tired of it looking crappy

[warriorspeed350]

in attempt to keep it looking better wit the metal shavings and missing rear end i desisded to do a litlle maintenence

i painted the chain guard cause it was faded and ugly

painted the slider cause white is gay

and somewhat polished exactly how i wanted my throttle housing

and there is a pic of my kitty cudeling with his blankey

 

[warriorguy5]

your cat looks very confortable .....lol

 

[jstcriusen1]

Ok...........Im gonna bust your balls. : )
Pull the bolts outta the throttle housing and paint them! : )

 

[jstcriusen1]

will doo capn, right now im leaving the cpu to do it

 

[yamarider]

haha I polished mine that way too, it would have been a pain in the ass to get the spots between the lettering looking good, and then staying nice looking after it gets wet and dirty. I got some allen head screws at the hardware store for my throttle cover, they don't rust and look much nicer than the stock screws.

 

[jstcriusen1]

ALLENS.........Good Idea. I did that to my stock carb.
I hate Yamaha.......screws. i thing there a mix of lead and aluminum............LOL

 

[warriorrider4ever]

haha yaa yoo cat looks cumffyy

lol instead of painting that chain thing u shoulda just bought a new carbonfiber one or sumtin like that.. and now u need to polish the WHOLE throttle housing...

 

[warriorguy5]

i did miine the same way too.lol

this was a cheap solution sence i dont have a job


but good news..... i applied to 4 places today

for the throttle cover, go to a finer grit of paper, end up at a 500 grit or 1000 grit paper and it will really shine, it is much easier to wet sand (add a water if the paper says wet and dry sand on it), the grit made actually helps in the sanding process. Once your done sanding and you can hardly see the scratches get a can of mothers mag and aluminum polish and a soft cloth and polish it up, it will make it look a ton better, good job on the polish now, but you can still see scratches, go the extra mile and you will be MUCH happier trust me.

And if you want to polish more an easy thing to do is the oil filter cover next time your doing an lube job.
And I'm not trying to rib on your polish job, I'm just trying to help you out to make it look better.

Chad-

Just wanted to thank you for providing positive input without flaming.

Your reply here was well put.

It's nice to see someone provide positive criticism without starting a flame fest.

 

[suspensionworx]

u should sell it



JK ....wetsand up to 2000 if u want some serious BLING BLING ....then polish it with a terrycloth buffing pad on a high speed drill....(itll come out much shinier than by hand) and some mothers aluminum polish....shitt'll look like chrome

hey thanks thats all i intended it to be, thats what I was kinda afraid of was him thinking I was just tryin to rip his polish job. Thats what I was aiming for was to provide feedback and not bash someone, hoping that people will do the same for my quad.

And warriorspeed, I'm just as broke as you are and probably a little bit more (pay off the quad and insurance coming up) so I'm lookin for the same somewhat free mods that I can do too, I'm sick of looking at the boring dull engine, so I've been thinking of ways to dress it up a little.
