    Talking Teachin' 'em right

    Went for a ride yesterday, got a little muddy. Here's my pit crew at work...and pics of my never-before-seen Tecate.


    Hope ya'll don't rag me about my tank. When I bought it it had one of those green vinyl covers on it and I didn't like it so I took it to a guy that covers atvs with camo and had him camo the tank. I think it turned out quite nice. Rest assured, I'm not going to camo the fenders.

    whats the tank cover made of? is it a laminate or an actual cover? also what kinda silencer is that on there? nice t3 by the way.
    1985 KXT 250 Tecate - kx cylinder, kx ignition, bassani headpipe, answer silencer, v-force reeds, 38mm airstyker carb, +2 franks swinger, raptor rear shock.

    1996 YSF240 Blaster - maxxed out!!!

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"

    The camo tank cover is a vinyl sticky paper that this guy printed the pattern on and then used some 3M plastic primer stuff, a heat gun and two of his buddies to stretch and adhere this stuff to the tank. Guy said it wouldn't come off. The same guy that did my tank does all the camo for the 4x4 atvs sold by a Honda dealer here in town. I like the way it turned out.

    The silencer is a DG Type II with a Cobra Sparky on it. It's too loud for my taste. But I'm unwilling to plunk down $110+ right now to try something else. What silencer are you using? Is it quiet? Ever heard a FMF turbine core2 universal silencer on anything? Are they quite?
