Money well spent

[pelphrey]

People have been all over me from time to time about replacing my bumper. Well the time has come. Today I ordered the alba bumper in black from http://www.albaaction.com I also ordered a kill switch, clutch cover gasket, and an AC rear grab bar(mine is bent from the good ol' 12 oclock wheelies). No clue how fast alba ships the stuff, but I got the other 3 things from http://www.magicracing.com and they usually take 5 business days to get.

The alba bumper was only 39.99 + shipping which was about 50 total. My order from magic was right under 100 dollars with shipping. Gasket 9.99, kill switch 21.95 and the AC grab bar was 49.95 and should hold up better then the stocker. Looking forward to the bumper and gasket most of all. Finally time to put my chrome clutch cover on. I'll post pics when I get all this stuff.

That bumper is a great deal. It's not a case of 'you get what you pay for' with the Alba bumper, it's great quality. Good buys.

 

[warriorrider13]

yeah, the pro elite bumpers are awesome I think.

after alba finally did ship my nerfs, it took about 5 days to get them. that bumper looks tight. i might have to pick one up myself.

 

[klutchbuster350]

nice!!!
you just motivated me to buy that bumper!!!!

This sucks, I really do like that bumper and I've had my eye on it for sometime. Actually plan on getting both the nerfs and bumper from Alba, but unfortunately it's getting to be way to popular.
I'll probably still get it in time though.

 

[pelphrey]

Just because it is popular on the site and the internet doesn't mean it is popular around your area. I have not seen the bumper in my area (not saying it isn't around).

 

[pdxguy]

Yeah I realize this, as mentioned I'm sure I'll still be picking one up in the future. It's a great look and it's hard to pass up at that price. Specially if the construction is as decent as people say... goes for both the nerfs and the bumper.

I had my quad out the other weekend and there was one other warrior there, completely stock from what I could tell. Based on that, I'm not too worried about running into numerous people with them, but it's nice to have something different - to stand out a little more.

 

[pelphrey]

I Understand the "stand out a little more". Needless to say with the minor add-ons that I have on my warrior I stand out from the rest around here.

Well all but 20warrior01 he has the only warrior near me, that is on the site...

Magic racing suprised me today with my grab bar, kill switch, and gasket. Very fast shipping, I ordered this stuff late afternoon on tuesday. Installing aftermarket parts is the story of my life. Why do they even drill holes in parts when the holes don't match up at all. As usual the grab bar doesn't bolt right in (who would have guessed). Im not pissed, I'll just have to drill the holes out nothing else I can do about it.

Anyway I mounted the kill switch to the middle of my bars over the stock crap pad. Not liking it at all, so I suppose I'll get a new set of bars too soon.

I've been dicking around with the bumper for a little over 15 minutes and time has run out. My girl friend has a softball tournament I must attend. I'll work on it later or tomorrow. Hopefully later so I can go ride for an hour or two tomorrow.

Sometimes we have to do whats best

 

[pdxguy]

Yes, unfortunately you are right. Just get a kick of the "must attend" comment, sounds like you wouldn't have much of a problem thinking of a few other places you'd rather be

 

[pelphrey]

Yeah Id rather be here working on the quad. I skipped the game this morning and this afternoon went to the game to see them get beat. Oh well we had a nice dinner at Moon Light (Kentucky Bar-B-Q) I got my grab bar on and now working on the kill switch. I'll probably wait to put the chrome clutch cover on when I change my earl (oil, or your 710 cap 710=oil upside down) again..

LOL

glad to see you finally ordered the bumper! havent you been talking about getting that one ever since i put mine on and posted pics? either way, glad to see its coming. if you are getting new bars, i would suggest pro tapers, either the se (with the cross bar and pad) or the contour oversize bars. you have to use the universal bar mounts for the contour bars (not the ones for rubber mounted clamps) and they are the bomb-biggity! i love em. just need to maybe get a riser for the stem or extended stem. lets see some pics when you get it man!

 

[pelphrey]

Yeah I've been talking about it for awhile. I just never ordered it becuase my stock bumper isn't broken or rusted. I hadn't bought anything for the warrior in a month so I figured I would get the bumper after all. I was hoping it would show up today but no luck there....

 

[usdsk8er540]

right on. yeah i think alba shipped mine fairly quickly. its a good bumper, but i think its kinda small for the warrior. they should have made them a little bigger and had them stick out a bit more. oh well, still a good looking bumper. what color u getting for the screen in it? black?

 

[pelphrey]

Yeah black. I am glad its small. I don't like the DG and AC bumpers becuase of how big they are..
