oh and one more thing i forgot to mention is that I dont plan on doing some racing but i dolike to have a whole lot of power ... abit like a speed freak .... went around 75mph last weekend on my dirt bike and i was looking for another gear ...it felt like i was just cruising.... i would also do alot of trail/road riding as well as sand pit riding .....would the set up be ok ...what would you guys recomend

whats the price on this thing.... go do a visual inspection.... especially concentrating on the frame looking for cracks.

[bazmaster03]

he wants as close as he can get to 4000$ cdn .....quads around that year here they sell around 5000$ or higher depending if its stock or not.....
the guy is like 4 hours away from where i am so when i go take a look at it its pretty much to go buy it ...unless he doesnt want to go down if there are cracks in the frame ....the guy seems to be honest enough for the details of the quad tho ...

[bazmaster03]

i can weld good enough so if there are cracks in the frame depending on where it is i might be able to fix it .... how much does a replacement frame cost around anyways.... new and used

sounds like a real good deal to me personally if the visual checks out to be good! and a new frame is $1000+ and a used one would prolly be around $300-500 or so.
