sorry missed the one photo part bot

[Stoopidbot1]

No biggie, just wanted you to get your best pic in there!

Why will all the text be deleted? I would think that a description of the machine is somewhat important. Voters should know how much work has gone into each project.

That is just how QC does it. They just take the first picture. I don't recall seeing any text in previous contest.

I think that we should make an exception to that, like I said I think it is important for voters to know what has been modified. The theme is described as" "Best Modified From Original" is basically anything that makes your machine different from factory (OEM) original. This could be addons, mechanical modifications, graphics, exterior accessories (luggage, winches, grips, ...), tires, etc..." I think that alot of the details listed in the contest description might not be noticed or explained well enough by a single pic. For example, if I were to enter my TRX 500R, and the only thing you had to go on was this pic, then most people would not see all of the time, custom fab work and enginuity that has gone into this project. At first glance, it looks like a relatively normal '86 250R with poorly painted plastics. What you may not notice is that the frame is completely hand made from a jig built off of an actual 250R frame, or the extensive modification necessary to stuff a CR 500 motor into it and make all of the intake plumbing squeeze by the rear shock, or that the pipe was actually hand made by some one to fit the 250R frame, but is tuned for a CR 500 motor. You may not notice the +2 400ex a-arms that have been modified to work properly with the KFX 450 shocks, or the custom shock mounts that had to be made from scratch to fit them on the machine. You may not notice the modified kick starter that had to be extended out from the motor in order to clear the rear brake master cylinder, or the brace and custom machined brass bushing that keep the side cover from cracking due to the extra pressure put on it by the kicker sticking out so far from the motor. You cant see inside to see the '87 crank that has a rod that is 5mm longer than the stock '86 crank, and it would be hard to notice the spacer plate machined for me by Cometic gasket co. to compensate for the longer rod. You definately would not notice the hand fabricated adaptors that allow for the use of the twin piston 250R brake calipers on the ex spindles because the ex brakes do not cut the mustard on this machine. You would not be able to tell that the entire rear suspension is actually off of an '85 ATC 250R with the exception of the shock which is one of the only actual factory '86 TRX 250R parts on this machine aside from the front brake calipers plastics, thumb throttle and brake lever/resivior.

We start a separate thread always for voting, this thread remains.

It's a photo contest, so we start a separate thread with all the photos in a row. This thread can always be referenced. Your text will remain.

Yes, first photo added will be used in the contest.

[Stoopidbot1]

I didn't mean that QC would delete your text, I just meant that when they line up the pics for voting it won't be visible on the votong thread.
