Thats Sweet Rico! What ever happened to the XC quad? Did you ditch your XC buddies or something ;) :p .

great at first i was afraid that you were only gonna do mx, how well will the shocks do in both mx and xc, i would think they would only be good at one kind of racing.:confused:

Well the rear shock will be coming off and I'll be putting my stocker back on which was rebuilt for MX racing,,and the fronts were setup for both MX and XC,,I'll just have to do some adjusting and with the help of Marty@Quadshop..they might need revalving or resprung to accomplish both types of racing...they are setup more for XC than MX..like 35% mx and 65% XC..

I can already tell with the +1 stem and new shocks it's gonna rip thru the woods like a bat outa he11...:eek:

[Sparks425Ex]

Hey Rico Are yor A arms +1 or +2?

I thought I remember you sayign they were +1 but I wasnt totally sure.


When are ya gonna start gettigns oem Action Pics?

Where are the pics of the XC set up? Today is Tomarrow.... I think
:confused:

shweet,, i know im gonna rip throught the woods on my 400:p

[Dave400ex]

Yeah Rico I have the same front shocks as you and they are awesome in the Woods. Let us know how you like the Elka rear compared to the Rebuilt stocker. Also you really think the +1 stem helps that much?

Here's a shot showin off Pappy's PC work..:D

After next week,,I'll have a fancy new Quadshop Racing graphics kit thrown on the side covering the black panels and were the THOR and quadshop stickers are...:eek:

PS..check out the fancy prism PC thanks ta pappy.;)

[Sparks425Ex]

Looking good. I like the MX set up better. XC is not for me. Thanks for the idea for my Elka Stickers. My battery cover is blank. Good Idea. I have no where else to put big stickers like that.

[Tommy 17]

rico the xc looks awesome... KEEP THE LIGHTS!!!!!!!

[Ryan]

Thats awesome Rico.... I bet it will be a real pain in the arse to keep switching setups ;) .

Since you began racing both MX and XC...... Which do you like better? Or if you could only keep one setup, what would that be?

[Knight440]

Looks great!:macho

[Porkchop]

That looks really good :D I like the look with the XC set up alot better. Good job Rico :macho

[TheRedRebel17]

:drool:...nice

[roostin_dale]

I still cant get over how the finishing result came out! I think it turned out great! Exspecially the MX set-up!

[Porkchop]

hey Rico think you can post a picture of the XC set up from the sides?

:)

:square

[RideRed04]

Rico, that XC setup is rockin! Wowhttp://www.smiliegenerator.de/s4/smilies-6728.png

[Dave400ex]

Yeah I'm really liking your XC setup. I wish mine was that nice and had all those parts. Great job....

[born-to-race]

Looks SWEET! But I think my stock 250EX can take it. LOL

What kind of pipe is that?

looks like a powerbong with a shortened bills pipe or some crap:huh

OMG Rico's got front fenders now :eek:

[toby400ex]

WOW, lookin good, someday mine will be somewhat like that, i know those rears are 22's but they look friggin huge.:eek:

[phatswinn]

phew i though u got ride of those lights all togather that would suck, nice quad rico, got any leftover parts you wanna send me? u knwo like the stock front end? jk nice ride though

[CBRSLIDER]

Looks great!:D Who did the gussetting? I have an extra frame that I would like to have gussetted. Just lookin for places to do it. Then probably have Pappy do the pc'in magic. But looks great. Hope to run into you guys this year at one of the GNCC's.

Ray

btw-I second 660bigdaddy's comment about no snow:grr But it was a little more comforting to see the light dusting you had in the later pics. Got about a 1' to 1 1/2' here, so no riding for me.:mad:

[Knight440]

I'll be attending at least 9 GNCC races I hope,,several Local MX races and I was hoping to make the London, KY race but I'll be at a GNCC race.. Maybe RedBud, Lorettas, or possibly Muddy Creek.. I really wanna do a GNC this year..:macho

Thats cool. I'll be at Highpoint, PA on sept 22/23. If there is any GNCC races near my area, maybe i'll show up to one of them. I would like to try to race one before I deciede to start racing either MX or XC.

Maybe i'll cetch up with you at one of the nationals ;)

[jay's 300]

I like alot! :blah

[Dave400ex]

I should be at Red Bud unless it's raining....

[cdalejef]

The graphics kit will be for sale soon! The price will be much less than the other graphic kits that are out there! We will have them for 400EX, 250R, Cannondale and Raptor. There may be others at a later date.

Mud..:eek: What mud??:confused: You assured me the race was on grooved trails with no mud..:huh

[cdalejef]

:devil :devil :devil :blah

[exriderdude]

cool:cool: i like the clear hand guards:macho

[spincr4hire]

lookin' good...;)

[CranMan]

Man that things to purty for H/m now..you'll have to get one of those old beater c-dales to ride up there :D

[Burden7]

Rico, I noticed that you don't have a chain slider on your swingarm. There is a place for it, but you don't have one installed. I would be afraid that during a race the chain would slap up against it and maybe break the chain or cause it to throw the chain. Just wondering if you were going to install one, if you haven't done so already.

If your refering to Charlotte H/S, Bad news weather says scattered showers rest of the week.

I've got a houser chain guide but it will not work with any skid plate that is made...honestly I don't know of any chain guides that work with aftermarket skids..if anyone knows please show me a pic..I'm very much aware of TM designs but i need facts stating it will work not..hey so and so has them dude...:blah

back to the subject,,,I've had my quad for 2.5 years and I just replaced the stock chain and sprockets..they had very little wear and I've never thrown a chain or broke one before..i've also rode for 1 year with no skid and swingarm skid with no problems...proper maint. will work wonders....;) :D
