Ok so this is a pretty retarded idea but i've got an ol 1999 kawasaki bayou 220 jus sittin aroun and i was wonderin if u guys had any ideas i could do to it to trick it out. i kno that fmf makes a exhaust pipe for it cus i read it in one of my 4 wheeler mags but so far here's wat im thinkin on doin to it . first dif exhaust system. second k&n air filter. thrird fabricate some nerfs for it. fourth take the racks off. fifth get some maxiss razr's on it. Sixth put some aftermarket handlebars on it. Seventh possibly figure out some way to get a diff front suspension on it because the suspension on it the front of all bayous suck. eighth make this thing faster and more off a jumping candidate because i have family that ride with me and want a faster quad because they've been ridin the bayou (my old quad) for quite a while and are tired of it bein so doggy. so do u guys have any other ideas. plz no smarta** comments even tho it sounds retarded.

Ya nuthin is set in stone yet but if i don't do it one of my friends who can't afford a sport quad might do it. but does anybody have any ideas on how i can maybe get a set of elkas on teh front.

i think the first thing i would do is the front tires and the camber of them. some how cut a peace out and weld it back up and reinforce it some how.

if you do that you may want to make the lower arms a lil longer than you make the top ones to try and fix the weird way the wheels sit
(i forgot the right word for it but they point in like this \ / )

dude thats the camber and there are only bottom a-arms and no top ones :( it wil be a big job but prolly well worth it in the end.

Port and polish, take air box lid off, see if you can get a bigger carb to fit on it, mill the head.
