Was'nt talking about the valve stems. I was refering to the directional tread patern on the tires.
Good looking machine! Congrats. |

Looks really good universal! Have you thought about wheel spacers?
I put them on mine and it really seemed to help a lot.

I don't know why, but all the quads I have ever seen have a more narrow track in the rear, it looks retarded. Quote:
Yes as a matter of fact I was going to look tonight for the thread where you talked about the spacers. Your went on the threads correct? Got them off of Ebay? Quote:

Tonight I got the fenders on. Had to redo the hardware situation for the foot pegs/guards. I also got the rear brakes bolted up.
Handle bar adjusted and tightened. Lines seem to be ok and in a chaff free position. Front bumper on, and started the rear rack. |

Some have said that they put stress on the wheel,but I had no problems.Also I have not read any actual problems from people who have used them on an ATV sight that I belong to.
these are the ones I used on the rear tires. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ATV-Q...QQcmdZViewItem

Those are what I need. Thanks. I just hate to waste 30 bucks if they are the wrong thread size. |

If in doubt I would ask Tim, But I am almost sure you have a 10mm hub.Most Chinese quads are.

Here is the final product with all the goofy decals removed. I will do some vids as soon as I can. So far, all I can say is that I am damn glad I saved about 6 grand and went with this quad. Is it Jap quality? Umm No.... Is it good enough for a first learner? Hell yes. Is it worth the twelvehundo ? Absolutely.
I will enjoy it till I break it beyond repair, then buy another. :wink: Once again I am the Guinea Pig. I Have a buddy doing a Utility and another one doing the same quad I just did. I will probably do more pics for the Utility. I know not everyone cares to read this stuff, but when I was searching CR I wish I would have found a few more posts like this. Wheel spacers for the rear are coming. If anyone needs any close ups or different pics just ask. :wink: |

Looks great. I think you are going to be happy with the wheel spacers too. The rear looks too narrow otherwise.

I am glad you are taking the time to fill us in, it is a great education. Hey, please encourage your friend that is buying the utility, to post his opinion. I know many people in my area who are watching to see what you think of yours. My associates are farmers and outdoors people and are mostly the utility type.
