Bike is looking nice man! Kurt at spastic does some good work! The beadlocks look good, but if you have money down the road id powdercoat the wheels, it will last alot longer then the paint.

spanky101
03-30-2009, 06:31 PM
Haha i was just bout to ask when your shocks were coming man! but it looks great! Just outta curiousity, why didnt you send the shocks to Baldwin instead of shipping them out to sf?
liljhall09
03-30-2009, 06:37 PM
Well my neighbor Matt Shapaka runs Pro-Am and Seth at SF does his shocks and i noticed his shocks were great, so that's why i went there ! And they were sent today so i should have them by this weekend im hoping ! lol

spanky101
03-30-2009, 07:56 PM
A SF Racing hood would look sick man, honestly any of the quadtech hoods would look sick too! But thats cool your neighbors with Shapaka!! Hes definatly a quick guy!!
06 Honda 450R
03-30-2009, 08:14 PM

X2 lol. Seth is the man I just got my new rear shock and redone fronts on friday... SO MUCH BETTER THEN BALDWIN!
liljhall09
03-31-2009, 11:58 AM
so he did a pretty good job ?
Nac's22
03-31-2009, 12:10 PM
He did an amazing job. Baldwin did the suspention on my 400ex and my 250r and SF did my 450r. My 450 is the best out of all of them so when I get money the 250 stuff and the 400es stuff is being sent to SF.
if u do get a new hood. ill buy that one. pm me
liljhall09
04-01-2009, 11:31 AM

When are you gunna ride it?
liljhall09
04-03-2009, 10:36 AM
took it riding last night and when u push the front end down it stays. Talked to seth at SF and he said i need to remove the powdercoat in the a-arm joints ! So im gonna do that then see how they feel
born2ride14
04-04-2009, 06:38 AM
Also dont tighten the nuts down on the a arms and shocks. Just make sue they are snug tight. the a arms should mouve up and down freely. hope this helps.
liljhall09
04-04-2009, 09:35 AM
alright thanks 300maniac
spanky101
04-04-2009, 09:35 AM
Best of luck with the fix man! Just make sure that everything moves freely when you move them up and down. Good luck man, this build is looking awesome man!
liljhall09
04-04-2009, 11:13 PM
took the a arms off today and wire wheeled the powdercoat off inside the a arm joints. greased everything and put it back together, shocks seem to work alot better now ! Ill have pics tomorrow of it outside
spanky101
04-04-2009, 11:48 PM
Im stoked to see how it looks in some actual decent lighting! The quad should look killer!
liljhall09
04-05-2009, 10:44 AM
Well here's some outside pics from today, pretty much finished except some little things like handguards and that little stuff. let me know what you think i should do diff

04-05-2009, 10:47 AM
and close up of the motor
spanky101
04-05-2009, 02:32 PM
Looks good bro! The only think i would proboly change would be the hood but thats just a personal preference. If it was me id check out TRP's stuff, cheap compared to quadtech and gen x and nice stuff!
liljhall09
04-05-2009, 03:00 PM
ya i was also looking at SF hoods, if i get rid of mine i gotta order a new number background for the hood. so idk yet
spanky101
04-05-2009, 04:32 PM
