Not seeing the "eliteness" here compared to the other elites. Kinda plain imo. Good luck tho
 
H8er's gunna hate. 2K needs to man up and tear into that engine of his, he could get a vote in the near future if he wanted to.
 
I only see 1 or 2 differences in Sparky's quad than some of the other already elite ones and those 2 things are just the swing arm and carrier but those are made up with all the custom mods which imo are far better than easy peasy bolt on crap

Agreed! but it dosent have the bling bling everyone thinks makes a quad elite. Thats the one thing That really pisses me off. its function over looks anyday for me. ride it dont shine it!!!!
 
Being elite is having the whole package just not part of it, You can still ride and have it look good. And once you tear into a stock motor you start losing a little reliability. Looking at the list there are only a couple "custom" items that require any brain power to do. I am just saying "elite" should consist of stand out quads. I have no desire to be elite nor hating on sparky, I just spoke my opinion like everyone else has the right to do.

^^^Goin with this mans opinion here... Being elite in my eyes is a complete resto like Pats doin.
 
With the amount of parts you put into a bike to make it elite you pretty much have to do a resto don't you? The only thing he hasn't done is change out the swinger and carrier. The entire bike has been pulled apart. He has even painted the frame. Sounds like a resto to me.

I think everyone has there idea of "Elite", and that is fine. I never started this build to get this title. I wanted a powerful bike with great power characteristics. I have bought, traded, gave away, and taken input from others that have more time around this powerplant. I know mechanics and theories, and tried to put them to use, in hopes someone else might like the idea and use it.
I'm not a powdercoater or really care about mine looking perfect. But I for sure appriciate the value of that.
I appriciate the friends and brothers that have helped me this far, and hope in time I can return the favors.
I am still looking at other ideas I have about different changes to it, so if I can't make it now no big deal I'll try in the future.
Thanks again!
If you have any ideas, sugestions, questions, be sure and PM me. I'll pass on any information I have.

I agree sparky! Im building mine for me and to take the abuse I put on it needs to be elite in my eyes! I dont think a full off the frame build makes them elite! Its what you make it! And if you look at the elite warriors now not all of them have been full restores! Your Warrior is elite and I vote YES! Good Luck Bro!
