Click For Full Mod's List
 

This is what she looked like when I bought her...



 Within 1 month of owning the quad it was torn down to this...

      

Let the rebuild begin...

Bare Performance Gusset Kit welded by Jack of XXTuning - www.XXTuning.com

Powder Coating by Northeast Coatings - www.NortheastCoatings.net
 Colors: 
            - Sparkle Granny Smith with a Glitter Clear Coat.
            - Extreme Chrome with a Glitter Clear Coat.
            - Gloss Black.
            - Black Chrome with Clear Coat.


        
      

 Below is the modification to the OMF Air Scoops to fit with the Bare Performance Gusset Kit.
 Burgard Cycle +1 A-Arms installed.  New front shocks to follow.

        
        
    

 Below are some shots of the port and polish job on my head.  Also installed:
 DRZ Valve Springs, Hotcams- Intake & Exhaust, DID Cam Chain, Athena 434 Kit, & DRZ Base Gasket.
 Other mods:  Dyna Programmable CDI, Pro-circuit T-4 Full Exhaust, Pro Design Air Intake.

      
      

 Motor is dropped in...

  

 Finally a rolling quad again...

          
        
        
    


 At this point the cams has been broken in.  Just need a new front sprocket and master link in order to finish breaking in the motor.
 The plastics have been put on to test fit everything.   
 All the wiring for the kill, starter and light switches need to get done.
 Still need front shocks.
 Later down the road a FCR will be added.
 Still deciding on what gripper seat cover.
 Not sure what I am doing about the wheels at this point.

       
       
       
 

Well after 5 months she is pretty much done! 
All the wiring has been done.
'05 Z400 shocks with polished rezzies installed.

Well here she is.......

       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       

 Well everyone thought I wasn't going to ride it once they saw what I was doing with it.  But I
 could not let that happen.  See what happens below after its 1st oil change (after break-in)....

     
   

  She cleans up pretty nicely!

          
          
          
          
          
      
      
  

Things still needed:
  Definitely needs a larger carb!
  Gripper Seat Cover.
  Wheels & Tires??  Black or Silver wheels, hmmm???
