we had a couple of weeks in between racing and brandon finally
put the stock swingarm out of its misery while in first

so i ordered the suspension and did some powdercoating.
i got the idea to try white from a picture that i saw of daryl rath's
tt racer 450 and thought it looked kool.should be a rolling chassis
by the end of the week. more pic's to come

sand blasted the pipe and painted it (high heat). the pipe looked
like hell after a year of racing.

I have ours mounted there but it is rolled up so it sits on top of the tube.I think it is a little more tucked out of the way like that.

The quad looks really good!

Posted by: JIM GRACE

did you run the hose the same way too. i was looking at it tonight and
would rather have the adjustment on top instead of upside down

brandon's dad #55

Posted by: wvspeedfreak

Yes,our line is routed the same way.

last weekend was alot of fun, both of drew's quad's are eye
catcher's. brandon was checking out his fox set-up.

i snapped a pic of you and your boy on the starting gate
at the tri-state's. pm me your e-mail and i can send it to you..

p.s. thank's to everybody for all the compliments. it took me alot
longer to do then planned but it was worth all those late night's

THE BIKE LOOKS GREAT. WHAT SWINGARM AND SHOCK LENGTH IS ON IT.

Posted by: JIM GRACE

the swing arm is a dc long travel--powdercoated white
and the shock is an elka fully adjustable long travel.
don't know the length off the top of my head..

It was a great time, too bad I took drew out of the 70cvt class to avoid some issues with other parents but drew loved racing the 90 cvt and the sr mini (90 MOD), he was really proud of himself to get Travis on one of the holeshots and be right on Dave Nevrotsky's tail on one in the Sr. Mini.

Are you going to make Englishtown this weekend?

We may have his complete front end for sale off from both quads to build something new with some custom shocks......

Jim who makes that rear grab bar?

Posted by: SMS

xfr Makes the grab bars and nerfs

Posted by: JIM GRACE

i'm not sure if xfr made this one. it was on the quad when i bought from gary earlier this year. i think it is off of an apex..

brandon's dad #55

Posted by: raidernut

Thats what i thought it looked like (apex)

Posted by: SMS

ya your right I have the xfr ones here and they are different sorry.

Ya leave it to Gary the proclaimed leader of the DRR Nation to put an Apex part on a DRR

Just kidding Gary, that actually looks to work well with the MK Pro pipe setup. I know with a stock grab bar, and the mk silencer, it is difficult to lift rear of bike. Your build looks great by the way, nice work

Posted by: dblacks

I believe it is an AC grab bar that is made for an apex but will fit a drr too
