Want to know another money saving hop-up. You know how wide aftermarket footpegs cost a fortune. I bought a factory set of footpegs for my raptor for 10 dollars, used a bandsaw to cut the mounting bracket right in front of the weld, cut notches out of the bottom of the pegs for the mounting of the heel guard bracket and used the factory bolts for the guard to bolt them together now their wider than aftermarket for 10 bucks and about a half-hour of time!

Default cheap speedo for sport quads!

Did someone say speedo?

Paul, a guy on the local beach just couldn't make it with any of the girls, so he heads over to the lifeguard tower to see if the lifeguard has any advice for him.

"Dude, it's obvious," says the lifeguard, "you're wearing them baggy old swimming trunks that make you look like an old geezer. They're years outta style. Your best bet is to grab yourself a pair of Spandex Speedos - about two sizes too small - and drop a fist-sized potato down inside 'em. I'm tellin you man...you'll have all the babes you want!"

The following weekend, Paul hits the beach with his spanking new tight Speedos, and his fist-sized potato and ...for cryin' out loud! - it's worse than before! Everybody on the beach acts disgusted as he walks by, covering their faces, turning away, laughing, looking sick! So Paul goes back to the lifeguard again and asks him, "What's wrong now?"

"Jeez!" says the lifeguard, "you were supposed to put the potato down the front of the Speedos!"

I've done this same exact cheap mod to two of my other quads in the past with great success. I think the last one cost me 12 bucks. After you get the wheel circumference correct(just use a thin metric measuring tape around the tire and plug in the number) the things are pretty accurate. I've tweaked them a few times by having a buddy with a speedometer to compare too. One con is when your tires wear down the speedo would say you were going a little faster than you actually are(So it lies about your top speed for you!). You could actually reprogram it again if you really wanted to. One other thing is the wiring that come with the bike speedos can be kind of short.

P.S. I prefer to use a banana in my speedo when walking down the beach.
