getting ready to ride

midlifekrisiz · 02-05-2012, 04:09 PM

snugged and lock tight on the nuts that hold the throttle cable position, remove plow & remount fair lead for winch on 150.

drilled and installed grease nipple on rear carrier and adjusted rear brake pedal on 250.

just waiting on new rear sprocket from china and have to grab new rear brake pads for 250 now then we are out there.

midlifekrisiz · 02-05-2012, 04:10 PM

next big purchase will be better rear tires for the 250, new taller front tires & new front shocks for the 150.

Weldangrind · 02-05-2012, 04:36 PM

The sprocket was marked as shipped today.

midlifekrisiz · 02-05-2012, 04:53 PM

woot woot can't wait!

midlifekrisiz · 02-07-2012, 09:00 PM

:( I think the boat is slow

midlifekrisiz · 02-09-2012, 09:00 PM

removed the front shocks from the 150 today and wow no spring back at all and lower bushings shot to hell aaaand back.

checked and had to swap spindle mounts for spare front with original and mounted ( just to see what it would look like) and we definitely want to find a match for it.

loading up old parts and tire and heading to saga saturday with cash

$25 for the matching front tire we need
$100 to upgrade front shocks on 150 from stock pretend nitrogen to the real deal
no price on 250 rears yet but will find out tomorrow

gota love SAGA

midlifekrisiz · 02-11-2012, 07:02 PM

went to that wonderful place that is known here in the lower mainland as SAGA CANADA

tossed $252.00 across the counter and walked out with everything we needed today.

new rears for the 250 sport so I can actually make it through the mud now

plenty of tread left

unbolted one of the hubs from the old rims and they fit in here just have to get proper tapered lugs (so happy I didn't have to do a rim swap)

we actually found an identical match to the one we had for the 150 on a rim ...sweeeet

the shocks that were sold to us are rears but even though I got them into the brackets are way too stiff for this so SAGA is going to swap us for a proper replacement set (not going for the nitrogen ones)

here is the old 150 fronts on the left and new ones on the right

that should give her better traction (no drifting)

here is how it sits now...much better and her frame is off the ground now lol

Sweet! Looks like a very productive trip

. The new rubber has a lot more grip, looking forward to mudding pics!

midlifekrisiz · 02-11-2012, 08:29 PM

just waiting on the mail schooner from china to get here

Jim · 02-11-2012, 10:05 PM

Good find

midlifekrisiz · 02-12-2012, 03:54 PM

$8.00 for lug nuts

puuuurrrrrrdy

come on sprocket!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

MICRider · 02-12-2012, 04:54 PM

I like the aluminum rims and chrome lugs, you be 'stylin! 8)

FastDoc · 02-13-2012, 12:07 AM

Great deal. :P

The tires in the first picture look like clones of ITP Holeshots which have a very effective tread pattern I believe.

Weldangrind · 02-13-2012, 10:52 PM

Great score! I found something similar to those rims (with tires) for a buddy of mine. Where did you find the lug nuts?
