His 12th Birthday was 10-6 so we got him suspension and we are rebuilding his blaster so he can race in the Youth class at the Quad MX series. Here are the pics as we go:

i dont know much about the rules and what kind of modifications can be done but what are you running engine wise? stock bore or like a 240 kit?
Well, I was going to wait and take pics in the sun tomorrow but Shaun insisted on tonight. So here is the finished product: 8)

:Clap.gif :Clap.gif :Clap.gif :Clap.gif :Clap.gif :Clap.gif Respect doesn't even come close, Kids here is someone that y'all should look up to... He has worked for everything he has, it has not been given to him. My hats off to you....
Let me make this clear. Shaun doesn't get things regularly handed to him. He has had his quad stock for over a year. He saved his allowance to buy his silencer and his grab bar last year. Suspension is just beyond what a 11-12 year old can save for with a small allowance. Also, anyone that knows us, knows full well that if he doesn't do well in school or doesn't behave at home, he doesn't ride. Period. He missed more than one points race at Sandmountain and lost 1st place in the championship because he couldn't ride due to misbehavior and attitude.
A mom and dad with discipline with a child always has my respect.
IT turned out Great! I Feel some Mean Pit quad Racing Comming Real soon!!!
That is a very nice lookin blaster. 8) I bet all the new susspension will help out great. :ThumbsUp.gif ;)
