Camo US90 Build

[coolpool]

I finally got around to get some pics of progress so far with this build. It started as a disassembled 1973 K1 with a questionable motor. Turns out the motor had a nasty hole in the left case from a chain incident. The PO did some awesome body work on the fenders and tank and had a seat made that is outstanding. That alone was worth the $333.00 I paid for the machine! Shortline10 has built me a 1980 Big Bore 110 (125cc) with a mild cam that I'll be picking up in Florida when I'm down there early Feb. I'm carrying it back as luggage! I chose later model 110 foot pegs and Pro Wedge tires to put on it. I'm going to go with a back rack that came with a bulk purchase of three 90's. This will be a rider and needs some functionality, not to mention protection for the rear fenders ;-). If I absolutely hate it I may, a) chrome it as suggested by Mattdragontamer, or b) install a stock one on it. As for the camo hydro dipping, I'm just as curious as some of you as to how it will hold up. Time will tell. I'll keep adding pics as I go along.

Wow this is turning out really nice . I didn't realize you were using a us90 frame with a fixed front motor mount , the atc110 motor is slightly longer because of the longer stroke and cylinder length . Might need to open up the motor head mount holes a little to shoe horn her in their LOL .

Good to know, thanks! When you say she's a little longer, how many mm's do you think?

[shortline10]

Ill measure the difference tomorrow and report back .

This build will be one for the books i think. It's going to get allot of attention here and at the show and shines.

The difference is 6mm longer on the 110 motor , Lots of meat in the motor head mount so a little from their and she should bolt easily .

very cool start to this project! I actually really like the camo hydro dipping, not a camo guy but that looks neat!

Thanks tri, not white but ivory. It's the same base color as what's under the hydro dipping. To compliment the bone color I guess.

Did you do the hydro dipping yourself and if so, how difficult was it?

I was considering vinyl wrapping my Yamaha but after seeing your project im thinking more about hydro dipping!

No I had it done about an hour from here. The guy did everything for $300.00;, painting, dipping and clear coat. I thought it was a decent price. You Won't paint nothing here for that kind of money unless you're set up to do it yourself. He did say the speed of submerging is key to not have the film stretch out of shape. Probably not too noticeable on camo but if you had the carbon fibre look or skulls or something that needs to be symmetrical, mistakes would pop out.

Sweet build man! Haven't been on the site for a while, must be a nice project seeing as its freezing out in Alberta. It's 10 degrees here in B.C so we're a little better off! Glad the build is goin well, gonna keep and eye on it
