cheetah
07-31-2003, 04:55 AM
Well if Honda doesn't release a new quad that is better than the YFZ, I might look into an R.:cool: I've been dying to get an R and fix it up to my liking. If that falls through then I'll probably just get some white fullbore and powdercoat. Possibly some axles and a-arms too. But I'll still have a friggin stock engine.:cuss:

-black pced frame
-suspension revalved.
-swing arm pced either black or hammertone grey
-pro circuit graphics

but ill prolly have a brand new yzf or crf250 by then and just put tag t2's and a slip on fmf exhaust:devil:

user101
07-31-2003, 07:15 AM
get my shocks rebuilt and rezzies added to the fronts. maybe an axle, all the usual stuff (ex. bearings, brake pads, chain and sprockets) check my frame for cracks and might get it powdrcoated, lrd exhaust for sure, and might get some hipers if i can get a good deal.

i couldnt wait till winter to order the plastic and graphics kit so im gonna order it next week.

YamaWarr0121
07-31-2003, 07:38 AM
shocks are going to go to TCS or quadshop for SSD/Zero pReload revalving, respringing..subframe pc, carbon fiber stuff :eek2: tag t-2 bars and clamps, wave brake rotors, and maybe some other fun stuff

should be running awesoem for when i turn 16:D

hondafox440
07-31-2003, 07:54 AM
I think I am going to completely tear down the 125 and blueprint the cases, and maybe do a fork/shock rebuild. Just did the top end last night, so thats fine.

As for the 440, who knows. Maybe suspension.

MOFO

Well, I agree with Taco... basically drink beer and take my 400ex down to nothin. Powdercoat frame and parts, get me some suspension and maybe play with the motor. :D

anywhereEx
07-31-2003, 10:33 AM

Chances are tear stuff up and have a few quads/bikes apart in the shop.

Chanman420q
07-31-2003, 11:43 AM
a-arms axle, rear shock, and get some hypers....... thats about it...... unless i come across more money;)

TheRedRebel17
07-31-2003, 11:47 AM
get rid of the quad and get a cr/lx/yz 125, and clean it up, and maybe something like a pipe and silencer, graphics, bars, piston, and some other stuff if it doesnt have it on it...if it does,and teh compression is fine. then i might do a fork/shock rebuild:ermm:

Rip_Tear
07-31-2003, 12:08 PM
Things that I most likely will do (almost for sure! :D)
1. Gusset the frame
2. Tear it right down
3. Skid Plates (swingarm probaly sooner then winter) Protect swingarm not sure about the body...
4. A pipe....(who knows at this point!)
5. Grease and oil everything (after I clean it!)

Things I would like to do:
1. Powder coat the frame and various parts
2. Get the rear shock rebuilt (not sure who by, but Pappy's suspension thread got me thinking about this one!)
3. Front Piggy Back Elka's
4. New plastics and Graphics
5. New tires and rims (Razr's, not sure what rims...)
6. New bumper (AC) and Bars (not sure)

Its going to be hard to do all this from college, LMAO! There's likely more, but I won't get too out of hand, I have no ATV money! :(

nacs400ex
07-31-2003, 01:05 PM
Sell the 400ex, MOD OUT THE R :D, and start building a crf450 quad, or yzf426.

Rip_Tear, I am gunna have my Elkas on the R until I have enough money for some LT's, If you want some Elkas I will have some for sale before spring time. :)

nacs400ex
07-31-2003, 01:07 PM

CBW
07-31-2003, 01:40 PM

Or something like that........:huh

Pvt. Maggot

toby400ex
08-01-2003, 08:36 PM
Try to just afford replacement parts for the quad, maybe get the frame all done up, that is if i dont end up with huge truck payments, expensive insurance, and bad gas mileage. This winter doesnt sound fun so far, and its like 4 months away.:o

toby400ex
10-02-2003, 07:00 PM
WELL.......right now it looks like im in good fortune. Since i now have a good buddy that will powdercoat ma frame purdy colors for cheap. New bumpers and tires on the way. Im not sure it is a rebuild but it wont look as crappy when it is done.:blah:

Ex_Rider43
10-02-2003, 07:28 PM
rebuilding it as a 425 in february or march but justin's +2 Burguards and a lonestar axle ( used if I can find one ) will be in just in time for christmas.

since we got a rainy, ugly and whatever it was summer.. I will be riding my 400 in the trails this winter, yes with the big pro wegdes at -30 outside.

dirtmomma
10-03-2003, 07:50 AM
Well I've started on a little "project" w/ my 300.....we're "freshening" it up a little w/ a new piston,rings,ect. I've got new rear tires & rims for it, got some new front grooved radials on some offset rims, I sanded all my plastics down smooth(can't afford new ones:( ) and am clear coating them, they actually turned out nice:eek: , putting some new "graphics" on, & am thinking about changing my nerf nets, they are rivited on so it could be a pain though!! I think the 300 is gonna look good once it's all done & I'm SURE it'll run MUCH better!!:devil: :devil:

As for the 600 flattracker it's on hold until we find someone to copy a 250r frame in aluminum for my bro in law so we can have the old frame, may have a lead on someone just have to get ahold of them. But we have purchased, Aarms,shocks,motor w/ pipe,carbs, we have tires/wheels & a swingarm. Our next purchase needs to be hubs & spindles, brakes,levers, ect. then we will get into the plastic,seat, ect.

I'll have to post some pics of the 300 when it's all back together & done I thinkit's gonna look really nice:D I hope anyway LOL

red frame
orange plastic
orange a-arms subby swing arm

same for the 50 with a 118 kit and new suspension...


yes orange and red at the team colors i have to run at 50 races... so i'll just make my quad look the same... theres a sweet 250r like this in the one atv mag and it looks good... plus noone else has it that i know of...


i also need clutches, tie rod ends, shock rebuilt, front brake pads... and a few other lil things...

Im gunna leave my dale as it is and maybe a red houser swingarm.

The 250x has a fresh curtis Sparks engine so i dont need anything there.

I will:
PC the frame Blue
PC a-arms black
PC swingarm black
Polish side cases
Quadtech seat cover
New rear plastics(white maier..400ex)
Hiper Wheels..blue rings(ordered)
RAZR mx tires(ordered)
Pro Design Kill Switch..blue(ordered)
Renthal Sprockets(ordered)
Parts Unlimited Chain(ordered)
Blue k&k numberplate backgrounds
k&k throttle cover, and master cylinder cover
Elka 400ex shocks

I think thats about it
It wont be too expensive after i sell my old crap that i dont need.

I would reccomend the cutis sparks 318cc kit to anyone with a 250x..if you have about $2,000 to spend.

Im gonna finally finish my R. I started out with a bare frame. I live in louisiana so there are plenty days in the winter where its warm enough to ride. I dont exactly have to worry about snow. If everything goes as planned, it will be done in november sometime.

you guys are depressing.

I know working on the bike is fun and putting on new shiny parts is also alot of fun if you have the money.

I also know that alot of you guys don't get any snow just alot of mud.

But for all of you that are lucky enough to get snow and you park
the bike for the winter let me tell you, you don't know what you missing riding on the trail that are like 12ft whide and there are no bumps. just super soft trails.

buying a trx450r :macho And depending on money I will get some a-arms, shocks (im thinking tcs zero preload, or elka) wider axle of some sort, and of course some new beadlocks and tires right when i get it. Oh yeah i should probably get exhaust and what not. I dont want to get beat much at the dunes. I cant wait. I have the 5th on in the valley. :eek:

I'm getting a 450r. I bought my 250r last winter and put some cash into it with a rebuild, new plastics, tires & rims, and some other stuff to get it close to stock in appearance as possible. So the 450r is in order this winter.

What's all this talk about rebuilding?? Don't forget the Hatfield McCoy Trails are open 365 days a year. So instead of laboring over some almost impossible tasks, plan a trip to ride this winter at the Hatfield McCoy Trails!!

Sell the Raptor, tear down the LT again to decide whether to get the frame checked and gusseted... again! Or spend $1200 for an OEM frame, and get it gusseted and powder coated. Any suggestions? Other than buy a Honda, I mean. I thought of selling the LT also, and getting the YFZ. But I have so much money tied up in the LT, and really like it. I replaced everything last spring with mostly aftermarket products, I may put an aftermarket igniton on it this winter, as the stock ignition is a little weak.
