Author Topic: My 87 rebuild (Read 9089 times)

red88r · « **on:** July 09, 2013, 12:33:11 AM »

Bought for $1400 off craigslist years ago. 88-89 rear arm on it. Frame was imo beyond repairing. Was all cracked from running wrong swingarm and no headstay. Motor runs good but has a crack from swingarm hitting it in rear. Tore it down and bought a frame for it. Been collecting parts here and there for it. This is and will be a slow build as I currently have some repairs to do to my 88 also. It is the grey wheeler in the before pics.

Looking good, I've always loved the white and chrome color combo for a chassis, just looks clean (only problem is keeping it that way).

Keep up the good work

Thanks fellas. I did do some work tonight but didn't have the camera out there. I'll get pics tomorrow. I cleaned up the axle and found out it is a RPM not a LSR...sweet! Put the bearing carrier,axle,brake stay,antifade and rear rotor on.

like the color scheme

Jeremy what type of stem clamp is that? is it a stocker painted black?

red88r · « **Reply #13 on:** October 15, 2013, 11:32:22 PM »

Thanks Barry...it is actually a LSR that is like textured black. I bought it used somewhere.
