I used a cutting wheel

I broke mine onmy 87 and ended up useing tension exhaust springs instead. Works perfectly

NIce Quads!

Good, glad to hear that. I am doing nothing but shifting and I have instant torque but it winds out so fast I can't even pull the front end up at all. I hate it. LOL! I have never felt the power of a Warrior until I recently finished my 96' and then I started wondering why my 87' was so slow...

Got three of the quads out yesterday and was messing with the carbs. The Blue 87 Warrior and the Lakota had been sitting for over 3 years and had NASTY Carburators. They are fighting me trying to get them running smooth again. I think I will have to soak them to get them cleaned out again. I...

Very clean. I love fox's. I had two of them and then a couple SN95's. My first was a 84' SVO 2a. Loved that car.

Oh yea, I love my 87'... We can help :-)

Got it all together yesterday. Boy that rear end took a lot of effort. The Swing Arm DID NOT want to go together very easily (Old Used Parts). Putting that 400EX rear shock on there was a good bit of aluminum removal which I never have good time doing cause aluminum ruin's blades and...

I like 20". I have 18" on the rear of my 87' and I drag my rear end everywhere and it feels too low

So I got my new swing arm bearings in the mail. I proceeded to take my Dremel and clean out what I thought was just built up rust keeping my bearing from seating properly. After ruining another bearing and trying to grind more material out of the tube I realized that the outer ring of the old...

It's a Lakota, but the same thing. It's my wife's ride. She likes it cause it doesn't need a clutch. It's really been the best Quad I've owned. Always starts right up

i just did this. I used wire wheel and sand blaster to clean mine

Thank you, I took a lot of time and scrapped all the paint off and cleaned and cleaned and wire brushed and wiped with Denatured alcohol and then painted in layers. I am hoping it sticks well. But I knew that I really wanted to focus on the frame because EVERYTHING else can be removed and...

Yea, I agree. I didn't take the time to sand it all because of the multiple coats of paint. Maybe later I will go back and sand them back down and do it properly. I didn't really intend to keep this set of plastic due to the multiple layers. I would rather find a clean set of plastics and paint...

After looking at these supersized pics, the plastics looks even worse than I thought in person. I've got to get some new plastic soon, that old stuff just has so many layers of paint that were never prepped and just sprayed on. Some came off really easy and some stayed. Painting it just...
