mmmmk here we go:
1.Will the bell 8inone bike speedometer work? would I need to extend the wire, would the readings be accurate? What wheel would I pput the magnet in?

2.Oh jesus, the front brakes, I wont even bother there unsalvageable [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

3.Any mods for a bayou? Like maybe some type of computer doing something in the "trunk" [I mess with pc's all day, I dont like to leave my spawn [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]]

4.The air filter, Oh My Gawd! the entire plastic compartment is trashed, the hose doesnt connect to the carb right [will fit on but one of the bolt holders snapped off, lol

Sounds like that Bayou needs a total make over!
1. yes a bike speedometer would work, I'd put it on one of the front tires
2. the brakes can be fixed, depending on the problem
3.computer? I doubt it, first few bumps and that thing would be history, and why would you want to?
4.What exactly about the air filtration system is trashed? you could probably rigg up something to make everything work right
5.I'd like to see a few pictures of this bayou, so that we can tell exactly what is broken, and where.

hey, My dad just took it to a welder guy, so the rack and air filter should be fixed tomorrow [the metal piece that the plastic air thing bolts on to was literally torn from the frame] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Ill take some pics when it comes back [I hope it does tomorrow!]

Anyway, I also need a reccomendation on the speedometer, are there better ones that are cheaper then the bell @ walmart?
Really looking for something thats like 20$< and is backlit, looks nice, mebbe the bell has all that, I just saw the box online and it looks like cheap yellow plastic covers all the sides!

Anyway, my mom just bought a new big bear 400 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] that thing roxors!

The Bayou design has changed very little since it was first introduced over 10 years ago. The www.buykawasaki.com website includes detailed parts diagrams for all models in case you need to check how something is supposed to fit together. You can also use it to identify specific part numbers as well.

Good luck.
