Yeah Jaime I did think about doing a blue frame, also thinking hard about red frame and gold arms/swinger. Im having a hard time deciding colors on this build, and having a harder time getting past my last 450r. This had gold arms and swinger.

Love the old school look of that 450. Cale Downen raced that kandk one in 08. I have 2 pics of it saved on my computa.

Etccb, thank you and I remember that bike, thats what drew me to these graphics. Jaime I rebuilt/built this one, below is what it looked like shortly after I got it. Ditched the floats and bought a set of Axis Ti's off Heather Byrds old bike. Kept the JB/Pep rear. This was the smoothest/best setup Ive ever ran.

Ok, it just looked real close to there actual race bikes. K and K's that is.

I wish it was, it was actually an A class quad I picked up cheap, the guy kept his plastic and tires/wheels. It was a 1 owner race bike from day one, so it definitely had a hard life, but the motor and shocks were fresh.

Still havent picked out colors, everything is in a pile ready for powder. Bought a Rekluse clutch and new brake lines, cam came in,other than that, nothing new to update.

Update, got my lines today, went with Asr Speedlinez front and rear, came with all hardware. True dual lines up front. Talked to Andy at Maul Tech, sent the Elkas to him today for service and seals. Also getting the updated new style hi/lo comp knobs that are on the stage 5's. Also ordered the Elka front shock gaurds and one of his newest style graphics kits by Dfr. Cant wait to get it all back, I will have pics when I get the shock back. Cant say enough about Andy, we played phone tag for a couple days due to my crazy work schedule, great guy to talk with once again, always a pleasure and you will always learn something talking to him. For those that dont know, he is truely a 250r guy!

Glad to hear everything is going well, Eric. I, also, am interested in how you like the handlebars and if they really help as much as they claim.

Im interested as well, Ive never really felt the need for them but I got a great deal. IMO a steering stabilizer and good grips is usually enough. I always use Spider As3's (I think its as3) with great results. Im still undecided on the stabilizer, there are alot of great choices out there. I will probly wait and see what pops up. The Ccp's look nice, and great reviews as well, however, Im curious to try the stick style that Andy offers. Ive used Precision and all brands of sticks before, and seem to prefer sticks, they are cheap and rebuildable.

If you don't feel a need for them, then sell them to me for a great deal! LOL

LOL, you will be first in line!. Well I think the decision has been made to go with a blue frame, just not sure on the swinger and arms. Atleast the lowers will be blue.

Parts at powder, shocks at Maul Tech today, Rekluse tomorrow, finally some light at the end of the tunnel.

jamieg45 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 03, 2014, 09:44:47 PM »

So where is the pics of the parts powdered then man.

05450r · « **Reply #59 on:** February 03, 2014, 09:51:50 PM »

Hoping in 2 weeks parts will be back from powder. Still need to decide on grab bar, bumper and what intake setup I want to run. Need to order bushing kit for my arms,new Hiper rings and get my head done, after that I should have everything........... ...............But theres always something else!
