    im sending the frame to the powdercoater (Black with a 50% gloss). Then im sending the bars to get chromed. Im getting all new white maier fenders for christmas including tanks scoops ( white too), new spyder grips, and a renthal bar pad. As soon as I sell my 200s's i will buy a smooth buff front tire and for the rear it is going to be 22x11x8 8 paddle extreme haulers. Then im done and off to florence!!!

    Forgot to mention that the seat cover is going to be hand covered by my aunt. The color is going to be black!

    Jenn I was working in Momouth all summer, drove by there everyday, I also worked on that North Mall building down by the capitol building. So Salem was like my second home for the last couple of years.lol $240.00 Yikes, yeah you could of talked him down to $150.00 just takes a while.lol I've sent him some busseness though. I tried a powdercoater in Hubard one time, that guy is good, If I was going to do a show bike it would go to him.

    There was a shop in Aumsville?????? Well crud that used to be 5 min away. Didnt know about that one. Look forward to meeting you on the dunes! And good luck with your project. Thats weird you all got such high prices, he quoted me cheap right up front. I wonder if we are talkin same guy, metal pole building, Chroming place right in front? Right around corner as your leaving Salem? Had a gorgeous multi color banshee frame on the shelve.

    Everything came apart pretty easily but i did break 2 bolts that i will need to replace. The first one was the top by the motor mounts that holds the skid plate on. It broke inside the frame! opps! The other one i got out. I have a couple of questions to ask. Where and how much are motor bushings! I also need everything inside the neck of the frame ( bearings etc). One more question. Before it was taken apart the lights wouldnt come on with the engine running. I tested everything and there was no electricity coming out of the voltage regulator. Is there supposed to be elctricity coming out of it??
