Evolution of my EX

[bkelley]

My quad has came a long way in the past few months, so I decided to make a little slide show of the progress I have made.

I also gotta say thanks to all you guys, and girl(s), here. You have helped me out a lot during this whole process.

i think that bumper is freakin bad a**, what kind of camera did you take the pictures with???

[bkelley]

Just some normal point and shoot cameras. The better looking ones were taken with a 12.2 MP FujiFilm Finepix J38 and the others with an old 3.2 MP Cannon Powershot.

I just used a can of high temp spray paint that I got from Home Depot. It's rated for 1200 degrees. It's made for engine parts, BBQs, etc. It's been about 10 hours of riding time since I painted it and so far it's holding up great.

And thanks, ACE. I can't wait to throw some black wheels on, too. Then they'll look really good.

thanks They eyes on the KFX shocks are thicker than the TRX ones. That's why I had to trim them. If you get TRX shocks all you have to do is knock off the nut on the frame that your plastics bolt to.
