Hey, I figured I just post a few of mine own. I've been checking out everyone else's MX builds and figure I'd show just 1 picture of a before and after my winter rebuild. If anyone would like to know any info, I'd be happy to share, but for now I'll let the pics do the talking. Hope you guys like it. Thanks.

Before....

looks good. Would you want to sell those old red plastics? I wanna get some red ones.

Thanks, I think, lol.

More I look at it, the more crappy the picture makes the bike look. Gonna grab a few more tomorrow to do it better justice.

Sorry, I put the plastics on my Practice/Quad Wars bike now. After this past season of Quad Wars, don't think you want them anymore. :devil:

A bit better....

what did you do with your red deat cover? the bike looks sweet but you need to put more white on there so your hood dont stick out so much.

To be honest, I wanted the hood to stick out, ALOT. Everyone around here has about every color combo thought of, so to stand out on the track is difficult. Again, the pics don't show all the white in the graphics, which really helps it blend. I took a few more today, and I'll get them up here in a bit.

The Quad Tech seat is on my practice bike. Its a brick!! Must be the Low-Pro seat cause its so hard, I couldn't take it during races. Came with this bike I just redid.

I do appreciate all the comments. I was going to try and make a run at QOTM so that everyone can see the amazing job George at GenX did on this hood. So anything to maybe help my efforts, I do appreciate. I did manage to get one that shows what makes the hood do different.

Looks Good. I really like the hood.

Hey thanks everybody. Really appreciate the kind words. I sent all the pics to the man who made the hood, and he even said, "Looks good, but nothing close to what its like in person" I did the best I could with showing it, but a camera can only do so much, lol. Thanks again guys.

Looks great, except you should have kept your old bumper. Iron cross is the ugliest bumper produced in my opinion.
The hood is really neat looking though. Something I'd like to actually see in person.

Butter

Lol, I still have the old bumper, but I'm a man who loves his Iron Cross bumpers. My bro feels the same way though, so your not the only one.

Hey, resurrecting an old post, but its my own, so its all good. I have no before on this bike, but here's an after. I worked alot on this bike while being out of everything with a broken arm, torn tendon, nerve damage, and dental surgery on 4 knocked out teeth. Its been a horrible year, but I'm still around, so it could be worse.

I got Std. travel fully adjustable Axis fronts on Lonestar race series +2+1 arms. Not currently on the bike, but after this weekend will be, I have a brand new PC'd Blood Red '07 swinger, Lonestar DC6 link, and Axis LT fully adjustable rear going on it. And again, this is my practice/quad wars bike, so I didn't want to go full out on looks, because it goes through more abuse than my race bike does, so whatever I could find for cheap went on it. And I had GenX make me an identical hood to my race bike. LMK what you think. Enjoy!!!

And of course I forgot, now has LeoVince Titanium X3 full exhaust, and Douglas wheels all around. Brand new brake pads, new decompression assembly, oils and filters were all also put on to get it in shape.
