Thanks awk. I really like this color. Unfortunately there is so much overspray I went through 2 pints of paint.

lol overspray happens AJ...it looks fantastic though. Remember, I have 3 colors I will be powdering saturday..so if needs anything done, I should be able to have it all done in about 30 minutes, powdered and ready to go home with you.

Likin the color, now that build will start to move. I think your going to maike your timeline.

Thanks for the compliments guys. It is curing right now. Yamaha28, to answer your question, i used a spray gun.

I'm curious to see how this color will look like dressed up. Looking at the frame alone makes you think "holy s*** that's blue!"

Good news, got my reed spacer in and the carb does fit now. I was a little worried it would still hit the clutch arm even with the spacer.

Here's my progress for today.

I figured out the fitment of my trx450r rear shock is scary tight. There are only thousandths of an inch between the frame and the rezzie. Might be that honda made slight changes between the '04-'07 shocks and the '08-present shocks? Mine is off an '09.



Got the motor in and the rear end together before I had to leave.

I am going to check out the bars tomorrow because I know awk and slick had troubles with their fat bars and the mounting of the brakes. Hopefully I won't have to cut my throttle housing but we'll see.

If you don't have at least 9" from bar end to bend, you will be trimming!
