no I don't plan on going to iraq. But trust me this thing is going to be way sick. The air box is not metal. I don't do it to be bullet proof but it's still going to be.

As far as the quad rate well I have triple rates:( . except the motor the rest of the quad is not that expensive. Since I go to university and don't have any money but there are going to be some home mad never seen before parts that are super sick. Sorry no more hints I don't want to get DQ'ed. I get you'll have to wait. but good luck to you

are you talking to me???
if so and you are refering to the pic in my avatar. no that it just a custom ( home made ) head light cover. Just one of the things that is going to make me WIN the build off lol.

If you are not talking to me then never mind

ZSK

No, not talking to you. I made a cover just like your's for the race season this year worked good. Headlights are back in for winter riding though. I was refering to the picture that Pappy origionally posted.

You didnt powdercoat the frame? If you painted it yourself give me some info on how you did it because I wanna paint mine but not have to pay to get it powdercoated.

44oEX
11-05-2004, 05:23 PM
well to paint the frame sand it good and shoot paint. Put some primer and paint then clear. I used car paint in a paint gun but you can use just spray paint if you want the finish isn`t as good but it`s cheaper.
