The color code is secret but the formula is:
1 part ground kawasaki,
2 parts suzuki head(shaved),
1 oz. hodaka road toad skin,
and a dash of pure evil. mix well and ride hard!

This is a good match to the OEM finish, the GM satin black

I had it all apart anyway, and pressed all the bearings out, then put the cases and covers, jug and head all in my blasting cabinet 8-). $100 harbor freight!!

here is a pic from when I was in the middle of my AFC
its a little dirty. I painted it all with a silver engine enamel which was a mistake since the fuel broke it down, but it still looks good

silver has to have clear coat over it, look for satin or semi gloss

I found a really nice paint that I used on my YSR frame and motor that is a "cast aluminum" color and seems to hold up a lot better.

hellz yeah, that thing gets ridden all the time around the yard, my 3 yo boy loves to go for rides on it!
I love the low range too, could pull a tree stump with that low gearing.

yup, i've checked them out. tons of goodies. for right now the atc doesn't get any $$$, it runs tits stock and I want to try to get the wife to ride it
I want to get her into riding, and I figure thats a good start
