figured i'd break out a few before, during and after pics, while im waitin for the motor to get done,(audi's powersports, johnstown pa.) top and bottom end, oil block off, tors going as soon as i break it in,
rest of the bike was completely tore down, every nut, bolt and bearing, cleaned, or replaced if needed, plus a "little" cleaning and painting, thats my son helping me sand the frame, as you can see, it was real nasty when i got it, red mud in places i never imagined, packed up under the tank cover, and the bars where packed full of it ????, this was way more work than i thought, but worth it, comments welcome?? do i stand a chance in the "botm" against a full desert race quad,??, is "botm" about how much money you can spend??? how 'bout most dramatic transformation in 2 months time??
soon to come: 400ex rear shock, works up front, toomey pipe, prm heel gaurds, and would luv some hydro's, but the "diy' on here has my rears workin fine now, new rubbers and rims all around,
ps. thanx "blaster forum" for the links to the free manufacturers decals, they were iceing on the cake, and the tech info i got on here was priceless
2 days old and broke the piston skirt, dec. 22 08, notice all the mud, this is how i bought it
a hell of alot of sandin, got my son to help
frame painted, 3 coats of metallic red, and 4 coats of clear
rollin chassis, finally, late february
plastics just temporary, to decal, then off again for motor install
hurry up motor, its gettin nice out, and i got some buddies to roost
