Great job and attention to detail. It's good for the soul to always keep a project going. Especially when you can slow down and enjoy it!

Default Amost there...

I realized I hadn't really posted any "overall" pics... as it turns out, the seals did not come in yesterday, but are suppose to be here today, so we got to finish the plastics last night.. and although we are jumping the gun a bit, since the center pieces are gonna have to come back off to get the motor in, my 15yr old wanted to see what things were gonna look like so I indulgded and put almost all of the plastic on for him

The body covers and tank covers are new since it didn't come with bike when we bought it...

Before




Where it is currently

Default All finished and running :)

Thought I might post a few of the finished and running project... although its actually been complete about 2 weeks now, just hadn't gotten around to take some completed photos... still need to order the decals and a plastic piece it was missing on the left side of the quad, but other than that, runs like a champ and doesn't look to shabby.

I must say, the night we finished it up, after we had everything hooked up, we hit the starter button thinking it would take a little "coaxing" to get it started... nuh uh.. gotta love the honda motor... prolly didn't turn over 3 times before it fired up!!
