I still need to tweak them a little to get them perfectly even but I was by myself without a helper and did the best I could.

Damit man! You beat me to it! :D

They look much better now. I actually ordered a set of short stems that arrived today, and I was planning to put them on next week, since I'm heading up to the mountains this weekend. I made brackets that will mount under the two small bolts on the guage bracket on each side. I considered the location you've used, and if I run into a problem I may use that location.

The stock locations make the signals the ugliest part on the bike, IMO. Graphics aside :lol:


Well done, Zap!

Looks good, that's where the dealer put mine stock on the gy5, but a lot seem to come where your's were... definitely nicer where you put them :)

yea mine came stock like that, my blinkers are also a little smaller and not as bulky.

On my gy5 they were slightly uneven as well, it was always my intention to make them match, but I never got around to it ;)

By the way, the bike looks pretty good like that, definitely customized, the seat cover, sticker, etc... Good work :)

Wal-Mart. You may have to go to a couple. Find one that has an ATV section. Might be able to call and ask around.

They really are hard to find. I had to go to 4 locations, before I put things together and went to the one closest to all the trails.

I could not find the tank bag or seat cover on walmart.com, but alot of the other stuff shows up if you search ATV.

If they have the other ATV accessories at one location chances are they have the seat cover and tank bag too.

I've found geocaches in 155 counties in Texas. I have 99 counties left to visit. I have always kinda been a WalMart junkie (especially the closeout isle) Even most WalMarts will have a geocache hidden somewhere in a parking lot. Closet I have come to an ATV section is a shelf with a couple of helmets, chainlube and the little skull license plate bolts. Most of them have several tires too.

Been to WalMart .com too. Lots of cool stuff for ATV's but not the items I'm looking for. Found the seatcovers at another website for over 40 bucks. I'll keep looking though, like I said, Im a Walmart junkie.

The ATV section is generally in one aisle and covers about 8ft of shelf space top to bottom maybe.

The have the tank bags, helmets, oils, mirrors, etc.

I am surprise that you haven't found them in TX. If someone really wants I can go to my local walmart and buy seat covers and tank bags and ship them.

I have done it for other members here. I may just need to go buy up a bunch and start selling them.

I am going to keep looking for the time being. Also gonna try to get it special ordered in using the UPC and other info you posted.

On another note, There is a Walmart litterly across the street from one of the largest lakes in Tx. When I had my boat there you would be hard pressed to find a simple bilge pump. This was the first "Super Walmart I had been in. The small regular walmart by my house had a large selection of boating items and no lake within 20 miles.

the next time I am down in moundsville I will check their atv section and see if they have any. if they do I'll get em and can just send them to you guys for whatever the cost I pay. BUT don't count on this because I am a procrastinator. But, I'll see what I can do.

Admiting that is the first step to recovery. I never got around to step two.........

as soon as the eagle craps for me which is about a week and a half from now, I will see about the bags.

I finally got around to installing my new signals. They are smaller, but much brighter than stock.
