what are little little things, that u think is cool, that u have done to ur quad?

for example: when i took my handlebar plastic off, i took the hose off the plastic(the pink one),that was used for the vent gas hose, and put it in the hole that infront of ur gas tank, so when i put my vent hose down it, it slide in better, cause theres a lip down the hole. also i drilled the pivets out of one of my warning stickers and put a sticker on the piece that bulges out, it look good.put my igniton in a cool place, and took my tool box off.

I have to say, little things make the quad... They are just nice little things that make it look that much better!

thats for sure, its funny, my neighbor has a good looking yellow 400ex, but whenever we are out riding or have them on the trailer together they (people) always look at mine, because i always have wd-40 on the plastic, have painted the tires, and have tire shine on them, and now i painted my brake caliper. cost to make it look good, about 2 bucks....haha, you cant even buy a jet for that.

one neat, cheap thing to do, get a box, punch some small holes in it, stick your bolts through the holes, and paint the heads of the bolts, very easy and you dont get paint on yurself

if you have beadlocks get the ring powder coated. It makes it look really nice.

cut fenders, polished a bunch of parts, painted a few miscelaneous(spel?) parts.

11-11-2002, 10:35 PM
yeah i think the little things really make the quad your own. i like powdercoating peoples small stuff...even if its just back to the oem color....cuz i know they will be happy and can say they did something to personalize their quad:p

if you don't want to do alot. just polish/take the paint off the letters in honda on the throttle cover. it looks better than you would think. or you can cut those stupid reflector posts off the grab bar.

roost maker those reflector posts are only on candian atvs i bangend mynew on them a few times when i was learning how to do wheelies. now that i have a twist throtle i think i whill have to polish my throtle cover on my thumb to see what it lookslike


i just wash it really good and use castrol super clean to take all of the hard to get dirt and yucky stuff off and then use either wd-40 or armorall either works good just dont put ot on the seat. i learnt that the first time i used amor all:eek:

I switched my over flow oil tube instead of coming out the front to the back. :p D*mn thing was leaking on my pipe and it kept smoking. I chromed my stock rims to give them in extra shine. even know they suck but what the hay:huh
