Only thing going on here is sanding the frame bit by bit and we split the crankcase.
All of my budget really needs to go to the CL. It will be my main means of transportation and with riding season coming to a close I will need to focus on my mobile computer work. Winter is the hardest time of the year here because I actually have to work
A year later and all I've done is polish and rebuild this thing and install these things. Some paint too. The "scratches" are intentional and sealed over. Gotta love that "rust-red" primer.
I even purchased a dedicated hydraulic lift for this build!
I wanted it to be black but I ran out after 4 coats and had heaps of yellow cans so I finished with that. I had to fund the CL for my every day. Then instead I bought a PC and with a total of $1,400 had it fresh all-round including rego. Now I'm paying the attorney so this is the back of the back of back burners.
Yellow. Fuck it everything yellow! I have four cans of yellow! Haha. I had a shot at a chunky baja tank, but the original cleaned up well. Yellow with black scallops. Yeah I said scallops, was anybody expecting this to look decent? Haha. And yes, I'm running these tyres until I see some cracks. Digging some ruts should help that along.
Funny you should say that. At first I wanted to paint up the PC all gay like an 80's jetski, right out of baywatch. It certainly looks like a boat on land.
Unfortunately, the reference would be diluted by the similar paint jobs of crotch rockets of that era.
So I've settled for matte aluminium and a sort of metallic umber. Some day.
Thanks to eyhonda I now have a carby which cleaned up very well with just a few minutes in the ultrasonic. Very usable, but I could have sworn the main jet was included. Good thing I have a few laying around.
I can't believe I'm getting anything done, considering the full garage ???
Took time to blast my parts while working on somebody else's, just while the media was loaded. Afterward filled tank and got a small saturated part. Nothing some Redkote won't heal :
I know about the complaints with Redkote, and I've had to peel somebody else's mistake out of their tank like steamed latex paint. The thing is, every time I've had to do so, there was horrid rust underneath. It's all about the prep.
Many more pieces to blast and paint. Can't prime the tank until it stops urinating on all of my ambitions.
