Sorry about that. For some reason, that one video is not in my home page any more. Have to find it in history.

When you run out of things to do wrap. Got the outside of the back storage rack finished, front battery top cover, run out of wrap. Got more inbound. Cell phone photos ain't the best, don't look half bad.

About 60 dollars on the 450. Ordered it off e bay. Its 3M material and I use 3m primer before install. Man i'll tell you one thing. Once it sticks with the primer,,,,,,,,,,its stuck......

There is a guy down here that does it for 300. Friend told me about him, but have no idea if it will handle a pressure washer. I have one, 2500 psi, will try it out on her bike not mine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,first.
You know whats going to happen if it don't...>>>

Got the back rest and seat cover in but headed to Calif Monday so going to be a few weeks before I'm back on the ATV. You all be safe.

And the highest place on the bike made for a perfect gun mount. Ordered a Mikes perfect fit hard holster for the Ruger P85 9MM so I'm not worried about a critter as much as I would be if I didn't have it.

And trust me. That hand gun is in there. It kinda locks when you push it down. Takes more than a tug to get it back out of there. Its secure.

They use them a lot around here for hunting. Both my trucks are two wheel drive. Might be changing that very shortly but the two ATV are GF and my way in the woods, and their reach no matter what the surroundings is ,, its about 5 miles min. Have two boats always been into marine something, automatic weather alerts and the antenna in the front does double duty now that someone jogged my memory about the spider webs.

By moving the battery up in the front rack box, and using a Bus to connect all the electronics while standing beside the bike not all up under it, makes life so simple.

Not a total gun nut but like having one. Did the AR thing actually sold that two weeks ago, but I rather have at least a hand gun then nothing. Those clip in holsters lock the gun in place, and remember the L bracket. Made a perfect place for fast access, protected by the wire, and I am not a lets sink this thing and see if it will pull itself out person but its at the highest point on the bike so I'll drown before the gun does.

Alex. Just so you'll know,, the boats,,,,,,,,,,,are Pimped out.

Have a two inch Lift kit, and that Harley, easy rider seat I still need to finish , do a little more wrapping, and mine is done. Mama wanted a front basket and ordered her a light bar ,, she ain't going to let me get that far ahead of her, and mounting her radio on her toy is about all I have left to do. Harley seat is going to be a while, Got to get to the fab shop, they ain't open till Tuesday, i'm out of here that morning early headed to OHIO for a new job so going to have to get a brake and a week day some day, to get to that shop. Thats ain't a right now got to have thing so i'm on the down hill side of this PIMPING OUT the Bikes anyway..........LOL

Luke,


Is the seat cover attached to the seat underneath somehow so it doesn't pop off like a sheet off a mattress?
Also we need to see how you attached the seat backrest...
I've got a few friends at the club that have handgun holsterss mounted on their rides similar to the way you did. Good idea to have it instantly available, I prefer to have mine on my hip so it tags along wherever I go!
