Sooooooo all of you know race season will be starting for me in less than 60 dayssss:aargh::huh::confused:and i don't even have my quad ripped apart yet....

gotta love that winter mud & snow series :yes:

soo...I'm going to start getting things ready for her to be switched over in the beginning of February...the last race we're doing is Feb. 8th...that means I have about 2 weeks to get her ready for the GNCC series start in Florida!!!!!!!!!

nothin like procrastination ehhh?:confused::wink:

anywho...first thing...need advice on making a step seat...cause they don't make one for my girl, so I have to make one with some closed cell foam...what I need advice on is the kind of seat cover I want...I want a gripper one, but I'm wondering if I should get a seat cover made for a bigger seat, like an LTR450??

I'm going to take my old seat cover off my seat and use that seat to start, and just use the foam to build a little step up on the back...Im concerned that getting a regular 400 seat cover will smoosh it or look stupid....but then if i get a bigger one, I don't want it to look baggy...:frown:

help??

i've also gotta get the fasst bars on that have been ordered (YEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY) and the hipers....YEYYYY AGAIN!! and I've gotta get my new diggers ordered...just waitin to hear back from ITP on sponsorship/rider support...checkin out some graphics packages...wanna get the frame powder coated but im just not sure if i'll have time for that....either way she's goin to be sleek and sexy:yes::wink::biggrin:

If you put a stock 400 seat cover it will either A. not fit over the hump, or B. Flatten it out.

If you put an LTR seat cover it is way different shaped and will leave loose spots. How similar is your seat to nick's? I think your best bet would be buy the seat cover that supports the hump for the 450R and work with that.

Yes it ought to be bad when you get done with it. I don't know about the seat cover. I think Bot is right though you should find one that is close to what your have now but to fit with the added hump.

      I Crashed My Quad

      Third one Follows more of what happens after .

      I Was Riding By Myself. I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.

      ATV Snow Plow Review, Best ATV & UTV Snow Plows
      By Ajmboy
      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.
