My frankenstein quad will be alive soon!
For those of you that dont know what it is, its my 250R/350x hybrid....
I found a frame and its in the process of being fixed up and then will be powdercoated...(either white or gloss black)
so far i've pickedup for the quad:
+1 gibson steering stem w/ 1 1/8 bar mounts(silver vein)
Pro Taper Fat bars(black)
White Maier plastic (F/R and tank cover)
N-style alltrac2 graphics and seat cover (blue/white/silver/black)
+2 Houser A-arms (chrome uppers/black lowers)
Houser 88 style swingarm(black)
TC racing exhaust
i cant wait to put this thing back together! once this is back together...anyone that comes up and needs a quad to ride will be able to beat on the 400ex

Re: My frankenstein quad will be alive soon!
You have a nice pile of parts waiting there guy. Although white frame is GANGSTA - I would suggest you go with a different frame color. My 929 frame got Sooooooo dirty so fast - it sucked. Then it takes an hour to clean it and 5 mins to get it dirty again. Gloss black is where it's at IMO - Especially with chrome A-arms. Hells yeah.
I'm tryin to get up there for 4th of July weekend - I might take you up on that 400ex for a day or just bring the dirt bike. Either way I'll want to ride. :YEAH
Re: My frankenstein quad will be alive soon!
of course it will be worth the drive...gonna try and get my buddies band to jam at the house too.....i'll have the burgers and dogs on the grill, places to crash if need be...just gotta bring your own beverage and make sure the host is never without something cold and frosty in his hand:YEAH
Re: My frankenstein quad will be alive soon!
You guys have a pitbike track yet or what? With like jumps and chit???
I hauled 6 or 700 lbs of dirt into our back yard yesterday for a landing and to build-up the berms. Should be sweet in another weekend or 2.

White is pimp but sux to clean. Red is beat - doesn't match. Blue would be sweet with those graphics. Gloss black always looks good.
You should get blue - coated steel braided brake lines
I usually have Galfer or HEL make mine.
