Wanted to clean up the ol pipes before I rode this year and boy what a job, 1 pipe down 1 to go!
Admited I could spend a lot more time on the first one but I say hell with it, i'm going riding tomarrow and i'll be in muddy ass minnesota. The trails on the federal land just opend on the 1st in our area so i'm ready to ride finally!!!!! waiting months and months and months and months for this. That's alotta months! Well here's some pics of the pipes/pipe...enjoy....i know i didn't enjoy doing it. lol , I got polish everywhere!!!!
How they started, dirty to washedn to little bit polished. The quad is dirty cuz i guess i technically rode for 10 min this year, that was to warm it up and load it into the truck.

Looks like pee to me! :lol:

Got the 2nd done, well, I gave it a rush job but it looks ok. Going to load it up right now and go wash the quad....shoulda done that 1st, lol

you leave his mother out of this, I'm taking perfectly good care of her 8)
It was a tip from a pro polisher... his shop turns out some sick polished items... Most polishes contain a form of oil and leave a residue.... after polishin like you have rub it down real good with baby powder and see what happens. His stuff looks like chrome when he is done polishing.

:lol:
lol, well she's into it a lot actually, it's mostly this damn winter shit in MN!
she was using her bro's 300 4x4 artic cat, and it's the worst quad I've ever rode, and i don't really complain about any quad cuz i love to ride them all, but this thing was a death trap. I don't know if her dad bent the frame or if that would matter, or if it was the wheel bearing that was going out, but this thing was all over the road like a drunk driver, you could not ride with 1 hand only even at slow speeds, the smallest bump would rip those bars out like nothing. I know cuz it happend to me and I took one in the gut ::) then the other in the wrist on it's way back, it was like a bucking bronco! lol
She always takes my raptor and we've just been trying to get her something fun that we both would enjoy. And can't really find a decent quad for under a grand, and she won't ride a 3 wheeler (told her to get a 250r)_lol. Now we have the quad and the bike so it should be a lot more fun. New sprocket and chain should be here today from RMATV and the damn forcast is rain for the next week here. Sucks cuz we want to go to Akley and go camping soon. They have tons of trails and it's only 45 min away
