I got a little more work done on the bike this afternoon. I took the netting out of the DG nerf bars. Then I cleaned them up and redyed the nylon netting using royal blue Rit dye. I think they came out pretty good. I will replace them one day but I just wanted something to do so I tried restoring them.

You cant really tell in some of the pics but the factory rear fenders are faded some, so I just scored a brand new set Maier rear fenders to match the fronts for $165.00. I cant wait to get them so I can put the rear decals on and see how it all looks together.

Also, I should be getting the jug back from CT by friday. Then the bottom end has to go off to the local machine shop and be opened up for the new big sleeve.:D I am getting very excited now.
I need to get a new chain (maybe a yellow anodized one off ebay) along with new sprockets. CT said to run minimum of 14-38 with this motor. I might go 14-36 but im not sure yet. I would still like to get a aluminum airbox and new K&N filter. And I still need to fill and bleed all brakes on the the bike too. I'm slowly but surely getting it back together

I just ordered a Supersprox 14t lightweight front cog and a aluminum Tag 38t rear sprocket along with a new EK O-ring chain. I also picked up a yellow VP fuel jug to hold the pre-mix for this quad. I would still like to get an aluminum airbox and K&N for it, but I haven't found one yet.

I got the jug back and noticed that he didn't got to the full 74mm bore like I was wanting at first. He went 72mm to give me room to freshen it up in the future. That's ok as long as it still runs good. I just spent a little more money on this bike. I found a NIB Dr. Q full system exhaust setup to run on this bike to try to sqeeze all the power I can out of it.
Here is a pic of a Dr.Q pipe installed on a Lt500 just incase you haven't ever seen one before

I'm not really a Hotwheels collector or anything, but when I saw this on eBay I just had to have it.
Attachment 1718111339
it's a 87 Hotwheels of the Suzuki Quadracer. I like it because the year is correct and it just so happened to be the only one I saw with yellow fenders, blue seat, and gold wheels. I think it will look great hanging on my work bench in a protective case. What do u think?
