View Full Version : Alright I've Had It!!
This thing has been sitting in my apartment for the past 3 weeks, and it's really starting to bug me:p I had to take pictures or do something with it while I'm waiting on parts to put it back together.
Pappy did an awesome job as always!
No bolt will go uncleaned:D
I'm going with a black, blue, chrome color scheme. Everything on the motor will be black, including the pipe and silencer.
Rebuild thread soon to come.

Wow, definentely keep us informed! What kind of bolt kit is that? I like the color.
I got the bolt kit off eBay. Great quality from what I can tell so far.

just so you know stainless is a weaker metal than heat treated steel, don't expect those bolts to be indestructible
Yeah, I figured they wouldn't be as strong as stock...but they sure look purty:)

What a POS......Just kidding man its coming along real nice.
PS: The first race with the tires I got a huge 2inch gash in one of the Kendas. I hate tracks that cant keep the chit off of them like metal. I also crashed on a tripple and bent my stem, tie rods, and axle so Im doin my own mini rebuild. With the money that I dont have:blah:

Yeah, I heard about your bad luck. Good luck getting it straightened out.
On a lighter note, I have a straight stock axle (and a stem I believe) if you are interested;)

That frame looks tasty:scary:

You must care more about your frame than your car! lol!:D
This is an XC quad with the new Houser Slicast arms.
Haha, that's my gas saver. I paid $1000 for it, and uses about $25 every 2 weeks in gas:D

How much did it cost to get your sub frame chromed and who did it if you dont mind me asking
I bought it from Pappy that way. Not sure who did it for him.
I think it is coming along nicely:devil:

looking good..u should scrub that motor down again..
Yeah, I'm not done with the motor yet. It's just frustrating knowing it's going to look like that again after a couple muddy rides:mad:
I think it's going to look o.k.:D
Assembly has been slow, but so has my cash flow. All parts are on order though, and should be completed within the next 2 weeks....o :huh Oh well, it almost rhymed:p
Talk about wrong parts at the wrong time:cool:

word...:huh
its looking really good so far i cant wait to see it when u start getting more parts.
It's killing me that I'm so close to finishing and can't ride:mad: All I lack is exhaust *cough*pappy*cough* :p, and couple other things, and then i can put the fire to it.
Mind you, these pictures suck. But, I will get better quality pics when it's complete.:)

what kind of bumper and hood are you going with and what kind of exhaust???:D

Lookin good Dustin.
What color blue is your frame.
I'm going with a Maier scooped hood, PRM Summit bumper, and Rossier black can w/ black header:D. The frame looks solid blue in the pic, but it is trans blue.
