Same here. Not the left or right side. since they both usually take the same bolts. But.. I had about 30ish baggies of bolts and misc stuff. Made it 100% easier putting back together. :thumbs:
Funny how sandwich bags and a sharpie made my life simple...LOL

Preddy, what color are you powder coating the frame?
Grant
Grant, check out my last post. It should match my seat nicely. I did my old predator the same color two years before.
Are you doing your subframe as well? ???

LOL, when ever I tired to describe the color to someone I always told them to think of a bass boat.
As of now I'm just waiting on the tamper proof torx bit to come in so I can take apart the frame, have it welded, then its off the the PCer :clap:
Cool color Preddy you must have been trippen when that color came to you :lol:
Looks kick ass though :thumbs:

You should have seen the old predator when I had it done!
That's some big flake in the paint. I bet it will look cool and way different than 99% of the quads out there. :batman:
Grant
I had to weld a bolt to the head of the tamper proof bolts om mine to get them out. They are tough. I am painting a YFZ that color tomorrow. Looks good.

Just about any decent autoparts store can order it in. I went through APW autoparts. I know that sears can get you one too. Its a T-50.
I hope mine are'nt to tight. I know that torx bits really like to strip out. I'm going home at lunch and hitting it with some PB Blaster :help:
I love torx bits.
I prefer them over phillips for decking. :)

+1 all of my printers are held together with almost 100% torx t-20's :thumbs: Rarely strip. In fact, I stole some from here, that is what I replaced my float bowl screws with. Those philips head screws sucked!
getting a little closer. Just waiting for the top end.
