I am not kidding.......they shot it with bedliner. When I get to it this is going to be a tracker build.
Jake73's build thread is a great inspiration. The brown honda he posted as part of his inspiration is the same one I have been drooling about as well.
Plans are to strip it down, cut crap off the frame. Colors at this point? I have been thinking dark brown frame with an offwhite/cream tank. My color choice will change a few thousand times before I get to it.
Well, I spent the last half hour taking the rhino lining off the VIN tag so i could get the number. This bike came with no title or anything. Going to do a VIN check at the DMV tomorrow. I answered my own question about if Motorsport is the same as an XL. I am new to dirt bikes.
Took some things off. Wire harness is toast. All cables and pretty much everything was blasted with the bed liner.
Wow, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the bed-liner on the bike. I'm with Kev Nemo though, if you haven't already make sure it is mechanically sound and everything before you go ripping it apart.
Anyhow, good luck with the project. I'm a big fan of the trackers that people are building on this site!
Is it wrong, that I'm now craving a XL250-500 tastefully fortified with bed-liner? That sounds like a perfect dual-sport rig to bomb around the National Forest roads here.
Interesting..... My old GS1100E was also sprayed with rhino liner.
But it peeled right off.
The finished product (after 4 months). But it only took one whole day to peel off the rhino liner. Yes, that is the original paint under all of that rhino liner. I only repainted the right side cover and front fender.
Wow, Noobzooki, that's amazing! I wouldn't have thought the paint was as salvageable as it appears to be. Was it as easy to get the red off that back rim?

Getting the red off of the rims was easy. I used Tal-strip that comes in a rattlecan. I have a build thread here on DTT in Restorations. Look for a thread titled 1983 Suzuki GS1100E or something like that.
No worries......I can't believe someone else had the same issue with bed liner. I have it all over the front of the frame as well and is not coming off. I didn't want to spend money on having the frame media blasted but I may have to go down that route.
