hey guys, restoring my quad now, brand new maier red plastics race cut one piece front without hood for 400 with shipping, honda racing team flag, powder coating frame and other sorts, buying asv unbreakables in anodized holiday red (looks sick!), still dont know what sticker kit to get?????????? :( , ummmm, putting a 330 kit bolt on from esr soon, not now, and maybe a cr 250 ignition...um a red chain with a 12 tooth sprocket for more acceleration but less top speed...a new seat, brand new kickstart powder coated black, got it for a steal 55 dollars, thats pretty much all so far, o ya and wheel bearings and seals and ball joints, thanks for the suggestion on that everyone from my other thread :)

i have one question, I BOUGHT THIS FLAG AS SEEN IN THE PICS, WHAT FLAG HOLDER SHOULD I BUY, A SPRINGY RIGHT BECAUSE THE BILLET ONE BY TUSK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT MAKES THE POLE BREAK, AND ALSO WHERE THE HELL DO I BUY A FLAG POLE FOR MY NEW FLAG LMAO, AND SPRINGY SHOULD I GO WITH 1/4 OR 5/16? ITS OFFERED IN BOTH, MY FLAG IS 3 FEET BY 5 FEET.

ps, the plastics are identical to the picture just in red :)

well let me tell you from other peoples points of view, the 330/340/ even 310 possibly, feels more like a 500cc two stroke but it is a LOT more rideable than a 370 puma for instance. i think the 330 is the best bc well 1, more power :), but yea for these reasons.

1. It is the largest bolt on you can do, this is basically "stroking the motor" oppose to boring the hole bigger with machinery, aka causing your reliablity to go poo poo, they do make a 330 non bolt on but i think thats only if you have an 86 or 87, they make the option for that reason. Where do you live

2. and to me, this is the border line of keeping reliability against gaining power, but hey IMO.
