Back on easter sunday i ran my quad off the mountain and messed a few things up; ripped my seat cover, bent my steering stem, broke my bumper and grab bar off, and busted my plastics all to pieces. So far i've managed to get a set of used plastics, a new seat and cover, and a houser steering stem.

I know my colors don't match up perfect but it'll get me by for right now. What do y'all think?

I really like their Desert II bumper. That would be my choice if I was in the market for a new one.

I've always liked the Yellow too...
Typically with red hubs and seat cover...

But yours looks very good with the black.
Very nice!



One suggestion I have for you is to try one thing...

Lift your front and take your wheels off...
Swap sides with them... as to swap the tread direction of the GNCC fronts to backwards looking....


The GNCC fronts were my first experience with aftermarket front tires with angled side knobs....

And it's been an experience to put it lightly.

They perform differently depending on direction.
Turn different, track different in ruts, and brake different.

But most of all is how they turn different.

Try it and let me know what you think.

i really like the summit, but then again i like stingers on jeeps. it just looks like it'll protect me from the next tree that jumps out in front of me:p

How do you like the seat cover? How does it fasten-do you remove the original seat cover and have to staple the replacement cover in place?

BTW, your quad looks good!

Nice work on the plastics.

Show us what you did sometime.
We might need to do the same work someday.

i love the seat cover, you won't slide back like you will on a stock cover. you take the old cover off and staple this one on with an Arrow t-50 electric staple gun. you have to follow the directions to a T or you'll end up with wrinkles everywhere.
