Just hessatant to pull the trigger and buy it lol

I'm half tempted to buy material and try myself. But for 35 bucks it should fit perfect.

I'm half tempted to make a kickstand for it.
Would defanatly make my life easier. It's constantly falling over whenever we go riding. I usually lean it against my truck. Then forget about it and start hopping in and out of the truck.
I don't think it would be to hard to make one. I'll just have to source a spring for it

I've used several of those filters on 30mm Mikuni carbs with very good results; I haven't had one tear yet. If the OD of your quad is 42mm, it will be perfect.

The formed seat covers are sure nice for a resto look, but you're not going for that. Head to Fabricland in Duncan and see if they have Daytona vinyl in stock. I bought enough red Daytona to cover two seats for less than $10, and it's UV-rated for outdoor use. Good stuff.

It will be a little tough to cover the metal seat pan, but it can still be done. In addition to the punched metal triangles, you can also use short sheetmetal screws, since the foam will never compress enough to poke someone in the bum.

Here's an XR100 kickstand and pegs for cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XR100R-Footp...727ecd&vxp=mtr
