Well, I havent been on in a while. I kinda put the quad away during football season but I got her running the other day only to blow it up on my first joyride.. So my plans have kind of shifted from just fixin it up a little at a time to doing a frame up. It will probably be a little slower build then others do to low funds but I'll see what I can do. Stay tuned.

Looks ike a lot of fun to me! I think building the quads and working on them is almost as fun as riding them but not near as fun as beating other people in a race with it.

Looks good!

I like building almost as much as riding as well. That's why I have 250r's.

take your time looking for cracks around suspension components and lower frame rails around motor mounts these frames are getting very old.

i blasted my first stock frame and found like 10 cracks.

Yeah this one has a crack on the left side of the stem post and it seems to be tweaked a little bit i'm not sure if theres much i can do about that. One crack where the subframe meets the frame and the right motor mount has some ugly welds from the previous owner that im gonna clean up. I'd say its in pretty good shape and can be easily fixed up.

good deal, remember to stop drill the cracks or they will just return or grow when you heat it up
