I mean, when she turns 18 of course.

I would get full skid plates, THEN suspension

[Young Gun]

Most importantly, dont forget a good sports bra

Why?  Probably 85% of her competition is guys... that would be to her advantage. 

[Kelli415]

You really need suspension to be "fast" but then again, you need to know how crappy your real suspension is before you run out and spend alot of money on sick suspension. If you jump right onto awesome suspension, you might not ever learn the basics of what to do when the bike starts to bicycle. Then once you know how to handle with crap suspension, you then take that and move onto good suspension.

Here is what I would do, in order.

Tether Killswitch
Wheels and tires that wont bend and hook up well
Nerf bars
Suspension reworked/resprung
Flexx bars

A pretty bike wont win a race. A well setup bike will.

Thats pretty much all you need to know...
Screw the powdercoat job, your going to be wasting money and alllllot of time, think about taking every single part off your quad and then putting it back together again, plus shipping if it isnt local.

The number 1 thing you need to do is just practice, practice, practice...something i wish i could do more often

Ryan
Michael could do it at sheridan tech
prob. thats' what kenny said.
&& Earl thinks' taking my quad apart
&& putting it back together would
be good for me.

I was looking at some
but do you know the best website to
get them from?

[gery350]

No idea, but about your frame, if it aint broken, dont fix it. I'm sure from xc racing, alot of stress is put on your frame, I would wait until your frame recieves damage before painting it.

[Kelli415]

I get I shouldnt powder coat
my frame yet
but I dont want to mod everything
then have to take it off later down the road
when I could do it now..
you know?

thank you.

Yea you dont want to get exhaust since FTR's sound limit is 96db...But a stabilizer, new tires, and maybe some new handlebars would keep you set for a while. Then when you have the extra dough get your suspension rebuilt by GTT and it will help you alot. Are you coming to the race with me sat?

EDIT: I like my AC nerf bars, but they are kind of a pain to get on.

[KD 428]

And Id go with Pro Armor skids.

Those are the only places I order from online...

[Young Gun]

So whats your point?  I'm suddenly illiterate because I don't have one?  I HAD a quad, and now I have my life sunk into my damn truck.  I guarantee that when/if you get your license, you will be doing the same.

[KD 428]

I wont be.

[Kelli415]

I wont be.

haha thats' my kenny(:

ok. but thanks. I looked on
rockymountain for nerf bars'
but i wasnt satisified..

&& yeah is your mom going?
Or will it just be kids?
&& are you staying the night. orr...
what are the plans'.
just text me.

Kelli put the money into making your suspension or motor better and faster instead of making it "pretty" lol

jk brad.

[Andy9933]

www.prm-atv.com has some nice skids.

[Yamaha72]

Definitely hit up the raptor forums, some great info on there...

[klutchbuster400]

Regardless what mod you put on, eventually something will break. Tearing your bike down now for just some cosmetics is pretty pointless. I race Mx, and my quad takes a fair beating. I'm sure Xc beats the heck out of the bike, so I would worry about making sure the bike, and rider is safe, before looking fly

[m0n0x1d3]

I would still do suspension,nerfs/heelguards and some skidplates
I have an outlaw525 irs and the first thing I did was add foxfloat shocks.Then added fastco flexxbars so I have alot less hand fatigue.
Then I added exhuast,intake,bumpers and nerfs.So now i have a pretty nice trailbike that I love ripping the  trails at L-cross.I will eventualy invest in a dampner to lessen even more  armpump,however i just bought a UTV so the wife will be riding the quad more than me.
