Gorgeous but I think the factory side graphics would set it off. Also, do you have a close up the axle/carrier/swinger setup? My rear end is giving me problems.

[REDRIDDER]

nice quad, yeah it needs some kind of graphics..but still looks good with out them.

[d3ktrix]

Thanks for the complements.
Ya I couldn't find any graphics I really liked.

Whats wrong with yours?

Nice!

That thing looks a mile wide.

[BlaineKaiser450]

dude that looks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick!!!!

[pro-rider46]

quad looks killer... i like it a lot without graphics, but some of those General Lee Graphics would look nice...

[NikNacs67]

Awesome, thanks. Do you have any on the other side. I bought an east coast atv carrier and a g-force axle and my sprocket hubs hitting my carrier and I have very little splines left to hold the splined threads with the axle nut past the brake hub.

Yeah when you use an east coast atv carrier with the gforce sprocket hub/axle you need to grind a little less then an 1/8" off the outer lip of the carrier.
Same thing happened on my friends bike.
Mine clears good with my RPM sprocket hub though.

keep the clean look, don't put on any graphics. how are the odi grips? i have had a set since like september or october and have not had a chance to ride with them yet. they feel good though on my flexx bars though...

[d3ktrix]

The ODI's are great, there the only grips I've found that can both not give me blisters ever and not spin.

Clamp on grips should be a standard thing IMO.

[dancap]

Looks amazing john. Nice work for sure!

We going riding this weekend? couch pit..

p.s. Like I've told you before, black front non-bead lock hipers and orange rear hipers would set that quad off, def. no graphics though.

[d3ktrix]

Thanks

Yeah I'm good for the pit this weekend.

A new car would come before hipers :P

[Seano300ex]

bike looks awesome, actually looks very similar to mine w/ orange plastic. but not as much after market stuff, yet! i wanna get these graphics for my bike, i think they would look real tight w/ orange

Yeah those are nice, If I do ever get graphics those would be 1 of my top choices.

[Civicssuck]

Hot damn! Wouldn't even want to get it dirty.

[fasterblaster89]

My sister took the pictures for me, she's a professional photographer.
The camera she used was a Canon 5D 12MP.

[bloodmoney23]

looks really good D3. why didnt you polish the whole clutch cover though? The only reason I ask is personally i cant stand that stock green/brown color paint. But it does look really nice. I like it alot w/o graphics.

[NJ450rider]

Hey when you guys say couch pit do you mean Couches? Where are you guys in NJ?

Your 450r looks awesome.

I was originally going to have the clutch and valve covers powder coated either candy blue or mirror black.
I wanted to start riding though so I just polished the clutch cover.
I only did the face of it because I have zero polishing tools. I did all the polishing on the bike by hand with just wet/dry paper and mothers.
I knew it would of taken for ever to get in the tight areas on the sides of the cover, and never would look perfect unless I had a dremel or something.

The header and mid pipe on the sparks has like 3 hours of wet/dry sanding. It was super dark brown before. Had a mirror finish when I was done, but as soon as I ran it of course it started to brown.
The the rear bead locks were also almost white from last seasons abuse. Had to totally disassemble those and sand them down. Still not perfect though.

[DEERCHOOPER]

looks good guy

[d3ktrix]

Finally got to a track for the first time this season the other day.

[Civicssuck]

Poor thing! haha still looks good though :bandit:

[MAD450r]

Very nice job. I love how low and wide it is.

What width arms are on there +2.5 or +3

Mine has +2.5 ST arms but its right at 50 inches for me and handles like a dream. Someday I'll try some long travels, just to say I tried them.

[d3ktrix]

There +3 a-arms with 3:2 front rims.
Soon I should have some 4:1 though to get it back under 50"

[quadracer505]

what brand steering stabilizer is that? I bought that same stabilizer off of a guy and he didn't know what brand it was. I was thinking about rebuilding it is the only reason I ask. thanks. your quad is super nice. I am jealous

[d3ktrix]

Its a Denton, same as a Gibson also.

[WB450r]

D3, where did u get ur motowoz shock covers from..ive been trying to find sum....also how much did u pay for them..thanks..

[d3ktrix]

[roundsy]

what lengths are your shocks? fr and bk? thanks

i'm debating those a-arms how do you like them?

[d3ktrix]

My fronts are 19.75" and I think my rear is 17"

The a-arms are great, never had any problems with them. I've landed in ways I thought something would be twisted for sure, but they were fine.
And the ball joints are still original, and while I had everything apart for the rebuild they still felt like they were brand new.
There just not the most fancy looking a-arm :P

[roundsy]

i really like the looks of them and the price...:P

i'm getting a set of 20.5" and 17.5" elkas this weekend and i'm just hoping they aren't too long for those arms . I plan on running the dual link in the back, hows that been for you on the stock swinger?

The elka link is also good stuff, that combo'd with my shock is great for the whoops. The seat doesn't nail me in the spin anymore unless it's rider error :P

My friend had an LSR Outlaw setup with an Axis shock last season on his race bike, right now hes running a Leager swinger with the Elka dual link and an Elka shock.
I dunno if its the shock or the link doing it but he says he likes the Elka setup better.
