Makes a really killer look! I have a friend who is big in long range competitive shooting and he had a custom built gun that every metal component was done in Titanium Nitrite. Even the scope! His sock was a mix of lake Michigan recovered tight-grain maple and engine turned aluminum. He designed the entire gun and it was built by some big shot in the competitive shooting gunsmithing world! He told me he had like $20,000 in the entire gun and matching hard case!
Sad thing is he wound up not being that good at it so now he just shoots for fun! But at least he has a beautiful gun and matching case! It really is an art piece.

Is there any warranty? I remember the early gixxer 1Ks having problems with the coating rubbing off. My gix didn't have that problem, just wondering.

That's what I was thinking - it might rub off / scar with the stantions rubbing on the sliders.
Yamaha forks might be OK, but GS vintage Suzuki forks have a bush right under the fork seal which would more than likely scratch the PC.
Anyway - hope it works out 'cause it looks schweeeet

How is she coming Joe? Have you got any paint on some plastic? Are you going with the CF look? Is the motor in? Are you still trying to make the deadline?
Whats up?
Whats up?
ya buddy we are going, had to give some help to my brother. frame will be powdered tomorrow night, if not this weekend... then i am going to get the motor back in and get a roller at least... plastics are all primed and block sanded... should be good to make my cut off! going to be a race to the finish!!! my brothers wing is coming along awesome as well!
Sled night last night.... and not a good night! (sorry only had my cell for pics i was at my dads house)
My dad is getting ready to leave on a trip this weekend, so I figure i will be a nice guy and rebuild his RX-1 suspension, adjust his clutch, and get him ready to roll.... his sled went great, my trail sled did not! AT ALL!!!!
anyway i repressed all the bearings in my dads suspension, adjusted his clutch and put the suspension back in, then greased it all
his sled done
suspension back in, and adjusting the 2ndary clutch
all done
now the horror that is my sled.... sucks
Sled up and suspension out
brought it inside to work on it.... (each one of those little wheels have a bearing in them that need replaced)
this is why they needed replaced
anvil press gets the old one out and the new one in
new bearing inplace and ready for reinstall
bogey wheels done and suspension greased
while i had it out I also replaced the hifax so that was brand new
an now the BAD... all that went so smooth i decided to see why my speedo has been reading off. I pulled the 2ndary clutch off and just found hell!
the output shaft for the drive was just GONE... i mean chewed to shit!, completely needs replaced
and this is why.... this is the old bearing next to the new one to give you an idea how bad it was
.... so now i need to go out and buy a new drive, pull the exhaust off the sled, tear open the transfer case, remove all the gears, and release the drive spines to pull the drive out... then i need to buy a new drive and put it all back together... needless to say... i am not snowmobiling this weekend! SO PISSED!

Now how come you don't call it a "snow machine" like Sarah Palin's lunkhead husband? Is that an Alaskan thing? When I was growing up in Chicago, people there and in Wisconsin called them snow mobiles. I've heard the term 'sled' used for cars, but not snowmobiles/snow machines. Waz up wit dat?

Sled is a common term down here in the dirty for big long motorcycles that ussually have HD, OCC, Big Dog,ect... on the side! So I have confused some people on here I am sure with that one!

"Stay Thirsty my Friends"
I have always called them Snow Machines... and the act "snowmobiling" but that is just what the guys I go skiing and boarding in the back-country call them.
All my MotoX friends call them "Sleds"
I think it is a regional thing... Oh no I feel a Pop vs Soda debate coming on :
