Rebuild on the "FREE SHEE"

[OConnor Racing]

“O” ring head gaskets are “sketchy”? Who told you that? There are plenty of MX bikes that have been running them for years without problems. Given a choice between a stamped steel gasket and O rings, I’ll take the O rings any day. They won’t leak or be problematic if they’re installed correctly and are of good quality. As for a milled, re-designed stock head………………………I don’t see it as being a viable option for a modified engine. Good choice Mike. Where are my pistons? Porting is almost done.

Well I didn't buy the cool head it was already on the motor. I have read nothing but good things about them. I will be cutting the fenders soon, just want to tape off a cool design.

Hey ken. Thracking number says the pistons were delivered today. I hope you got them.

I decided to mod the clutch cover before I put it on. I have everything mocked up I'm just waiting on my 1/16 rubber gasket material. I used 1/2 inch lexan. Turned out pretty good. I will get some better pics soon.

I have them......................

 

[Wifesblaster]

Haha. You had me a little worried, I left a message on your phone! I was getting ready to call fed ex. Good deal. Thanks.

Clutch cover is done and mocked up. Just need to put some clear RTV sealant in there and it's a wrap.

Looks good.Nice job.

Looks good.Nice job.

Thanks. I should be making some progress next week. Cylinders should be back, bottom end done, and carbs and intake will be here. I just ordered a carb sync tool, billet water pump cover, chain and sprocket kit, billet gas cap, clutch cable, and a rockstar handle bar kit.

So we decided to cut the fenders tonight. A couple beers, tape, jigsaw, and torch were the tools used. Notice the first tool on the list! I like the way they turned out. Also put the case saver on and cut some material out of the stator cover for clearance. What do you think of the fenders? I could have cut them like everybody else does or bought some full bores, but where is the fun in that. I will be getting smaller lights soon so the front fenders will look a lot better then.

I woulda kept the rear plastic intact. Looks good though!

Well I cut the front first. Then the back looked out of place. I really like it and more importantly I've never seen one like it.

 

[gizzy2014]

i would never cut my rear fenders....... as soon as the snow melts ill be covered in mud anyway

 

[Wifesblaster]

I cut the rears on my black blaster too (see sig.) I love the look. And when your rear tires are barely under the stock fenders your really not sacrificing that much. I don't mind getting muddy anyway.

 

[gizzy2014]

yeah true, i like as much as possible back there though and i don't like the look of cut fenders myself

 

[Wifesblaster]

Yeah I guess it's just personal preference. I wanted to make it look unlike any other banshees and this was the only way to do it. I like the full bore plastics, but so does everybody else. I might have to make a front bumper cause I only like one style of them and that's what most people run.

 

[thekingblaster]

I have the same renthal bars on my blaster! First time ive ever seen another set that faded to blue

 

[Wifesblaster]

They are off a kx500. Pro tapers should be here soon. Looking for a set of yfz450 front shocks. If anybody has any they want to get rid of send me a pm.

 

[Wifesblaster]

Just put the new seat cover on. Wasn't to bad.
