I tore the quad apart this winter and gave it some new color. Right now it is about 95% done, here is a little teaser :D

Haha thanks! I have wanted to do my frame in this color ever since I saw it on a members quad here a long time ago. It should go great with silver plastic

Are you 100% done???? the reason i ask is that you missed the nuts and bolts on the front engine mounts....

Yep its completely done...Figured I could save weight by not putting random bolts in. I took off about a pound of bolts! :devil:

looks very nice Brandon.
you finally got some time to work on yours instead of your brothers ? I think he owes you a little "Wrench time" ,Haha !
It will look great with the silver plastics.
Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Looking forward to seeing it finished. I'll be happy if he doesn't hurt me for setting his quad on fire :D

Thanks! It should be done sometime this week if I can ever get away from the research paper I'm supposed to be working on right now :p

Oh and Ron, I think this would be more suitable ;)

Hahaha !
Maybe you should start him off real slowwwww....

funny thing is when mine actually was on fire at black river falls you kind of whispered it to me :blah:

Ron - I like that idea! If it doesn't have any moving parts or an engine I won't have to do that much work on it ;)

Mike, yeah... I only told you because it was parked next to mine and I didn't want the fire from yours to blow mine up too

Here is another picture to show how much is done. All I really need to do is put the throtle back on, nerf bars, and plastic. This is a nice site after seeing it in pieces for 3 months!

wow that color is awesome.

PS- that's a tough looking e series mount and a nice spacer. wonder where that came from? :confused:

Ron- I will accept any of the above, as long as it has your patented blinky lights installed.

You'd probably win, considering I haven't ridden Brandon's four wheeler in ages...but hey, I'll take you on! haha. Maybe I'll do good now that it looks cool :p

Looks very cool Brandon. Great job.

I think painting the handlebars the same as the frame might be a nice touch.

i also think matching hubs would help everything flow nicely.

looks good, but a r6 tail light would make it all flow together, im not a big fan of the old tail lights

that looks really good man good job. i think an AC stadium bumper, or any bumper for that matter on that would look great

Thanks guys, I like the idea of painting the handlebars. Even if I painted them black I think they would look good. I don't want to paint the hubs because I have a feeling they would not hold up well. I agree that the r6 tailight would be a nice touch, but right now I am pretty much broke until I start working again...same goes with the bumper :o
