Well I test rode the kdx quad. Ran excellent, even pulled a wheelie pretty easy. The front wheel bearings, tie rods, and a-arm bushings were too far gone to keep riding. It had massive shake and would dart in directions I didn't care to go.
I got it all stripped down at the moment. Bought a hand held spot blaster and some black oxide to strip the rust and paint off everything. The spot blaster is just a cheap one from Tractor Supply so we'll see how it works. I will get plenty of pics for everyone to see. Headed to the garage to start cleaning everything up.
