Well i took her to the Dunes this weekend! And boy does it get the looks! gets around pretty good too! I rebadged her with one off Honda Decals i made (We're Honda guys! ) I think she cleaned up rather nice... Total investment so far .. Attex $800, Tags and Reg $170 (includes past due fees), Seat $40, Flex Hose $6, Tires.. Free!!! , antenna mount $5 .. Total $1021.00

That red stripe really made it unique. Good job!

A 6 wheeler on the dunes looks like soooooo much fun! Have any video footage of it?

[savage 40]

No videos this trip... But we will next trip!

That red stripe really made it unique. Good job!

Honda called the four wheelers "fourtrax" so I made this a "sixtrax"... It kinda seem to fit!

Wish I could have made it out there - this is if you were out at Glamis w/ WFO. I think I have a better muffler on it's way.

We go to Sand Mountain Nevada.... I think I'm gonna build a small trailer to haul my atc70 from camp out to the hill.... Nothing like showing off a little!!! What muffler you have coming?

Okay, that's a bit far - maybe 10 hrs from San Diego. I ordered some generic atv muffler off ebay for $46 including shipping and got it today. It looks like it matches up pretty well, just have to mount to my modified rotax pipe and try it.

so whats a little drive? Load it up!!! I need to find a better solution to the leaky flex pipe.. I got a new one and it still leaks.. I'm thinking I need Band style exhaust clamps..

There's a short snippet of the Attex on the sand.. at the end of this video (5:40 in the video) I'm having a roll cage build by a buddy of mine.. should be done this week..

[Duke]

looks like you guys are having fun out there I really like what you have done with the ATTEX cant wait to see what the roll bar looks like.

The left stick when pulled back was a slight bit farther back than the right stick (like an 1") , but equal in forward throw.. so I adjusted the left upper plunger bolt at the T20.. is this okay and the correct way to align the stick?

Well I got my Fuel pump rebuilt.... two words come to mind...HAUL ASS! yes now I know why they say the Superchief is fast! Before.. it was always running very rich and at times run good.. but after the fire and realizing the fuel pump diaphram had a leak in the engine side it seems as though it may have been pulling gas from there into the engine.. So I asked George a few carb questions and he in turn referred m to Don.. he gave me a few tips to look for to determine how it's running (if it's too lean) .. so yesterday I drove it up and down the side of the street in front of the house ... no more oily mess at the flex hose, and no more smoke trail, and runs like a raped ape! The choke doesn't seem to function though so I'm gonna look into that..I had to prime it to start it... as soon as I get my new Zipper tires mounted I will show it off complete wit new roll bar... Before I had intentions of selling it but this is way to much fun to drive, and besides I needed something I could get muddy since my quads only see sand.. George is hooking me up with some needed parts and I'm returning the favor
