**** it fukin hott bro

by the way wtf are you doin awake at 2 am

 

I couldn't sleep. I went to bed right after posting this, then laid there 'til about 3am.

Btw, I also added delrin bushings.

 

Dat sur is a pretty blue. I am partial to that color. I am waiting for my slow *** funk powdercoater to get my stuff done. I hope the red I picked looks ok.

 

looks good! (i'm biased tho hahah)

Relocated the key and rejetted the carb & installed twin air filter also..

 

Son of A! I knew there was stuff I forgot to list.

 

very bueno.

 

**** looks tight bro

 

I was thinking of painting my frame also. please post to let us know how the paint holds after riding.

Looks

mooch

 

Will do. Keep in mind this wasn't the typical rattle can job. I had the frame sandblasted, then coated with a self etching primer (basically what's put on an auto). I believe the primer cost alone was around $30, but not exactly sure. Then I put 4 cans of Rustoleum spray paint topped off with 2 cans of Rustoleum acrylic clear coat.

Really, the only difference between this job and a car painter doing it is the paint. Car paint is harder and more durable (for obvious reasons) than spray paint from a rattle can.

 

looks awesome. i did flat black on my frame. seems to rub off pretty easy tho. One day I will invest in a nice frame tooo

 

i have a slow *** powdercoater also ac ac ac ca c a c ac ac ac

 

I see the power regulator and wires. lets see the rest of the light setup.

 

looks good and turn you gas off

 

Well, the light will be added this week. I'm waiting for the bracket to come back from the powder coaters. I'll take more pics when it's installed.

 

great stuff

can you show more detail on the fork stiffeners?

 

Well, I didn't take any pics of of those (probably should have, haha). A few months ago Fuscat made his own using hex (6 sided) stock bar. Using the grinder, we took off a little bit of the edges in order to get it to go down into the lower fork tube. He might have some pictures from his stiffners ... I'll ask.

 

I was a dumbass yesterday and had my camera settings wrong. Here are some better pics of the finished product. I zoomed in on the frame supports, the key & light switch location, and the paint job.
