My bike is pretty much set up for this desert season.... whole new motor setup, new plastics, paddles, ( sand tires and wheels not shown) and a few other odd ends. ive been thinking between e new front tag bumper, cooler rack, maybe buy some polished case sides off of ebay to dress up the engine compartment more.... new seat? what do you guys think??

Nerfs, then graphics. Looks good though. Keep the black seat. I like the way it goes against the white.

Tickle Me Elmo? Ok. Yeah, I hope your fast enough to back that up. Bumper is another good idea though. Definatley get you some pegs and nerfs. You'll love them.

sweet ideas guys! thanks... the tickle me elmo though, ill definately have to think about it... i figured a barney doll'd be fine but, ill have to be real fast in order to justify that one...:D

the seat im not sure if i'd wanna go with a hi-flite red or black or keep a stock seat deal but in red or keep the black...... the bumper ive thought about and hadn't found one i liked except for the tag metals bumper.

i built some new shrouds for it, removed the heel guards....

on the widening deal, i think i have pleanty of offset with my sand wheels setup.... i think it come's out to a +1 1/4 with the wheels i have... its just wide enough where its stable but really sharp cutting into turns and letting it hang out when i nail it...

the nerfs wont work out too good sincde im limited to where my bike fits in the truck.... unless i get a trailer i think ill have to hold on the nerfs. :(

ill get a current photo with the guards and off, the wider wheels on it, and the new shrouds...

If they didn't help so much, I would run without nerfs,saved me a couple of times.

I wonder whom you got that idea from?

get nerfs, they dont stick out past your wheels so it doesnt make quad any wider. Nerfs will not keep your quad from fitting into your truck bed. A sweet looking bumper will change appearence a lot.

well, i only have a toyota shortbed pickup to haul all my desert gear in. space where the peags are at usually get packed with a tool box, ice chest and other essentials so no space is usually wasted in there........ im a mexican so i can pack a truck very well :D lol nah, but really, its usually packed to the rails. nerfs would kinda complicate things a bit.... :huh

What about graphics? Maybe some Duncan's since you got their exhaust. Nerfs later on. Also black wheels would look sweet! Just paint your originals.:)

the black wheel idea aint bad... ive been thinking about that but i need something thats gonna hold up to the way i ride.... i tend to do alot of sliding around with the *** end out and tends to chew up and ding the outside of the wheels..... i think it may chip up or fade due to that...

the nerf's ill likely get later once i get a trailer... i just cant afford the room issues right now.

the graphics are a toss up since i like the real clean look with the plain white and the polished accents. i was gonna get another original decal for the exhaust but the no decal look grew on me.

Some simple factory looking graphics would be good. Don't paint your wheels though, its too easy to make them look like a hack job. Nerfs... If you had them, you would never go back. When I put mine in the bed of my truck, I stack stuff on top of my nerfs. And, find ya a bumper. I have an AC and like the way it looks.
