Thanks to C&D for hookin' me up with all the new parts. Just waiting for the new Razr's to get here and a couple of our new site stickers and I'm done with it:D

BTW, Honda gets a D- for the front headlight/switchgear setup. What a pain in the ***** getting the key switch out and the headlights.

There were in a packing slip on one of the boxes. The best one is the silver, mirrored one on the front nose.

Guy,
It's good to see you making that ugly ducking a bit more presentable. Do those beginner quads come with a parental tether cord?:rolleyes:

they usually just come with a warning not to ride them if you are drunk high or under 16:huh. I;ve decided i wont buy new plastics until i buy some shocks, rear hipers and a steering damper, and even then i will wait until i rip atleast 2 fenders off to buy some shiny new plastic.:D

Once a year they have a "family only" sale where brand new Delta and Porter-Cable is deeply discounted. I bought those air compressors brand new for $500/each. They're 2-stage, 80 gallon compressors that retail for $1500. I got one for me and one for my father-in-law. The catch was we had to drive about 45 minutes to pick them up and now I've got to string a 220 line out to my garage:D

the front fenders would be great for someone planning to race cut.

I was able to remove the headlights and neutral light relatively event free. However, the key switch refused to come easily. I blew a gasket and grabbed a pair of tin snips and cut the plastic around key.

But I just thought of something... this plastic could still be used if someone was race-cutting the fenders and removing the headlight plastic so they could put a hood on!! Thanks for jogging the brain Joe!!

btw.....................you are the first guy to ever remove the front plastic on that EX!
I never even had it off :)
