We finally found the rare 1989 Suzuki lt500r quadracer "quadzilla". In this video I introduce you to our newest addition to the collection. Let's look this bike over together and talk about what it needs and my plans for it.

It was me... I'm the other youtuber 😂 Great meeting you and getting some ripping in man! I'll upload the ride on the extra channel soon 🤘

[@garagemcmatt]

Thank you and your welcome anytime bro. I'm looking forward to seeing the ride footage

[@reggiexp69]

ohhh cool seeing you here :)

[@dubiousf00d]

I've had an 88 zilla for almost 20 yrs now. Favorite quad of all time.

[@garagemcmatt]

Nice bro that's cool

[@mangog6710]

Ok thank you

[@roonytavares1]

500!!!!!! Good stuff Matt

[@garagemcmatt]

Thanks bro I'm excited to share it with everyone

[@impatient24]

I have an 87. In case you didn't know, and Panthera did not inform me before I purchased the kit. You will have to cut the frame to install the battery box. Also after the flywheel cover is installed your OEM shift lever will not clear the cover. I heated and bent mine to allow for the almost 1" difference in covers. Other than that it's a great investment. A little salty at $2k after all is said and done but well worth it to me. Good luck.

[@garagemcmatt]

I did a bunch of research on the kit. I'm talking to a machinist buddy of mine to see if we can come up with something

[@paulbudford]

Lovely bike. A few things to do. Just how you like them. 👍

[@garagemcmatt]

Yes sir that is my preference

[@867diesel]

[@garagemcmatt]

Just going to do some upgrades for now and enjoy it a Lil bit. I'll keep collecting parts till the winter then fully dig into it

[@mikewisher4083]

Hate to hear about 250 but damn man nice 500 . Waiting patiently for 330 👍🤟

[@garagemcmatt]

I'm on it this week bro. Half the video is filmed

[@johnbruzzi4381]

But I do use ebc or dp pads usually. I have dp sponsorship so. I would send that shock out and get it perfect, I use impact solutions, it was a game changer for me this season.

[@garagemcmatt]

There is a good company that does shocks by me. I just want to rebuild one myself

[@johnbruzzi4381]

@@garagemcmatt impact solutions is in Ohio. They do the number 1 xc guy and number 1 mx guy

[@johnbruzzi4381]

I would love for you to come do GNCC with me. There is a guy running a 500 in the sportsman class. Or run the trx250

[@garagemcmatt]

I think about it here and there

Thanks bro

Oh my god you got rid of your baby holy shit bro, that’s cool about the new bike though!

[@garagemcmatt]

I know bro I'm still missing it

[@feracopictures9322]

@@garagemcmatt you should of never sold it bro, I never dove one before, that thing you got now I’m not sure even if I want to sit on it, it prob start up itself and have his way with me hahaha!

[@johnbruzzi4381]

What u do for the nitrogen in the shock. Honestly some of those cheap brake pads are actually not bad. I've blown right through OEM and tried niche front pads and they are actually good.

[@garagemcmatt]

They definitely do work. I'm just keeping it in the back of my mind to get the ebc pads I like to use. Nitrogen I will take and have charged at my local bike shop

[@Itsjake908]

Will you post the ride you had together with Mike Sabo?

[@garagemcmatt]

Mike had his go pro running. He might post it on his extra channel. I didn't film we just wanted to enjoy some bikes

[@mangog6710]

Can you convert a Honda TRX 450 kickstart to a electric star?

[@garagemcmatt]

I believe the crank is different. I'm sure u could if you changed enough parts but might not be worth doing

[@BostonBanshee]

I sold my lt500r for a lt250r lol

[@garagemcmatt]

Lol it happens bro

[@reggiexp69]

so you sold one lt500 and got a other lt500? for cheaper i guess? that is a good deal :)

[@garagemcmatt]

No I sold my lt250r and bought this lt500r

[@reggiexp69]

@@garagemcmatt ohhh my bad i didnt understand that :) then its NICE

[@garagemcmatt]

@@reggiexp69 lol all good bro. I do miss my 250 tho

[@reggiexp69]

@@garagemcmatt aahhh its always hard to let go something. but you got what you wanted for it like you said :) and got a lt500 now so its a upgrade :) to a mytical quad. hope to see some video on it, on how the build goes and see it in its final shape and maybe a riding video :)

[@garagemcmatt]

@@reggiexp69 I'll have some riding videos on it soon. I gotta fix the rear shock first. It's not safe to ride it that way. I just got the parts in today
