I acquired this fine machine along with a few other bikes a few months ago.

The aim was to keep the bike basically the same but change a few parts around, and not spend any money, using parts I already had.

I had an 84 quad a while back,and so thought I would use some of the parts off that and also stuff that had never been used on any other bike.

Firstly, Renthal copies were fitted, so I thought put REAL Renthals on!, I had some that I had not used on anything...............

Grips were ame tri new font, swapped out for og Mushis that were on the old Quad.

Stem was a nice Tuf Neck Ace, bit late for the bike, so I had a nice SR Aerox, these were fitted to stock Quads, right colour n all.

Headset was a Neco I think, recent manufacture, I had a Hatta speedline doing nothing so.........

Chainwheel was a sugino,nice but wanted to change it, so Mirage powerdisk,and pro neck ringpiece off the old Quad.

And of course, full SE camo flite padset, as on the Ripper.

Will change a few more small parts, chain, cable, brake pads, maybe tyres and add a plate, that's all for now folks!

Thanks for looking!

I can't help thinking that the dark destroyer sounds like an aid you'd buy from an adult shop...
