Hey yall, this is my small "kinda" build that I am starting. My quad has been giving me fits lately so I said screw it I'll revamp it a bit. Plan is to go to a duner set up, back to the factory 87 plastic, extended swing arm, super lights, new exhaust, 41mm carb, rtc air shrouds, esr goodies, and more chrome. Atleast that's the plan. I am hoping to have this done by spring , because we're putting our house on the market., and I will not want it torn apart.
After pulling my gas tank I found out my head stay is cracked.

Good bye old buddy you served me well.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/fx5dvb.jpg)
Holy smokes I have alot of polishing to do
(http://i63.tinypic.com/i73e2x.jpg)
This is the kind of a idea what I'll be shooting for. Except I am getting a blue hood from Broken1 and different rear plastic(hopefully)
(http://i63.tinypic.com/5b9ro3.jpg)
Here's where I finished for today
(http://i65.tinypic.com/ju7248.jpg)
I start back up on school here in a few weeks, so progress will be slow. I am hoping to have most of my plastic polished and restored before then. Ill be ordering a new exhaust in two weeks, and if my tires and wheels sell on Craigslist, I will order the +4 swing arm.
Hope you guys enjoy
-
Keep the updates rolling
-
I will. I got alot of crap to do around the house this week. I'm hoping to start on the plastic Friday and this weekend. Ill have updates very soon
-
No real update today. I was supposed to be working on cleaning garage cause I gotta hang dry wall. I got distracted and messed around with my tin shed fried oem rears. After pulling the R sticker and seeing it so pristine under it. I actually may be able to salvage these. Or just say F it and buy brand new Fullbore plastic, which is possible. Hmmmm

This makes me think if you clean up a set of fenders. If you put a clear vinyl wrap over them. They should stay looking good. Maybe have to replace the wrap ever once and a while
-
Small update for those who may be interested in this project.
Took off my oem decals today with the help from a hairdryer. Thanks Kevin for the tip.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/8wy6ht.jpg)
Also cleaned my tank to prepare for polishing
(http://i67.tinypic.com/14dnh1w.jpg)
Hopefully I'll get to start restoring my plastic this weekend. Other goals are going to be ordering some gas caps and other billet parts before cascade officially closes. Order some RTC shrouds and sweet talk my wife into letting me order a extended swing arm. Stay tuned there will be more updates to come.
-
So are you running the blue tank with red hood
-
Hope not. Picking up a blue hood from Kevin Friday.
-
I think I've used the wife's hair dryer more than she has for stuff like this lol keep the updates rolling
-
More dang plastic. I seriously have way more than I should. They just need a good cleaning.
(http://i67.tinypic.com/amfnv5.jpg)
-
Kevin was nice to you
-
Yah he was. I would have talked to him alot longer but my wife was freaking out, how we needed to get going. I sold my sand tires yesterday, and I am now trying to figure out what I want to order next. Leaning towards a +4 swing arm.
-
Quick update. Small as it is.. cascade gas cap & reservoir cap came in. Tomorrow I'll have a huge (in my mind) update on parts I'll be picking up. It'll get it half done..
(http://i63.tinypic.com/delc1e.jpg)
Had to hurry and order before inventory ran out. Top dog shipping was one day shipping, super fast
-
Bought someone out of R parts today.

-
Why yes I did. I'm dying to install all this stuff. I can't yet cause dad thought he had to cram his 400ex in my garage.
I now have your old tires btw lol

Kind of a idea what I'll end up with.
(http://i67.tinypic.com/r1fr49.jpg)
She's rough I know. But I do plan on polishing her up. I will be tearing it down to the bare frame one day, then I'll go all out.
More updates to come

The west coast summer ride. it's official it's a bare frame wooohooo.
Going to have my powder guy blast the frame, and I'll have a pumashine gussets welded in.

Nice start. I can see you still making the ride
-
I ripped my R completely apart including the entire engine and had it together in a week. You just gotta want it son! Lol
-
Hope to get this done by spring. My frame has issues though so that'll take time. Quick update, my project 250r 86 graphics came in. These things are pretty legit I'm surprised!!
(http://i64.tinypic.com/e5hg9c.jpg)
Still waiting on my RTC shrouds. I'll have more updates when I am on Christmas break.
-
Looking good.nice stockpile of parts..

What are the issues with the frame
-
Nothing to serous. It's rusty.

(http://i67.tinypic.com/t8nbk1.jpg)

(http://i66.tinypic.com/316qmvq.jpg)

(http://i63.tinypic.com/do0xol.jpg)
Thanks guys
-
Christmas goodies. The Walsh pegs are incredible..
(http://i64.tinypic.com/21j3xqd.jpg)
Dropping frame off this week to get blasted and Dad offered to pay to get a gusset kit welded in. So stayed tuned.. Woooo.
-
nice keep postin pics.
-
Thanks Douglas. Trying to locate a sand blasting company close to me is a pain in the rear.
-
You can always use aircraft paint stopper to Darren. Then get it done yourself. I was lucky my friend had a sandblasting pot. So I did mine myself.
-
I thought about that Gene but was told its very messy. I think I figured it out though. The frame will go to lakeside, OR for blasting, then Dad is going to take it to Winchester Bay OCP to have gussets welded in, and seat posts repaired. Then its going to come up here and I am going to get everything powdered. Currently looking for a good powder coater close by. This quad should be ready to run by spring break.
-
you need to grab up that Carbon fiber nose piece that is for sale.
-
Ohhhhhh my Four Werx Carbon parts came in today.
TI pivot bolt and nut & carbon chain guard.
(http://i68.tinypic.com/b803nc.jpg)
All my parts on the way to the coaters down south coast.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/hrdmrt.jpg)
Sent parts out for chrome that'll be a few weeks till I get it back. Won't be any updates for awhile
-
Was debating if I should even bother updating, but here is some updates regardless.
Frame and parts back. Tried to match blue to my oem hood best I could. This is what we came up with. Did not want red frame again.
(http://i64.tinypic.com/kb6czn.jpg)
This rebuilt led silencer is going to look great.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/rbh120.jpg)
Chrome all came back months ago
(http://i65.tinypic.com/15s3fvo.jpg)
Traded for some flex bars
(http://i65.tinypic.com/r280lt.jpg)
Scored some free tires
(http://i64.tinypic.com/11jt47k.jpg)
89 oem decals for swing arm
(http://i63.tinypic.com/1eo3dd.jpg)
I think that's it for now.. Still need a ton of parts to be able to fully finish.
-
Oh also got a Chinese radiator with that eBay sale awhile back
(http://i67.tinypic.com/289al9u.jpg)
-
Looking good
-
where did you get the chrome work done ?
-
I like it. My next build with begin with a blue frame as well.
-
So I used a guy who I thought was a chromer. Turns out he is just a middle man, and sends out anyone's parts to all over, even to mexico chrome shops. I actually feel kind of lucky I got all my little nuts and bolts back. Here's a pic of the oem shifter where they didn't chrome it all the way. Where that round piece is that holds the rubber on is bare. There's also various other imperfections in all my parts.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/o9mvdc.jpg)
I can already tell my parts will rust really quick. I'm still happy , but I won't go through him again.
-
Coming together nicely.the blue looks sweet....
-
keep up the pics and the blue does look nice.
-
Appreciate it guys. I put all the plastic and such on and its pretty close match. I got to get a new chain slider and I can mount the whole rear end. Then I need to get a complete stem bearing kit and mount the front end. It'll be a roller fairly quickly!
-
Any updates
-
Not really. I got the motor mounted in frame and bumper on. Ordering a HRE stem and bearing kit Friday. That's really about it.
-
I've been busy with other crap haven't been able to work on this quad. I did get front end on. My buddy came over and helped me get stem bearing in.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/6xyqol.jpg)
Then mocking crap up, this issue came up. I'm hoping this is just because there is no tie rods on yet and just needs adjusting?
(http://i68.tinypic.com/9i718k.jpg)
Still waiting on stem. Ordered four weeks ago, was told I'd take two. Said it was done a week ago still haven't heard anything this week.. Hmmm
-
It doesn't go that far when it is together
-
Ok phew that's what I figured lol.
-
Darren it is great to see it coming together! Looks really good!
-
Finally got my stem woooooo!!! Last piece to the front end puzzle. Oh how I'm dying to go out and mount it. Maybe I can spare a hour..
(http://i68.tinypic.com/sn2wsh.jpg)
-
