WOW
what a difference

what all did u do to clean er up like that? looks nice guy

[rooster300ex]

looks good

[polodinks]

lots of purple power, 4 tooth brushes, lots or armor all, and a good healthy trail riding diet lol...... i found out that if you use a sos pad lightly on the engine case it gets rid of that ugly brown stained color on it.... and the armor all makes all the fairings and all rubber and plastic and even the metal drips dirt off it and also give everything a nice sheen and the dirt wont stick to anything ;)

man that thing looks great!!! It's amazing what a good cleanin does!!!

[troyzstang]

Well done. It's very satisfying to bring an ATV back from the dead.
Congrats!!

Did you send the before & after to the previous owner. If not you should. To many ungrateful owners neglect nice bikes.

[BamBam730]

Looks great, you changed the seat also.

[Thumpin440ex]

That thing looks damn good.. WOW very nice.. Super clean for a bike 9 years old What size tire and rims you have on the front and back?? And what model holeshots on there?.. I love the looks of the flat treaded fronts vs the crowned ones..

[polodinks]

thanks guys the fronts are stock wheels and they are 21x7x10's and the rears are itp's and they are 20x10x9's

i dont know what model hole shots they are but it just says itp hole shots front and back......

now the only thing i need for my bike is a new rear tire..... someone slashed both rear tires on my bike 1 was fixable and the other was not..... the one with the plug in it is finally shot now and im looking for either a pair of tires cheap or just 1 hole shot.... thanks again guys

what did you do to the rims to make them shine that good i trade for a 2001 400ex and it looks as bad as yours did and now am trying to bring it back to live like you did but yea hell of a job on that i hope mine cames out that good for me thanks jeff

[polodinks]

the back wheels are aftermarket itp's and they was filthy but a nice good 2 coats of mothers shined them up very nice..... once i get my new tires on im gonna give them 1 more coat of mothers......the fronts are stock oem wheels if you was asking about those just soap and water lol......

lots of cleaning dude you're best bet is take off fairings and putting alot of purple power on everything and let it sit for about 2 minutes then scrub the hell out of it and then repeat 1 more time, then flip it on its back bumper and clean the whole undercarriage of it.... well atleast thats what i did post up pics man show us how it came out
