Maritime's new GL - 2UP Distance eater

[Maritime]

LOL I did get the dolly made, only I used wood where Brad would have welded steel. It is a little 4 caster job I will put under the front of the 1100 to be able to move it around after I pull the front end off. Got the jack under the front of the 1100 but that was as far as I got. this weekend should allow me to get the front end stripped. checked over and refreshed. I think I am going to paint the lowers though so may be a while before I get the front bolted back up.

if you go in to detail on your painting of the lowers that wud be cool : I hope its as simple as sand prime paint

 

[Maritime]

With Epoxy it is as simple as clean, sand paint. no primer needed with it. But it has to cure for like a week before you go monkey with it 14 days is better.

Got the 1100 front completely stripped. Now I need warm weather to get the triples, lowers etc all painted. I didn't take any pics yet but maybe later. Worked for about 4 hours and forgot phone upstairs and so if I get the energy to go back down there will be pictures.

 

[Maritime]

Some progress pics. This was 4 hours work with gimp leg. The brakes were serviced pretty recent. Fluid was clean and pads are brand new. So a new master and lines and a quick bleed and it will be stoppies lol.

Be careful man... any setbacks this close to the season would suuuuuuck!

 

[Maritime]

Thanks man, I stopped before I pushed to far. My dad in law was being my conscience today. ;D I am going to have it ready to ride this spring, and myself too.

 

[Maritime]

Lower triple in epoxy. Try for upper later. Wire wheeled it, heated it, heated paint, sprayed quick in garage then brought into house to cure.

 

[Maritime]

Lower installed. Upper painted, it's next once paint dries enough. Next is forks apart and lowers clean and paint.

 

[Maritime]

Was able to get away with that much painting without fumes getting upstairs. So I should be able to get a lower each day after I get forks apart. Gotba box coming with fork seals, fork oil, oil filter, new front tire and new cables, I'll swap the ones in the photo and keep the 1-2 ok ones as backup.

 

[Maritime]

For fucks sake I can't post shit today.

 

[Maritime]

Ok the shitty oil from the forks posted. I had to redo the drain bolt by tapping 1 size up and I had pics o the new top tripe
Le and bars and the really scuzzy oil seal but they won't post cause of my shit internet

 

[Maritime]

Let's see if we can post pics today

 

[Maritime]

Yay pics. I got the one leg lower off and all cleaned and ready for paint tiday. Second leg is being a dick about the circlip so I am letting pb blaster work on the rusty shit so I don't break it. Once it's off and clean I can get them painted, should be 10 outside so getting garage up to the 16-18 needed should be doable

 

[Maritime]

Funny thing, right leg oil was almost new so something got in the left leg to make the oil that bad.

Um..Water? :

At some point you rode in the rain and sucked some water in. those are big pumps if submerged, I wonder if you have something directing drainage right down the fork leg.

Yeah water bnt not me riding. These came off a parts bike. I am rebuilding and will put Gators on so shouldn't get water in again

 

[Maritime]

So second lower off, all cleaned and then heated garage and shit the epoxy paint. My foot is now killing me so I had to quit for a bit, but I have all the parts to finish forks and I ordered Gators. Next is front wheel paint, then brakes. I got the exhaust off the 1100 and swapped the hangers to make it fit the 1000. Just need to clean and bolt it up. It's rusty but solid.

 

[Maritime]

Well I shot the paint.

 

[Tune-A-Fish]

It wasn't gonna paint its self
