2strokeshees Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 Took us a night to strip it down. Frame is already gotten blasted and now in powder coating. Since she said she wanted to choose everything that had to be done with the quad I agreed on doing the project to see what kind of machine she had in mind. I think you guys will be surprised. For the powder coat she went with a tropical teal with a bit of flake in it. Now the frame is getting done we cant figure out what color plastics to go with. White or Black. 3 colors in the quad when its finished. Teal, black, and chrome. She wanted to know what you guys thought about plastic color. O and I will be posting pictures of the build, if everything goes to plan its going to be a pretty cool looking bike. Let us know what you guys think.. Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 Def white. I think white and teal would be good for a girl's bike. How about the motor?? You gonna sit her on a jet engine or keep it simple? Quote
06specialedition Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 White sounds good to me. keep us posted Quote
dirtydownunder Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 oooooh bike build. gotchya. Quote
2strokeshees Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Posted January 23, 2012 Alright well white it is. She saw the maier white carbon fiber and said that was it. For the motor i dont want to go extreme. She likes the power it has now and doesnt need much more. I was going to get new pipes, i did tors eliminator already, cool head, re-build top end, and some reeds. I already went through the trans and fixed it and crank had no play or wobble in it so i think i will leave that. What do you guys think for motor? Any thoughts. Quote
Strm Trpr Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 How does she ride it? Does she drag race in the dunes, ride trails, race moto-x? Quote
2strokeshees Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 How does she ride it? Does she drag race in the dunes, ride trails, race moto-x? Going to be a dune quad. Maybe a couple drags but nothing major. Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Go with a light port. If she wants more get it ported more. I heard the HJR dune/ play port is really good. Quote
Strm Trpr Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Call Kevin at HJR 760-815-1316 www.herrjugsracing.com Tell him what mods you have now, what type of riding, skill level of rider and he can determine what porting would compliment the current mods and your lady's riding style. Kevin's turn around time is very reasonable as well. Jeff at FAST is another great engine builder, in fact, any site sponsor should be able to hook you up. Call around and put your feelers out there. If you're in a hurry, make sure and ask the builder what kind oi turn around time is expected, some shops take longer than others. Talk to a couple of builders and see who you feel most comfortable with. Quote
SalM Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 I would definitely go with white, the teal with flakes actually sounds really nice... Quote
