well with some shitty weather coming and getting colder to work in the garage i said fuck it and tore the entire bike apart in about 2 hours to get everything ready for powdercoat.
Heres a couple pix of the new color, did the frame, swingarm, handlebars in a yellow color that we use to powdercoat some of the Craftsmen mower parts with and send to some other factory to have built. did the triples, motor mounts, brake lever and some other parts to come in a textured black. Haven't gotten the subframe ready for powder yet cuz im trying to shave off as much weight from it as i can before i do but gonna try to do that in the yellow also.
Got a set of brand new white plastics coming for it that should match the headlight and handgaurds perfect, and waitin on steering stem bearings to come in and i can throw it all back together.
id like to do the rims in white but its a pain in the ass to strip the spokes all off and then true them back in but eventually i may it all depends on what i plan to do with the bike and do on, id love 17's and street tires but id need a new swingarm and then id lose my dirt toy. think id rather go with a nice set of really aggresive enduro tires that are more rounded than the sand style tires i have now and it should be much better for circles and such than the ones im runnin now cuz they suck.
more pix to come once i get it back together this weekend.
