2006 Apex summper project finished!!!! Pictures

[rangermike14]

Hey guys, I picked up a 2006 Apex ER at the end of last season from the dealer for cheap and have totally gone through the sled. I picked it up for cheap right after they got it on trade knowing it needed some work. It looked like it had been trailered on an open trailer and the front A-arms were rusty and chipped up, hood was chipped up, front bushings shot, track shot, shocks shot...you get the point! Anyway I always wanted an Attak so I thought since I stole the sled I would have my way with this one and make it exactly how I want it! The sled had just under 5,000 miles. After much time and many beers I am done. I had tons of help from different people for parts and what not. A big thanks to Travis from Barn of parts, Pete Amato(both members of this site) for powder coating and many other people. I will list the stuff I've done to it and then post the pics. I can't wait to ride! LET IT SNOW!!!! Any questions fire away!!!! I have tons of pictures if anyone wants pictures of anything.
