Well looks like I'll be busy sometime this week , since the man in the Brown Truck showed up today :devil: I was surprised to see him pull up today .... I figured it would have been later this week ... but to my surprise he had all my goodies . Not too bad .. I ordered from legacy ATV last Tuesday ... the guy told me they were waiting for the exhausts to come in on either Wednesday or Thursday , then I have this show up today . From NC to Northern Ontario Canada in less than a week ... I'll for sure do business with them again . Splash and Dirt from Quebec told me I would have to wait over a month to get this setup . :rolleyes:
Anyways .... here's a bunch of pics from the things I got today ... and an item I got a few weeks ago .

It is a good reason .... just too bad I'm too broke to afford a case of beer :ermm: LOL
Hopefully it won't be hard to get it jetted correctly . Sparks gives you a sheet with their recommendations so I'll just go by that and see how she runs . I might install it tomorrow .... depends if I'm in the mood or not and if the garage heater is turned on . :)
I think I got a pretty good price on it all .... $575 for the system , filter , adapter and jet kit .
$12.95 for each t-shirt .
Ended up costing me $717 Canadian + $183 for duty and brokerage fee .

Yeah I know . I ended up going to watch some ice racing ( MX style) .... seeing all the quads and having all the guys asking me when I'm gunna be back out there really got me wanting to race . I ended up taking my buddy's raptor for a little spin in the parking lot at the races , which further intensified my craving to be out racing .
So today when I woke up , I said F**k It ... I'm ridding this summer and started walking without crutches ... I know I'll be sore tomorrow but screw it .... Ain't no way I'm gunna be better for the summer unless I push myself .

Thanks Howie .
I am gunna be careful ... but I gotta prove to the doctor that I have enough strength in my leg to be able to drive my car ... which is the main reason I'm pushing myself .He told me I had to prove to him that I'd have enough strength to push the peddles LOL . If I ride this summer , it'll be leasure riding .... nothing big thats for sure .
Also I'm planning on moving out of the house within 2 months , so I need to be able to drive and get back to work . I've kind of said bye to Francesca , but I met myself another real cutie that is really awesome . She's into bikes , quads , camping , fishing , hunting , mudbogging , etc . She's also 5 months older than I am and she's looking for a roomate to share her apartment with cuz her boyfriend split on her 8 months ago . We've hit it off pretty good ... so it's time to leave the nest for me .
Sorry I haven't been on AOL to talk with you ... I got a virus on it and need to download it again . :grr:

Thanks for all the concern guys . The ankle and leg got a bit sore today , but it's cuz I was standing on it for about 5 hours installing parts and stuff .
What a god damn pain in the *** it is to play with the carb on a YFZ . But the Sparks pipe fit perfectly . Now I gotta put the airfilter adapter on ( gotta find longer bolts or good rivets ) and fire it up . Hopefully it'll start and not blow up . Playing with the buttom of the carb , the pin holding the floats came out then a little torpedo looking thing fell .... then I cursed and got confused and cursed some more thinking I broke soemthing . After realizing how it went ... I reassembled and called it quits for the night .... leg and ankle are too sore .

Alright , so I hauled my butt out of bed this morning at around 11:30 :p and went back out there to finish up where we left off lastnight . My dad got the adapter on for me ( what a nice guy he is :D ) then we fastened everything up . Turn the gas on .... turn the key on .... a few pumps of the throttle ... add some choke ... and press the magic button . Here I am thinking it's gunna be hard to start this baby ... but she fired right up . Nice rumble at idle and let it warm up for a few minutes . Open up the garage door .. push it out , cuz dad wants to see how see sounds with more throttle .
Next thing I know he's moving the car out of the way ... jumping on the bike ( no tank cover , no seat , no shrouds) and blasting up the road lifting the wheels in every gear . What a sight to see ... a 56 year old man with a huge smile on his face . Also this thing has a NICE sound when you get it up in the higher RPMs .... it's not overly loud . Now I have to wait on the insurance to come through and pay my plastics and I'll be slapping on the graphics kit . :devil:
Anyways ... here's a few pictures I took ....It didn't take long for the headpipe to turn blue/purple/gold.

I'm very impressed with Legacy in all aspects ... customer service , prices , shipment . I'm not sure if I paid a standard package price for my stuff ... but for $575 I got a full system exhaust , jet kit , filter and adapter plate . Anyone know if this was a good deal or just their regular package price ?? To me it was a great deal , compared to what the companies up here in Canada have to offer . Legacy will be getting my business in the future when parts are needed . Treat a customer right and they will return . :D
