Looking good, just 2 things that jump out at me...

why not a new coolant overflow bottle? and have you looked at any of the guards for them for extra flair?

And no custom warning labels?

I'd like to get a new coolant overflow bottle, but when you start buying stuff like that where do you stop? Its kinda hard to draw a line.

To me I think the OEM warning lables look 10 times better than some of that cheap shit you see on ebay. I HATE the aluminum plates people cut.

Sometimes less is more 8)

Looks outstanding Preddy, but as much as I hate to I agree with Pat that tank needs replaced, and your right where does it stop on replacing stuff, also possible one other suggestion paint the brake calipers. Again looks great can wait to see it at LS.

I think this was never intended to be a show atv. You're on the edge now, between so pretty you dont want to hurt it and shined up, ready for more abuse. Honestly, aside from the chrome parts, this looks like a well rebuilt atv, ready to kick the crap out of which is right up Gunny's alley. Also I think that is what he wanted in the first place.

Either way, bringing it out into the sunlight really gave me some perspective. Its gorgeous. I hope Mike puts out for this  :thumbs:

Well done  :thumbs:

So what did you guys decide to do with the tank topper and hood?  The skull theme or blue CF with flames?

The warning labels look fine.... I rather have the stock labels vs the aftermarket aluminum. I think they look tacky. Bleach that coolant overflow, it'll look like new. Just cap the end and fill it up with water and bleach. The intentions of this bike was to freshen up a 4 year old bike that has been ridden hard and put up wet way to many times. It was showing some serious wear, inside and out. The tranny needed rebuilt, the subframe was tore up, I needed a new swinger, half the cables were trashed, the paint and plastics were trashed. This is not intended to be a show bike. never was and still isn't. Preddy was given instructions to totally disassemble the bike and build it back up. Replace any worn parts and go with candy blue and chrome ,staying with the SE2 theme.
