what you guys think so far ?

[3or4HONDA]

your pastics look awesome!

[liek]

thnx bro !

[Motoman723]

dang thats crazy!!!!! in a good way though...what do you use your quad for?

[liek]

mostly just having fun cruising around ! here in aruba it's street legal

[liek]

new gear

[Motoman723]

oh dang!!! had no idea you were in aruba! wish we had street legal quads...that'd be a blast!!!

[99exrider]

Did the quad come with missing plastic? It sounds like you got a pretty damn good deal on it.

I noticed you mentioned measuring for the "new brackets". were you doing a conversion of putting the 05+ plastic on a 99-04? If so, congrats, I REALLY want to do that. :p

[liek]

yup it's a 2001 frame but i got the 05 plastics

[liek]

it's gonna go to my friends house this week for him to do the frame swap for me! i'll keep you guys posted. And yes quads are used as a form of transportation here in Aruba.

the muck down !

it will wear off extremely quick, i had one just like it on my 250r and the color was almost all gone after 3 rides

[liek]

wel this is my everyday hobby driving machine. like i said before it's street legal here in Aruba but i use it mostly for offroading, mx havinf fun you name it

[Chuck75]

are the flames air brushed or decals? looks great!

[liek]

airbrushed

[Chuck75]

awsome work. you guys got it good there.

[liek]

wel the only thing that suck is that you gotta import all the aftermarket parts from the states ! and it will cost me twice the money you guys pay
