Motor swap!!!! Ninja ex500

[fmxr47]

ok guys, since im putting a ninja 500 motor in this thing, what should my color scheme be, i was thinking gloss black on every metal piece and neon green for the plastics and get some ninja decals on the tank, and possibly a neon green tail piece with the seat from a ninja, what do you guys think? ive seen guys put gsxr seats on a quad with a motor swap, i think it would look pretty sweet!

i was thinking black plastics and a green powdercoated frame and green grab bar and bumper and if possible neon green lights I:I and idk, just find a pretty cool seat to go with it

 

[fmxr47]

nah, but thx fro the idea, i just know for sure i want all black chassis and wheels whenever i order some

ok, so im in the middle of putting the motor in right now but the motor was taller than i expected, so i have some serious frame modifications to do and i will have to make up my own gas tank, but once i modify the frame more and get it mounted(hopefully by sunday) the easiest part will be to get it running.

make it black and green deffinately , bet colors

 

[fmxr47]

well, i had to modify the frame so much that im gonna make my own body for the quad, cause i cant mount any of the front facia the same any more, but i got the motor to fit in the frame, tomorrow i will be making the motor mounts hopefully.

if you decide to scrap teh project, let me know and ill buy those a-arms and front shocks off of you.

 

[Stryder917]

damn guy.. you got some serious frame mods to do haha... i never recalled those motors being as high as that one is... but then again you are putting it in a relatively small frame... so yeah..

keep us posted how its going

 

[fmxr47]

oh, im not scrapping the project, negativity is motivation for me, but my dad said he will try and work on it for me this week while im up north @ college but im done on thursday everyweek, so i get a few days to work on it every week.

If extreme modification were simple with no bumps in the road, then everyone would be doing it!!! FMXR, It'll work great, a little fabrication and brain thinking, and itll be worth it.
