wow coming along nicely....although I hope you're not going to keep those fork boots on it....lol. good luck with the rest of it.

**smyers33** · 09-30-2006, 06:20 PM

Lol... I'll be changing the fork boots... I think I might go with a blue to match the shock. Also I need some opinions....Blue or Black seat?

Lookin Good.....

.... yor almost caught up to me...

Looks great, I hope thats an automotive paint with a hardner. I just hate to see people do such great prep work only to use spray cans that simply do not last when exposed to the elements. For about 125$ you can get a gallon of paint, hardner and reducer and it will be pretty dam tough. Only powdercoating is better.

It is automotive paint with harder and reducer... And it only cost me $87 hehe. I also bought a pint of silver that I have to return. Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Looking good, bet those are fun little trikes.

AHHH...... This is the best feeling I have ever felt. I don't care if it looks like a pos right at the moment. It runs, and man I'm glad. I just through everything on the handle bars, so I'll have to fix that tommarow, mount the shock res., bleed rear brakes, fix the throttle/idle, mount front fender, and I think thats about it. And about the throttle, I started it up, and it just revved extrememly high. I have a lot of play in it, so that's probbably whats wrong. I still need to get the seat covered, and get some new fork boots. But man oh man and I excited!!!!

**smyers33** · 10-04-2006, 07:34 PM

Well got it all together and rode it today. But I have to say I'm not completely satisfied with how it turned out. I still need to get fork boots, and seat covered. I dont know... I'll make the R that I eventually get look ten times better, and not go cheap.

**bp739** · 10-04-2006, 08:57 PM

Man you did'nt waste any time getting that done...It'll be spring till I ride mine...My neighbor just started on my tank, should'nt take to long to get it done....

Anyway...have fun...

**nouseforaname90** · 10-04-2006, 09:01 PM

New fork books, new plastics (if you can get them from Maier?), polish up that shock rezzy, paint the exhaust/pegs/kicker/all the small, simple items.. and it will look 100 times better. You wouldn't imagine how much the little parts make a difference. Putting a freshly powdercoated kicker on my 350X made it look 20 times better than the old looking kicker. It looks like you put alot of work into it, don't let the small things ruin it!

I just bought that front fender, and I plan on restoring my rear fender since a new one is about $200. I was hesistant to paint my foot pegs, skid plates and stuff like that since it's probably just going to get scratched up. I guess I will take your advice and do it. I am going to do all this eventually but I'm not as in a big of a hurry since I can ride now! Thanks for the compliments and help throughout this build.

Just ordered some 18" Holeshots for $117.90 from Rocky Mountain Atv. There were originally 127.90, but they sent me a ten dollar gift card last week in the mail. And I got free UPS ground shipping.

**triker111** · 10-05-2006, 07:12 PM

**aquapunk** · 10-05-2006, 07:34 PM
