    How did you clock the petcock? Is there some easy way of doing that or is it more of a denial and error thing? Will it use the stock o ring?
    I power-tapped it close and then fine tuned by hand to get it right

    It uses the stock o-ring. I made the flange an exact copy of the OEM unit for that reason

    I like how your seat came out.

    You should see the abortion I performed on the old 350 cover.

    No I haven't seen your tank yet but I have seen Mr. Cleans work so I have no doubt It's top notch. And give yourself some credit, you're doing a great job, I really am looking forward to seeing the finished product. This thing was beat and left for dead when I found it so good job on keeping another one alive.

    I only got a little done yesterday. This radiator grill frame was cracked as they sometimes are so I dropped some weld across the crack carefully. Ignore the ugly bead, as our Tig machine is in another building being used currently so I used the mig machine which is hard to get adjusted right when the crack was only 1/4 inch long.





    Grind and grind some more....



    Ready for paint. More to come later. I couldn't inspect the frame for cracks until I got it completely stripped and we only have a blast cabinet at work that won't hold larger items so I bought a portable media blaster from Harbor Freight for $35 bux and I'm headed to Tractor Supply for some coal sand. Media blasting is not cheap around here as they want almost $100 to blast my frame. I need to reign in my spending a bit on this one so I may even paint my own frame pending quotes on materials and paint.

    Jam out with your clam out.

    Yeah it's all your fault, Mike.

    You used your powerful persuasion skills and talked me into running one on a relatively stock motor just to see what happens.

    Your going to have to shoot for the moon and then some to top that pipe. And your repair job on that swingarm is top notch, going to turn into a really cool build.

    One year you will need to come to the Invasion and watch Kenny tune a 250r after installing one of his pipes. His words, "keep it simple".

    Just did it at the Invasion in February, slapped the pipe on a stock motor, cleaned my stock carb, needle in the stock setup and 1.5 turns on the air fuel and rode it all week with no further adjustments.

    Ok I've been waiting on parts to come in so I was blasting what I have that needs it and painting stuff.





    I shot the rear hubs...



    So then, this came in the mail. $35 for an 86 TRX 250R front master with "leaky sight glass"... Normally, I'd keep looking but once I learned you could get new sight glasses for cheap ($10 shipped) I'd been waiting for an opportunity to try to replace one.



    I dug out the old plastic, picked out the o-ring, and popped the outer ring out of the master.....





    Once I got the remnants out, I started cleaning the window hole...







    I like my masters in natural aluminum finish so I dipped in acetone to clean the goo out and to lift the paint that the leaking brake fluid didn't already peel...

    Scrub a dub dub my master in a tub



    New sight window and oring....Also came with two extra lid screws for some reason



    Cleaned all the corrosion out and it's like a whole new master. Dropped in the new o-ring. Took the sight glass and pressed it into the master using a .750 piece of round stock in our little arbor press.





    Booyah! Everything else guts-wise was in good shape but I'll be getting a rebuild kit anyway. The lever wasnt even floppy yet.

    $35 shipped for master
    $10.50 shipped for sight glass
    $40 roughly for a rebuild kit

    So I'll have a new master for a little over $85 and probably never have to touch it again for as long as I have the trike.
