Ghetto Mods for a Chinese Quad

Original unmodified Yamoto 150...

The cat's-eye lights look decent enough but do not provide enough illumination. The quad had a wreck with a half-done barb wire fence and the wire was just high enough to clear the low bumper, snap the front body mount, snap both fender mounts, and bust both light mounts. It took an entire night to get the body back together and bend the mounting brackets back into place. The weakest point was the main foward body mount located under the air box. Basically the front wall of the air box broke off along with the plastic tab used to bolt the body to the chassis. I ended up cutting a reinforcement plate from 1/8" T6 Aluminum to fix the wall...

This provided a nice mount for some blue halogen driving lights ($19.99 from AutoZone):

OH, and Yes, they will light and entire street up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Also,if you look back at the original picture (Click for image) and back at the 3 light pictures you can see the bumper has been raised 3". I would recommend doing this since the bottom of the bumper will scrap anything higher than curb height. To do this just unbolt it, stick it in a vice, and bend the brackets down about 3". Also notice I removed the stupid plate that was in the center of the bumper. It made the quad look like a dam transformer or something.
I'll be installing a K&N intake under the seat soon as I can get my hands on a conical filter the size I wanted. I'll post that here later.
