The paint is rustoleum rusty metal primer in red. I just painted the frame in black. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow.

Yeah, I goofed ::). I have to get a smaller one.

I went with the 110/90/18 from what other people wrote on here. So will this tire not fit properly on my rim? I would've gone with a slightly smaller tire (100). But it was hard to find that size.

Did a little mock up of the rear. Chopped the fender and relocated it. Also painted the frame and a bunch of parts. I'll get some pics of that up later. I bought some new tires, and I got a 110/90/18 for the rear, and that is a much bigger tire than the old one. It fits, but barely. Has any...

So wierd, I was just in a Northern tool store looking at LED marker lights thinking it would be cool to use one, but noticed it only had two wires. Now I know what to do. So to answer above question If you have a Nortern Tool near you, you can get them there. Also got another idea for a filter...

Re: Reusing Evapo-rust Cool, thanks.

I was wondewring if you can reuse evapo-rust if you filter out all the impurities? I ask because I just bought two large containers of it to derust my tank, But it just seems like a waste to just throw out so much when I have other parts that need to be cleaned.

Ok, so I started the teardown. Started from the top and working my way down. I drained the oil and there was definatley gas in it. Also the drain plug had some nasty sludge in it. It was grey in color and had the consistency of bearing grease. I ran some of it between my fingers and didnt feel...

I think i'm gonna pass on it. The guy just emailed me back and said he doesnt have the title for it. The search continues.
