I'm going with a yellow hub and black rims.. Maybe black rims with a yellow lip on them. Still undecided on some of the fine details yet.
Well, just a little update. My swingarm bearings and axle bearing came yesterday. I had a chance to get my frame in primer this afternoon. Got my front hubs primed, painted yellow and clear coated. Got right side a-arms primed, painted black and clear coated. Tommorrow the frame will be getting painted yellow. I forgot my camera at my apt when i went over to the 'rents house so I'll take some pics tomorrow.
Sounds like its coming along great!! About how many hours to strip all the parts down completely to the frame?
If everything would of went well, maybe four hours. It took me longer though because I had to fight with the swingarm bolt. Not too bad once you get into it.
After a full 8 hours of work today this is where I'm at... I:I
Frame with 2 coats of primer
Rear hubs in primer
