    The cam is Moose "Real Timber" ATV camo tape. Comes in (4) 4" wide by 60" long rolls. Pretty easy to work with really. I have done a quad in this for the father in law as well. The heat shield is regular paint - the head pipe is high temp paint. The heat guards hold up just fine with regular paint. I've done many in the past this way without any problems.

    It is a Maier Universal fairing for 3 wheelers. They do not make them anymore.

    I'm curious what that front wheel/tire is off of? I guess the rear set are just off of a newer quad?

    That looks awesome! I have 12in rims on the rear and I think it goes alot better than my old BR, its just a little more unstable on the trail.

    I want a front tire setup like that. What size is the rim/tire and bolt pattern?

    The front wheel is the same as the rears - ITP 12" Steel Wheels.

    2 questions - 2 comments

    Is your front tire on backwards?
    Where did you get the stock one? Is it Rick's?

    Love the frame color - good choice.

    No he doesn't ..... they push rather than steer in any more than a couple inches of snow.

    Edit: Now I see your location, I'm guessing that is not an issue.
