This is where we are as of right now, We will be doing several things to it over the next few weeks, I wanted to get it all done before FT season gears up.

We already know that we will be replacing some items , Ill be replacing them with these
Fullbore plastic
Chassis
SwingArm
HandleBars
misc. Tranny components( shiftforks ect)
Chassis and Misc parts will be Powercoated
New Subframe(mines bent)
New Bumper( Troy ran it into a front loader MX racing lol )
New Seat cover
New Nerf Bars


I have been wanting to give my quad a face lift for a LOOONGGGG Time now ,and itr would seem like someone else always needed something first, so nothing better stand in my way this time!!!!! :grr:

MY bumper will be the new Creech Blingstar bumper, I will more than likely go with another set of PRo Armor Nerfs, but its not decided totaly yet. MY Swinger is a Roll Design ,seat cover Im shooting for another JEttrim, if the colors will work for what I am wanting, Im still waiting on some samples, Handlebars are Trail Tech,Fullbore will be my favortie color..... ORANGE...

Ill be posting up to date pics on how it all takes place . :blah:

Unless I have an issue w/ my powdercoater , Ill be doing it Candy Purple :D IT will be the frame,case covers,stem,Swinger and any other small pieces I can find . I fugured this would be the best time to do a make over since we already had my Axle off and we now have to tear into my Tranny

What is the deal with ya'll and tranny issues QJ...... :blah:

Should look great. Now you just need to get Troy a quad too and you two can have matching color combos. That would look pretty slick. :cool:

LOL! hey now.. I thanked everyone!!:blah:

I WAS going to go with Pink/black scheme, but it was way too hard to find a seat cover to match :( That was my 1st choice :ermm:

I was thinking of giving BRM a call and ordering some custome vinyl plates once my PC and plastic arrives, what color of plates should I go with (background,outlines ect.) I liked the selecion they have .

Im fairly confident the Vavles are good to go too, I run C-12 so I think this is why they are this color.. Ive had no loss in power or any issues ,but since its all torn down, we thought this would be a good time to reaplce anything that needs replaced, including upgrading bolts,tranny parts,all gaskets ect...

Im thinking of sending to Pappy if he has some free time ! :D

WEll, I found out tonight I have 6 in total to replace:grr: I had a feeling it would be this way, 1st gear wore down very strange, I am going to also replace the Barnett Clutch kit I have , I HATE it, Ill be going back to stock or maybe trying a EBC, I cant afford a Hinson right now .So as usual, some added expense will be added :(

Im jealous!! you are VERY lucky, I have one guy locally, but I cant seem to get ahold of him :ermm: He done TRoys frame and done a beautiful job. I need to get this done soon though, cuase it could be getting painted while we are getting all the other stuff done ! :eek2:

yea i was thinking about getting her to have my sub frame chrome dipped....hehe

if i could help you in anyway i could i kno there are like 2 or 3 p/c companys arround here that i could find out for you if they would do it and what it would cost...

For that price you could have it shipped to Pappy and it would still be cheaper. Thats why I never got my frame powdercoated, and I settled with the auto paint I could get.

Fullbore orderecd today, I got the Chrome Tank Cover as well, I also ordered the PRo Armor Nerfs w/ pegs/heels guards, Blingstars DC bumper, new Head Gaskets, ALL NEW gears, we decided not to mix original and new anymore and just start with a fresh Tranny, I now need to oprder a seat cover and Custom numbers, just not sure who to order from on the numbers just yet ... My seat will more than likely be another Jet Trim(Like Troys was) if the color schemes match up.


Im also going to order new clutch kit, I hate the Barnett, I had better luck with OEM plates,so that will be ordered as well .
Ill be shipping off the frameand misc parts to have PC'd as soon as I get it all boed up, Im hoping for early next week,Troy will work on reessembing the motor while its being done .!!!

Oh and the nets are new :)

09-10-2005, 10:48 AM
definately a smart thing to do it immediately, it would suck to have them break off and rub against the wheels or somehting like that, how did your daughter's break and what happened?

sO Ill be ordering this in a few, I just HOPE it fits whereIll be chopping off my old grab bar, I was told to get a 450r grabb bar or a 89 250r grab bar. I like how this one has a place fort he number plate :) so Ill be calling Jeff at Blingstar again to order more BLING for my quad tomorrow.

QuadJunkies
09-11-2005, 08:36 PM
I also ordered this today...

I also found out after a more complete inspection that I basically should replace my Entire tranny gears and shift forks and start fresh instead of mixing old na new gears, my other gear were OK, but we went ahead and ordered all new gears and two new shift forks:ermm: also I will need a new basket as I have a little more play in it than I prol. should, this might ecplain why I have been slipping out of gear and replacing 1st and 2nd two years in a row! :scary:
My new plastic should be here Tues. :D

09-11-2005, 09:50 PM
those are great airboxes, I have been running mine for 2 years. The only week spot I have found is the rear bracket, mine had a small crack running across it ( thats 2 years of GNCC racing and some playtime on motorcross tracks ), so I just replaced it with a stainless steel bracket and all is well.

QuadJunkies
09-13-2005, 11:35 AM
Ill also be adding a rear custom plate ,rear fenders and front nose piece with a set of mxprographx. When I get my new gear, he will make me a new custome number for my shirt and checst protector to match:) Don was a great pleasure to deal with. I cant wait to see the finished product!

I chose the design on the left :)

Wait until you see the material I picked for my seat cover>> OMG.. ITs da bomb!!!!

Mine broke 2 weeks after i had them from excessive jumping and the heel gaurds smashing on the ground. this happens when you mount the propeg mount upside down in order to lower your pegs an inch.

so i got it welded and it happened again the next time i went riding :mad: So i went over to a buddy rusty's house and see what he could have done. This guy is a nasty welder and does awesome work! hes going to be doing my gusset kit durring the winter. anyways, this is what we came up with. look how much thicker the aluminum gusset is. i think pro-armor shoud go back to the R&D department and seek out ideas like i had ;)

I ended up replacing ALL tranny components to be safe ,so that took alot more exspenditure than I had planned :( But its better to be safe and then I wont have to do it again for a long time ,its had ALOT of miles on it,so it was due.
MY gaskets, new chain and roller arrived today

Im really stoked cause it will have its own look.. ;)


I was thinknig MAYBE... New wheels...... :devil: IF I have enough left over we will see if so. this will be what I might get , Ive wanted them for a long time now ... :D

I like the Hypers, but I cant think what they would have that I would like color wise...??

Maybe Ill just go with another set of Burgards. :)

It just hope it fits! It will be use to do the Grab bar mod so it will be cut and fitted before I ship it off to Pappy. This is the MXC grab bar from Blingstar, it comes with a place on the back to mount your number plate .

Heres the Alum. box . it arrived to day also.. A new seat cover will be delivered in a few days, Im also thinking of MAYBE a new pipe,or at least a new can mine is dented and could use a new one. Im just not sure what Pipe to get that would be worth paying the price when I already have a Yoshi full system.

the heatshield looked like it had some ripples on the top of it, i think its from the polishing someone had once done on it and the pc brought it out. if it looks bad when installed, send it back and ill do it in stealth black to hide it.

Yes since we did the big bore I had a feeling it would be like this :rolleyes: it's "on the edge" which I didn't think it needed to be, heck the kid rides the hell outta it & does good w/o the 240 but ya know "he feels the need for more speed" LOL ;)

I never said race it, I said ride it.I think size has very little to do with how you ride. SHe has the basics down and just needs to learn how to ride somthing bigger. How old is she now? I am going to put paige on my YFZ this winter!

This year will be her year to get some seat time on it,but her racing it will be a bit still (she thinks shes gonna convince me otherwise lol:p )

Your 400ex is looking rediculously awsome! You've given me a few good idea's for mine this winter, I just hope I've got the dough to put into it. I'm going to make a lot of my own parts though (I'm a machinist) and I have a sand blaster, paint gun, and looking into powder coating now.
