i think i'm gonna stay with this color scheme.i like the overall look.some different color grips,and some blue fork boots will be the only changes.afetr i get the quad back,and after our annual wellsville ride,she's goning on the block.i can't stand to see it all dirty like this.then again,it's just my beater!!,lol.regardless i want it nice.

one other thing i have to do is lengthen the shifter.it way stubby,and hard to use.i gotta ride in tennis shoes right now,and i don't like that at all.the kicker is working well.it's from 96 500,all i did was flaten the frame a little bit,and ground down the kicker.it fits up inside the pipe perrfect.well,here she is

i'd also work on the brake lever.... look into a 86 200x brake spring... from the looks of things, you could put it behind the lever, hook the one end at the footpeg, and weld a stem on the bottom of your brake lever, and VIOLA! you'd have a spring......

if speedbump has another ride you'll be able to fly up the steep hill we were doing where you hit his buddy. the atc500 turned out really cool.

"REX" needs a 13 tooth for the next time. i was thinking of bringing the trx and atc250r if there one. so i have a choice and a backup.

I think I can show you some. Made some sick sick sick sick ones last weekend. No problem for the 500. But you better bring your brass clankers.

The swinger looks sweet. Nice job. Is that just the factory one extended?:drool:

not scraped,gently massaged with a 16oz. ball ping:idea: instead of making a shim out of another kicker,i clearenced the frame.don't worry,after paint,you won't be able to tell.
