I recently picked up this quad for my son. It's an Adly. The guy I got it from told me that Adly is (or was) the manufacturer for Polaris mini's, and several others. The paperwork for the quad says Adly and Kasea, so I'm assuming they are the same? It's an older, single a arm quad. The motor says Her Chee on the side by the kick starter. Anyone know anything about these, or have any info? It has KoolKids a arms on it, and the guy I bought the quad from said they had some good info on the quad, but I've yet to call them.
Anyway, it was a good deal and it's a nice, well set up little quad, and it freakin rips!. The guy I got it from had set it up for racing, but his kid outgrew it. I just stripped it down to powdercoat the frame and give it a little makeover. Got some new DRR plastics for it, new bumper, stuff like that.
My first question is regarding shocks. Where can I find some 9 3/4" shocks? Most shocks I find on ebay or here are around 12" long? All three shocks are the same length- 9 3/4". It had some sort of aftermarket or non-original piggyback resi shocks on the front, and when I took it apart one fell completely apart. I was looking around for some used Elka's or Works- something I can have set up for him. Or maybe some other brands take offs? Any ideas? "Brand New" shocks definately aren't in the budget. LOL
Next, what about these drum brakes? It has front and rear drum brakes. Can they be changed? Another brands discs fit, etc? The drum brakes work fine, but.... they're drum brakes! haha
Thanks for any info!
