nboldmans 02' rebuild!

[2smoker85]

Just a bore and hone. I didnt have the extra money to get any porting done or anything else dine, but next tax time, youll bet there will be a porting job, flywheel lightening, possibly a new crank. I:I

i wouldve had the bore and hone done locally, but i talked to 3 different guys and ask about chamfering the ports and got the what are you talking about look so i picked my stuff up and left. The dealr wanted 120 to get it done and keb was still cheaper so thats where it went.

i have done the same thing with the dealers man and ken was cheaper everytime, its kinda sh*tty because u dont get to build that local relationship with a local business where u used to be able to go in there and if ur a big customer and always buy their stuff they would fix it for little to nothing, like if i have any problems with my 600rr that i cant diagnose my local shop will alway pick up the phone and doesnt charge me a dime, plus one of my buddies works there, it helps I:I

Still trying to figure out my spark issue,but i bolted up my plastics for a "Mock UP" photo. Still contemplating painting the white hood, its in great condition and i dont want to ruin it!

 

[Triple_B]

Looking good man!

 

[2smoker85]

lookin good, i wouldnt paint the hood, itll just chip and cause problems, blue and white go good together, but i would paint the shocks to match!!

Thannks guys, got some work done today. Found out my spark issue. Buying a new stator tomorrow. Only thing i really did today was bolt on the front bumper and the freshly oiled uni. Also put the first stickers on it as well. lol

edit:Also got the front brakes all hooked up

Thanks speedy. I lost the little washer to the nut and the bolt kept pulling through the filter, so what i did was broke out the plasma cutter and cut that piece. It worked so i left it
