I bought this 05 used back at the first of the year and decided to give it a good cleanup this weekend. I spent part of yesterday repacking the a-arm bushings to eliminate a squeak and then cleaned on it the rest of the weekend. What do you think? :)

I'm still waiting on the left hand TRX 400EX sticker-the local shop ordered the wrong one.

It looks like the spark boot isn't on the plug in the first picture.

Are you seeing the oil cooler maybe? It's definitely on-I drove it around the yard after taking the pics. ;)

That's a clean ride. Are those new plastics?

In our woods and on a friends property. I live just a few miles south of Memphis, TN.

No, I'm just a detail junky! I used Meguiar's HyperDressing on the plastic to give it the shine. They have plenty of tree rash actually...

WTF is Meguiar's Hyperdressing? Armor all on steroids?

Pretty much. I use it on my Mach 1's engine bay. It's part of Meguiar's Detailer Line (http://meguiars.com/?detailer-dressings/Hyper-Dressing) so you don't find it in stores.

Here is Hyper Dressing on the Mach.
