Ok, I figured its time to make the ole rappy pretty and need some input.
I will be buying a TQS graphis kit and was debating on what colors to do. I want the graphics in the black and gray with dark green accents to match a seat cover I'll be getting. Here the link to the disco green I want to put on the side stripe of the seat.

Heres a link to the seat its self.

Then I'll be getting a black pro armo grab bar, kill switch, and reverse lever.
Any thoughts? I dont want to do blue, or red. Those are all to played out. Heres a look at my old predator's frame.

Click on the first pic and you can see it alot better. I really loved how it looked! I want the TQS graphics to have some green like that in it too.
This is the color I did on the predator......damn it "pops" in the sunlight!

That is badass :jaw: I just got a Jettrim seat cover from morgan I got to get it put on :grin_nod: I think that green would look good :thumbs:
Nice, sounds like that quad is going to look good instead of the red headed step child.

that is so damn bad
and really original i think your ole lady is gonna have a run for her money when you get done with it
lord know youll be sleeping in the garage with it :rofl:
what do the tqs graphics look like for the 700? i know what they look like for the yfz 8) :batman:
just a guess, but probably the same, just fits different ???
Just order up a Jet trim seat today. They are doing a "Von Dutch" pin stripe stiching in the middle of the seat. CANT WAIT!!
It will look like this, but with green stiching!
http://www.jettrim.com/products/index.php?p=images&productid=6&imgid=302
pin stripes are awesome. :clap:
Really nice color you have done the frame in preddy :thumbs: can't wait to see it all finished.
Phase one is complete. Custom jet trim seat cover is installed.
I have to say that the fit and finish of this seat cover is about as good as it gets! You have so many different options to choose from its amazing. Install took about half an hour from start to finish.
Stage two should be here soon I hope. Color matched TQS graphics kit.

I'm really not looking forward to PCing the frame this winter. Thats such a PAIN IN THE ASS!!!
Last winter I did my predators frame and my buddys predator frame. Thankfully we each bought a spare frame and just swapped everything over to the new one. Even then it took about 4 hours of both of us tag teaming it to get it done.
coming from someone who's already done it.. it's not to bad.. Put all pieces into ziplock bags and label them. makes putting it back together litterally 100x easier!
thats too cool :thumbs: i like ur fender cut too

I'm never that organized. I'll take it apart and toss all the bolt in a big box.
You can hold up ANY bolt off of the predator and I can tell you where it goes and what size it is.
lookin good preddy :thumbs:

That seat is very nice, how much ???

Got it from JetTrim.com. All said and done it was 120 shipped. The people there are REALLY nice and will walk you through all the steps of ordering. I didnt even know that they did stiching other than flames. Turns out they will do flames, tribal flames, and my "von dutch" pin striping.
$120 isn't bad at all
Could they do a step seat? Similar to a Quad Tech seat?
That thing is looking BADASS Preddy!! :thumbs: :thumbs:
That seat is really nicly done Preddy great choice. :thumbs:

Give them a call. I have no idea if they can do a hump style seat or not.
Busby, I thought you might like that.
Yea i do like it alot buddy, has great contrast of the colors and the stiching in the seat is a nice balance. Can't wait to see the bike finished when you get the frame done with that great looking metal flake green and it all put together. :)
Looks Awesome :thumbs: :clap:
I wish i would have known they did Pinstriping.. Well I guess I'm gonna sell the one I bought off Morgan...
I got a little side track from making it purdy and bought a curtis sparks big core exhaust. DAMN is this thing mean. I did not have a chance to tune it in, but it made a HUGE difference! I am running really fat now, but it'll get me by till this winters build.
I did get the CF hood. Right now it does'nt look to bad, but when I get the TQS graphics in on Friday it will go together quite nicely.

Lol. It's preddy man, he will make it pretty then tear the crap outta it! And start all over. :batman:
I will NEVER own a trailer queen!!!!! I will tear it up, break shit and come back for more. It gives me something fun to do during the week. 8)
:lol: I couldn't help it I just had to say it :P
I still think you should get the frame done this winter if you can afford it, it would look so good with the seat that you have aswell.
Graphics kit is on and it looks amazing!! Pics soon to come.

He said that is the resivor for the rear shock in and earlier post.
Yeah it's the resi for the rear shock, the line runs up there and he has it clamed up front.

Yup, its for the rear shock. I really dont know why they dont run a piggy back, but it is nice having it up front so you can adjust it with out getting of the quad.
If they make it like that it musta been for a good reason, Elka don't f*ck around! If we meet up for a ride ever, i want to see the difference from my shocks to yours. Then I will probably write a check for 2 grand to get them! :nana:
They did it to get the heat out of the shock and away from the motor. Much easier to cool the rezzy up front, than when its attached to the shock and behind a motor.
I see, that makes sence. Well still we need to hook up for a ride one day so I can test em out. Just if I dont come back don't worry!
Looking good Preddy. :thumbs:
