i used 1/16" drill bit but the hardware that comes w/ the skids you can only use the front nut and bolt the back will need to be longer here is a pic
