    200x Build has begun (IT'S ALIVE!)

    Started at 6:00 tonight and worked until 9:30. I got everything off besides the swingarm and everything connected to it. When i pulled the front forkes off, forgot all about the bearings up in there, so I have to buy bearings for it, or I can spend the rest of my life finding the ones that I dropped. Any good place to buy them? I'll have it down to the frame tommarow night and start cleaning and degreasing. Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have it painted. Here are some pic's of what it looked like when I got it. I'll have pic's posted of my progess. I think it will look pretty good when I am finished. All white plastics, (sending my shrouds to AussieDuner so he can make a mold for the 86 200x) Orange frame and hubs. Hopefully it will turn out like this when I'm done.

    Needing a little help pulling out the axle... I have the sprocket and rotor off, but have no clue of what to do next. I am reading the service manuel, but it's just confusing the hell out of me! Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, I got everything off of her, now time to give a nice degreasing bath. Going to buy some paint, primer, and all that good stuff in the morning. I'm ordering the steering stem bearings tonight, hopefully getting a new axle tommarow, and then order hubs. 300ex hubs fit stock 200x axle correct?

    Today I figured out that cleaning this damn frame is a pain! I'm getting it sandblasted somewhere... This is just aweful. Also got the paints, thanks sykolincoln, the dealer was the best place I've ever dealt with. Just walked in told them what I needed, and bam I was out of there. This is really starting to hit me how big of a process this is, but I know when I'm finished, I'll be happier than this guy right here --->

    Man does that blaster do a worlds of difference. Here's the wee little bit that I got done today, before I added wet sand to the blaster... Lesson learned.
