Yeah Dez I went 89 because his bike had 90 decals and I'm not a fan of the 88 decals at all.

Got one front graphic on today before I had to split from the shop. Took me forever to get it lined up just how I wanted so didn't do but one! The fenders and hood are just sitting on the bike nothing is mounted and the bike is dirty as **** and my bike has become a box rack because we got a new toy bay so all the toys are in moving process.

Thank you sir, did you get a complete oem kit, if so how much if ya don't mind my asking?

Did you spray it or dry stick it? I sprayed mine way easier.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #831 on:** April 04, 2014, 03:29:46 am »

I didn't get a complete kit just got the front Suzuki 89 graphics rear fender 500's 89 and gloss black number plates. Cost was $99 shipped. And Cunningham I dry stuck them his tips and tricks said wet sticking is easier but not recommended.

The grey/white/black looks fockin sweet man. It's definitely a lot better than it was. That's for sure

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #833 on:** April 04, 2014, 12:50:28 pm »

Got everything but the number plates on ddrslap wasn't happy with the original ones he sent so he's sending out a second set will be here beginning of next week. Truly a great guy to deal with I didn't even notice anything wrong with the plates he just wasn't fully satisfied with them. Well here it is everything is just sitting on the bike nothing attacked yet or lined up. Springs are getting ran blue and white then I'm powdering the main springs yellow and top two black chrome.

Decals looking great! Cool to see that the light bolted up!

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #835 on:** April 04, 2014, 02:08:47 pm »

Thanks Dez haven't started the bike since I wired up the light cause I need to get fresh new 112.

Chuckie25 · « **Reply #836 on:** April 04, 2014, 02:54:30 pm »

are your rims painted or powder coated? thinking of doing my fronts flat black

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #837 on:** April 04, 2014, 03:30:19 pm »

Powder coated only thing that's painted on the whole bike is my motor and sprocket hub rear rotor mount and axle lock nuts chain adjuster washer things and rear chain adjuster plate.

Lookin good Buckeye.Any pics of the number plates?

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #839 on:** April 04, 2014, 04:47:42 pm »

The ones ddrslap sent me originally I didn't see anything wrong with but he wasn't satisfied with them for some reason and told me to pitch them he was sending me out some better ones. They're the solid black number plates.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #840 on:** April 08, 2014, 02:14:30 pm »

Got the number plates on. Front fenders fell off my mock up and I'm gonna pull the carb and steering stem later this week so not mounting everything back up just yet.

El Diablo · « **Reply #841 on:** April 08, 2014, 02:24:32 pm »

Lookin good. I just saw that you have a Moose thumb throttle. How do you like it?

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #842 on:** April 08, 2014, 02:37:14 pm »

The dual gasser I love it! Comes in handy on long rides if you're thumb gets tired just switch to twist. I really like twist throttle for drag racing and thumb for trail riding so its perfect. Jason can get you one for about $60 less then retail.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #843 on:** April 12, 2014, 04:49:14 am »

Got it put back together last night. Hopefully riding today or tomorrow.

SamBoneLT500 · « **Reply #844 on:** April 12, 2014, 05:18:11 am »

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #845 on:** April 12, 2014, 05:38:23 am »

What size tires you running on the back?

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #847 on:** April 12, 2014, 07:47:37 pm »

They're 21x12x10 6 ply and they're hard as hell because they still have the nipples on them. Only ridden on them like 4 times.

I like how your quad sits on the 21,s.That tread pattern looks like it would really dig on.I,m running 20" Razr,s and they,re getting shredded like tissue paper.lol Might try a different tire.Seems the 500,s eat tires fast with all that torque.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #849 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:04:59 pm »

I like the tire size but I'm not a fan of these tires. They're really stiff and don't get a lot of bite on rocky hard packed stuff. No real flex to dig in so the just kinda sit on top of hard stuff and spin. Great in mud though! Was hitting all the mud holes the 4c4's were hitting! Lol
