I also enjoy nothing more than modding what ever I own. Who in the world wants a stock anything? Its so much fun personalizing your machine to your needs or likings. I couldnt afford a more powerful quad all at once (i.e. 400EX or Raptor) so I ended up with something different. I was able to purchase an LT250R a few weeks back that I'm totally rebuilding as well, check out the pic in the link. It was in rough shape but it all ready looks like a totally different quad. As soon as its done I'll put up the "after" pic so everyone can see the resurection.
