..yup she decided her mini quads had to be the same colors as her KTM race bikes :eek:

[JIM GRACE]

^^^^ jeff, I thought this was your frame done already. Lolol

Stay organized and take your time, can't wait to
see the progress.

[jerkyboy]

Jeff we will be looking for forward to seeing the after after
pictures. Better get going the season will be starting before you
can blink an eye.

[tyler70t]

XXX what color orange did you use on the frame?
Jim, every part is on the workbench and every nut and bolt will be in it's own ziplock bag and labeled.
We will probably sandblast all the parts this weekend and hopefully all the powdercoating will be done by next weekend. Then I can start putting it back together, less the front shocks, they need to go to Elka to get rebuilt unless someone knows of a local person who will rebuild them and set them up for Tyler.

[tyler70t]

Decided to go with orange on the frame.

[JIM GRACE]

Color looks perfect !! Nice job

when do ya start putting it back together,
that's when the fun starts. Lol

[tyler70t]

Jim,
After talking the other night I think you were right. I will be putting it back together as soon as the black parts are all ready. Not in a big rush but I know the season is going to sneak up on us FAST!!!!

[Coley'sdad#8]

hey dude whats goin on its James with the orange yfz number 35. hows the off season been to ya i see ur trying to steal my colors .haha. hows the lil dude been? ive recently gotten into dirtbikes so u might be seein me on 2 less wheels at atco! hahah

[tyler70t]

Hey James, we have been staying busy, you going to the Atco Banquet this Saturday? two wheels.......come on ( cheaper though)

[tyler70t]

Put the Trackside back on but I have noticed that if I make a mount fo the inside of the back grab bar the pipe has more clearance from the frame under the motor. HMM????

[Coley'sdad#8]

yeah , the trackside comes with NOTHING. you have to get springs, make silencer hanger and i had to make correct exhaust flange to fit it. not a complete sale IMO.

[tyler70t]

OK the panic button has now been hit. We went the awards banquet last night and got this year's schedule..............March 7th is the first race...........Gotta get moving on this !!!

Trackside pipe was designed for the Apex, if you have an apex you have everything needed to run the pipe.

[Coley'sdad#8]

so you go buy a new propane barbecue grill, get it home and discover the regulator and the wheels are not with it. you call grill mfg and they say " this grill was marketed for people that already had this brand gas grill and you are supposed to re-use the old regulator and wheels because they should still be good.:D
Mars I understand what your saying but in my opinion if your going to sell something like that make it a complete package, specifically the exhaust flange because the wrong size could kill performance you designed pipe for.

[tyler70t]

I am not saying anything bad about my Trackside, we love the pipe. Just that I discovered I can get more clearance from the frame below the motor if I mount it on the inside of the grab bar as to the outside. This is actually going to be a really easy thing to change.

[marsrace2]

Yep, we mounted it that way a while back on our Apex also, really does give it more clearance.

To the other guy on the pipe your analogy is way off, but doesnt matter to me. I was just posting what I know of the pipe. It was built specifically for Apex Quads as a bolt on replacement to the Apex pipe.

[JIM GRACE]

20 days to go and a foot of ice and snow on the
ground. Looks the same as last year where
weather was a problem as well. Get those mud tires mounted, it's time again.

The great pumpkin is almost ready to get dirty.lol

[tyler70t]

Dropped the nerfs and rims off to get powdercoated today, hoping to have this thing back together soon.

[tyler70t]

[tyler70t]

almost done with this

[marsrace2]

Looks Good, keep the pics comin. It reminds me of what I have to look forward to when I get all our parts together and back from PC.

[JIM GRACE]

Almost got it wrapped up. Gonna look great.
What do ya think about painting the bars orange
could look cool

have you been past the track recently, I am
curious to see if it's shapping up or an ice rink. Lol

[jerkyboy]

Jim I don't see Kevin being able to do anything with the track.
The ground is still frozen. Not to overlook the 12" of snow still on the ground. As it thows it will be a sloppy mess, Can't see him
being ready for 3/6-7.

[JIM GRACE]

Hey mike,

there Is ice everywhere by me and
it's not going anywhere soon. I guess I figured
jeff could peak his head over the fence.

The first race from last year was cancelled
due to ice as well.

We are all looking forward to this season, but
we need some warmer weather quick.

Otherwise it's mud boggin time for sure.

Tell Dale, Brandon said hi.

[tyler70t]

Got this thing almost done but I am still waiting on the front shocks to get back................nerfs and rims are @ powdercoater..........Jeff

[jerkyboy]

Looking good Jeff. What does Tyler think?

[tyler70t]

Thanks Mike, Tyler thinks it really looks cool, he is liking how it's coming together. March 7th is coming quick.

[jerkyboy]

Ya Dale really likes his new 70 we have been doing a little
clutch tunning in the road. We drag it from mailbox to mailbox.
Here is a pic 70 is the one with the white/silver graphics.

[tyler70t]

The quads are looking great!. We are almost back together then it will be a race to tune it in!

[tyler70t]

[tyler70t]

[jerkyboy]

Looks good Jeff. Not sure about racing, still cant see the ground.
Theres about 10/11 inches of this white stuff on the ground.

[tyler70t]

nets

[tyler70t]

Mike,
The track doesn't look too bad right now, with some warm weather we might race. I drove past it today.

[marsrace2]

Very cool, but where did you get the colored nets?

[jerkyboy]

I think he made them himself. They look good Did your wife sew
them or was is that all you? Jeff's feminine side!!! lol

looking good ! are those 20's up front? nerfs and wheels really changed the look. tyler must be amped up.

hope your right about the track, its time to go racing!

[tyler70t]

I am done putting this quad back together now. What a job that was. Now we will start tuning.
Yes the nets were made right here at the house for a grand total of 14.99.
Still 19"'s up front but shopping for 20"s.
I'm sure there are going to be plenty of adjustments to make but I can now breathe a sigh of relief........no extra nuts or bolts!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tyler70t]

she's finished her job!!!:D

[tyler70t]

ready

[JIM GRACE]

wow !! looks alot different outside compared to the dark garage.

nice job !! where is the pic with the champ on it ?? tell him i will
see him in the morning, just not sure what time.
