Posted by: Pink Power

Hi everyone, my name is Cameron, I'm 8 years old, and this is my first modification to my quad. I like learning new things about my quad. I hope you like my pictures.
Tell me what you think.

this is my quad with the stock wheels...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_9993.jpg

we used a tape measure to measure the width...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_9995.jpg

with the stock wheels, it is 36" wide...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_9997.jpg

I like to work on my quad. I'm removing the nuts using my Dads ratchet wrench...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_9999.jpg

Mom said I should put my hair in a bun so it wont get caught while I'm working...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0001.jpg

The first wheel is off...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0004.jpg

Duchess likes to lick my ear while I'm working...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0006.jpg

These are the new adapters my Dad (tri5ron), got from Birddogg.
Thanks Birddogg ! they look so cool with the red powdercoating !...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0008.jpg

I'm done removing the stock wheels...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0009.jpg

putting the new adapter on the hub...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0011.jpg

This is how the bolts go...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0020.jpg

Dad helps me get the bolts tight, I took this picture of him...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0017.jpg

Here's my new wheels and tires. They are off of my Dad's 400EX. The tires are Turf Tamers...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0022.jpg

Now it will be much harder to flip over when I'm riding, like the last time when I was doing Donuts, and got tossed off...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0023.jpg

Time for bolting on the new wheels...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0024.jpg

This is how it looks on the inside of the wheel...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0035.jpg

Here's the difference between the two wheels. WOW !

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0033.jpg

We measured the width of the new wheels...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0027.jpg

40" !!!, That's 4" wider than stock , WOW!, My quad will be alot more stable in the turns now...

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0026.jpg

YEA !!!, My first mod that I did myself !
I cant wait to try them out!

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/2006%20TRX90%20Quad/IMG_0034.jpg

Good job Cameron! So, if you got Dad's old ones, I guess Dad got an upgrade too.

Good for both of you.

You won't get stuck as much either, and Dad won't have to pull you out. Nice.

Posted by: Johnny Minehan

Thats awesome! And im liking the pink handguards

Posted by: speedyquad

good job...now you need to talk dad into making the front wider for you...

Posted by: motofreak2772

Good Job! It took me 16 years to figure out how to take my wheels off, you did it in half that time haha.

Posted by: BlaineKaiser450

itll ride a whole lot better now!! have fun!

Posted by: Pipeless416

looking good! i never even thought of this mod!

Posted by: matt14c

Have you tried them out yet? Wondering how well the motor pushes the larger tires if it messed the gearing up at all? Nice job on the mod. Thats what is makes this sport great. Cant learn that stuff playing video games.

we haven't ridden with it yet, but the gearing should not be greatly affected due to the new tires are about th same diameter as the stock tires.

Birddogg adapters $34
New wheels for dad's ride $242

Dadda-Daughter Quad-time PRICELESS!!!!

You ROCK Cameron!!!

I've got a 9 year-old daughter and she rides a 90EX as well. You dad and I have already spoke about doing some riding out at El Mirage...we'll have us a good old time.

Hey...I hear you have a pet rattlesnake?

Let us know how that quad handles, I just might do the same thing with my daughters quad!

Posted by: DMC-4OOEX

haha thats pretty cool.

Posted by: bigd's ex

Great job Cameron !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://smilies.vidahost.com/cwm/big/biggrin.gif

Posted by: Birddogg

I hoped you would like the adapters Cameron, and It's good to see you're wrenching on your own machine. One of the best things about riding is modifying your ride to make it your own.

Once again Ron it was a pleasure doing business with you, and I'm glad you guys are happy with the adapters.

Posted by: xDeeVy465x

Cool, this is similar to the Blaster with Warrior wheel mod, good thinking, now drop a 450 motor in your 90!

Posted by: sexyatvchic

Awesome! Keep up the good work! I'm sure that will do better in those turns!

Posted by: tri5ron

Yeah, She's got visions of flying with the birds like one of her current hero's on this forum, Kelly Winters...

Cameron also thinks Ashley Bryson is pretty hot stuff too, but dosent have any pictures of her to hang on her wall

Posted by: xDeeVy465x

Yeah, They sure are hot stuff

Did you see that deaf girl that got gold at the X games in supercross, sure that will motivate her aswell.

Posted by: snobmxman101

that will work good when your in mud but your atv might a little slower. but good job im going to do that with my atv becouse of the fact that i go in deep mud.

what is the website for those adapters?

Posted by: Pink Power

Thanks everybody for all the replies, I really love reading them.
We havent been able to go riding it yet, but I hope it will be more stable because the tires are more flat and wider.

Hi BikeSwimLaugh,
My Dad says we will be going to El Mirage sometime in October, when it gets a little cooler in the desert.

I think Elana and I will get along really well. Does she have any decorations on her quad? I have alot of pink stickers on my quad, but not too many. I also have a pink atv necklace from Kelly Winters, at Motogems jewelry. She is a really cool rider.

Now about the Rattlesnake...
I don't have a pet rattlesnake, we just saw it in our camp, and my dad played with it for a little while. I don't think a rattlesnake would make a good pet because they can bite you and that would not be a good feeling.

so now our new rule about camping in the desert is that no one goes outside of the camper in the mornings, until dad goes out first and makes sure that everything is safe.

Posted by: Midnight Ninja

Hello Cameron, my name is Elana but I like to be called Ellie...

So I look foward to going to El Mirage with you and your family. We like to go to El Mirage and camp out there in the same spot because there's a super fun track nearby where we ride. I think you will like it to. We also like doing rockets to and having a camp fire at night.

About my 90EX, I have to stickers on my ATV. We also put on some Elka shocks, a steering stabilizer, front headlights that make it look mean and a mount for a Garmin Rino 110 GPS/FRS radio so I can talk with my dad when we ride. My dad says we might put his 400EX wheels on my quad depending on how you like yours. Great work on your mod, it looks like you had fun. We also have a yellow lab dog too but she's a mix and smaller then your dog.

We don't have a pet rattlesnake but we do have a dog, fish, a turtle and some little chickens. We used to have a pet rat but it died.

about the rattlesnake it is not my pet!
my dad was just playing with it and teaching us about them.
we have 2 landsailers and we can take you for a ride.

your quad sounds pretty cool. can you post some pics of it ? I have not been able to ride my quad with the new rear wheels yet, but maybe my dad will let me try it this weekend in the backyard.

I would like to ride on the track with you. it will be fun.
Cameron

Ohh my dear Cameron. I've got to hand it to ya...you're becoming quite the lil pro, you know it? These pictures just prove how tough and cool girls can be

I am so proud of you for being excited and willing to work on your quad. I think that is very important. I know a lot of girls (and boys, too!) who still don't know how to change their own tires...and they're quadruple your age! Daddy taught you well. Keep up the good work. It's so good to hear from you! Glad you're still involved and most of all...EXCITED about riding! Thanks for the great pics Cam!

Much love,
Ashley

here's her first trial ride on the new rear wheels.
Greater stability - yes, greater traction - yes, greater need to hook her butt farther over .... due to greater speed required .... to do the donuts - yes,
greater "Nervous Mom" factor,...YES!
