Looks super clean! Great job

[AtvKid4Eva]

Thanks man!

[400ex28]

looks good! now time for a rear setup.

[400eXz]

looks damn good!

[AtvKid4Eva]

yeah the rear is coming eventually. Cant decide if i want to run a DC-6 link with an Axis Shock or if i want to get a JB swinger..

[01boneless]

looks awsome man! whats done to the motor?

[Balaz_73*00]

DC-6 is a nice upgrade with the 06 swinger for an 05. I did that a a couple yrs ago.

[AtvKid4Eva]

Motor just has an HRC cam with the full Rossier. Runs great and has plenty of power.

I will probably end up going with a JB rear setup. I once told myself i would never again buy an LSR product due to their horrible customer service ive had with their axles. So id rather give JB my money and have a great setup.

[Kovatch]

Quad looks good. Are we going to see that at any of the CRA races?

Jodi's (JB) products are pretty solid. Good customer service and quite close to you. If you don't want to go JB, look into Six5 Design. Both are "local" to us as you are in Twins... and I'm north on the Lake.

Not sure if Six5's link works in a stock swinger, if you wanted a link before you get the swinger. Check Six5 out on Facebook.

Support the local guys =)

[AtvKid4Eva]

Yep ive talked to jake (six5) and he does make some very nice products. I was thinking about working with him on a link for my stock swinger, but just havent gotten around to it yet. Im pretty booked with work so im not sure how much riding will actually get done this summer.

[fandl450r]

The big cans look nice :)

[AtvKid4Eva]

haha yeah..i fell in love with yours the very first time i saw them on here..;)

[hrc450er]

Texeira tech and derisi both make a long travel linkage that works with the 06 swinger. Both are really good

[2001400exrida]

Clean looking quad!

[AtvKid4Eva]

Thanks Guys...Now go vote for it for June Quad of the Month!

Well im still in the build process, so i figured id just add to this thread.

I swapped out the FWC hood for a white Quadtech:

Then i swapped to an 08+ tank with white cover:

I installed a 06+ swingarm with DC-6 Link w/ a Custom Axis rear shock:

Then i decided i wanted to PC the frame and subframe so i went Texture black on the frame and Gloss white on the Subframe also gusseted the frame:

I also ordered some RATH Monster Peg nerfs and have a GT Thunder poly skid that i going on this week. Ill update with more pics then!

[01boneless]

wanna see them nerfs and pegs???:D

[AtvKid4Eva]

The raths aren't here yet since I wanted them flat black. The X factor nerfs and pegs in the pics r for sale tho! :D

[AtvKid4Eva]

GTT Poly Skid Installed:

[Stickman400]

Yep, that's the way it mounts, looks good. I didn't use that mount that's the 2nd one down from the bumper, it wouldn't fit around my frame rail and I don't really see the need for it. Have you thought about drilling the oil drain holes?

[AtvKid4Eva]

Yeah i plan on drilling holes soon

[AtvKid4Eva]

Rath Pro Pegs installed. Fit great and look beefy! I will probably purchase some heel guards from them in the future if i feel i need them.
