This is my sons '86 Honda Fourtraxx 70 that I completely rebuilt for him. I got it for Christmas brand new when I was 5 years old and rode the **** out of it until I was too big for it. It sat in my parents damp basement for years until I pulled it out and rebuilt it and gave it to my son for Christmas when he turned 5 years old. It still starts on the first pull!!...RIDE RED!!!

 

Man, it looks new! That`s awsome!

Looks good, man. When I was younger, we used to have one too. We rode it like crazy. Unfortunately somebody stole it.

Y2daT - I was wondering if you knoew about this site: http://dratv.com/trx70parts.html


It has everything you need for the rebuild. And in my past life I owned a sign shop so I re-did all the graphics just like OEM from the factory. So if you need them I could hook you up. I had my buddy who works in a bodyshop re-paint all the plastics with this special proccess he uses for plastic. I painted the rims and frame myself (spray bomb)

Heres what it looked like on the big day...I also have some pics of the rebuild if anyone is interested. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I doubt i'd get his quad looking that good,but im interested in the fender paint ,my front /rear plastics dont match on my 250x ,and I want to paint them black...but i dont want the paint coming off every time i hit a branch or briar,advice on what kind of paint to use and proccess would be very helpfull....and thanx for the link, i saved it as it will come in very handy ..and my uncle 1uped me my buying him a Bnew looking honda crf 50 dirt bike that he brought home yesterday
