how much $ in mods to your quads

[Cain]

OK an ademdum needs to be made to this post/poll.  After admitting to investing several thousands of dollars we need to poll people as to their annual income. I'm just curious to see if people are spending all their money on their quads, or if everyone here makes $100 k and up.

Bring manufacturing back to the US? Surely you jest. Labor is far too expensive here for items with such a small profit margin. What you need to do is bring quality control implements to China, or the new labor emerging market India (They're undercutting the chinesse wage). Then you would fix your problem with getting crappy parts. But I'm guessing you can't speak Cantoneese or Swahili.

Sorry to bring you down, man.

I agree about the whole small profit margin thing with labor being higher in the U.S. but here is what I am praying for.That people will not mind spending 5-10 dollars more on a part they know is of high quality and made by american hands.I also plan on creating parts no other manufacturer yet produces such as the trx 90 electric start kit.To help come up with new ideas I ask you my friends at ATV FLORIDA to make suggestions ,and if I have the equipment needed and know how I will produce it .Also when I get started about 6 months down the road I will ask people at this forum if they have a certain year or make of bike to bring it to my shop and I will make all the differant parts possible to fully dress out their bike in exchange for giving me the ability to use their bike to make the blue prints fixtures and programs needed to manufacture the parts for the rest of the U.S. I hope I will have the support of the locals expecially to get started and I believe you will be happy with the parts I manufacture and spread the word .If you do not think I have a chance in hell of making it work please explain why ,I want this feedback so I can better plan for obsticals or relize I left out a potential problem maybe one thats unresolvable .Please tell me your honest feelings about my plan.And please tell me what you look for most in a product you are about to purchase.

   Thank you ,

Well i've got about $14K+ in my quad and its still has stock front bumber,grab bar,motor,swinger,and oh yea STOCK chain and sprockets and whole bunch of other stuff.  I'd need another $3k to make it 100% done but you can never stop modifying quads. lol
