UPDATE!

-----------

bout time for another update huh?

well,

some of the decals are here..

couple of polaris ones..

the brake pads.

and im just now getting back to the project becuase of prior grounding.

so.

today, i got her out. and bad news..battery is dead.. so i had to pull start this thing lol.

working on getting the battery charged..i took her out for a niiiiiiice scrubbin' i washed every nook and cranny of her today..

and she is sittin in the garage clean as whistle right now.

i would have all the stickers on but my dad is having problems with our suburban [thats a first] so this week i am really getting back into the project..

selling some things for cash [the ps2, a 10 inch subwoofer,] and collecting cans..[i have like 5 bags right now] which can earn me some good cash..

i think im going for more decals for the first cosmetic mod..

and for performance..i am buying the RCR air box mod kit.

give me a little more flow..

and i think i am deciding on a ceramic finish RCR pipe and muffler..

as soon as i get the money ill be ordering that..which comes with a jets i think..and the clutch kit should be on the way too.

later this summer i should get a flywheel mod..from RCR which removes 13 ounces making engine response better.

but um a question..

does anyone here know an easy way to remove decals?

if so post plz.

thats about it...

any input?

[Bobbyfz450]

yea they make a sticker remover liquid i dont know what it is but look in a atv mag!!

[trailblazer_02]

neat.

ill look for some..see if its cheap enough.

[Stoopidbot1]

Find some Goo B Gone. They sell it at home depot and stuff. It is made to remove the sticky crap left behind from stickers.

[trailblazer_02]

uh.

first things first.

i have to get teh sticker itself off. lol

[Stoopidbot1]

Get a hair dryer or a heat gun and blow some hot air on the stickers. This will soften the glue. Use a razor blade to lift the corner of the sticker. Peel the sticker off very slowly. Do NOT hold the heat to one spot for too long, you may heat the plastic too much and make it warp.

[BuckBilly]

Power washer works to.

[Stoopidbot1]

I use a preasure washer to wash mine everytime. I have never blown a sticker off or lifted one.

[ZacUSNYR]

Power washer works good. Set the nozzle to be thin and adjust your angle and that sucker will blow right off - get it like 1/2" from the plastics. I take off all my stickers this way and most of the time it doesn't even leave behind the sticky residue

But WD40 works great for removing the residue. Then clean with rubbing alcohol.

[Sc0tt]

Yeah I have used a power washer to get my stickers off. It works great. Kinda messy clean up since the don't always come off in one piece but it is still the easiest way.

[Stoopidbot1]

I guess mine don't come off cuz I'm not trying to blow them off.

[trailblazer_02]

wow a little too late fellaz.

me and my friend after school, used wd40 and a razor blade..

got em all off. and washed the sticky crap off.

ill post pictures later today...i think my dada nd i are going to get the brake pads on today.

expect progress pics soon!

and i took the front mud guard off.

[Stoopidbot1]

So what have you shead, about 40lbs? That should put it at 500lbs?

[ZacUSNYR]

I lost more then that by not eating heh

[trailblazer_02]

nah. 40lb loss would put me at. like..430?

idk i havent rele check that weight..

[Stoopidbot1]

I lost more then that by not eating heh

I couldn't imagine not eating. I'm 6'2" 180lbs wearing wet clothes. If I didn't eat for one day I think I would disappear.

[trailblazer_02]

im not real sure on my height..i have been growing a lot.

im like 5'9? 5'10?

and 146.

[trailblazer_02]

wooo hooo

i just got done taking all the plastic off..

it took like 2-3 hours...

i did it by myself.

it took a lot to get that crap off.

well my dad just threw the plastic in the back of his truck.

he is taking it to work to get it repaired and painted BLACK!

im excited. not long after this. the rims will be black..i think he will be taking the rims to his work tommorow. the front nose piece im still undecided...lime green?

white?

so i think just a polaris and flame decal on the tank. and the nos piece: a small polaris and big monster M. two big M's on the inside back fenders. and a couple little ones here and there.

sounds good to me.

[outlander560]

for the front nose you should paint it red

[trailblazer_02]

idk maybe.

[Stoopidbot1]

If you are going for the Monster theme why would you paint it red? Go green with your "M" on the nose piece black. Alot of times decals don't stick well to the gas tank. If you spill ANY gas on the sticker it is done. Just remember, when putting all your stickers on, less is more.

[trailblazer_02]

so just both of them black?

i thought about that..wouldnt look bad.

a lot of black with a little green here and there..

sounds good. im in.

[outlander560]

o i didnt know it had monster labels on it yea red was a bad idea

[Stoopidbot1]

That's how mine is TB, all black with a little red.

[mywifeknowseverythin]

Glad its coming along for you.....

and collecting cans

I used to do this as a kid....I would go around to Houses that were being built and ask them If I could place a Garbage Can there and for them to put their Cans in(or plastic Bottles, But back then we didnt have those....LMAO!!!) Do that at Several Different Sites and it works well....People are always willing to help out Kids.....

later this summer i should get a flywheel mod..from RCR which removes 13 ounces making engine response better.

How much do they charge????? I can get it done Cheaper I bet.....I have done this to several of my 2 Strokes.....Very nice Throttle Response once this is done.....

How about some updated Pictures:wink:

[trailblazer_02]

got some pics of it bare now. i will put them up in a sec.
