Bare naked. Gonna pressure wash and paint stripped and then comes the paint. I have white plastics black seat hood gas cover. Blue a arms. What color should I paint the frame? Swinger is blue.

Been stripping paint here and there for about a week and finally getting somewhere. Doing all this work to fix a crack, install gusset kit and powder coat frame.

Just in case anyone was going to use this stuff on an aircraft, might want to read the warning.

Still laughing about this one

Cleaned up my plastics. Not the best but will work for now. Any suggestions on how to get the shine let me know

Today I did the petcock mod. Bored out all spouts, bored out the cap vent hole (both sides) and cut the tab off to run "on" and "reserve" at the same time. Also cleaned up the front 13 tooth to put on in place of the 14 tooth.

Ok i finally got some motivation with the nice 55° weather we had today. I tried a few more things on spiritaces spiritshine build with the cr ignition. But still no spark, so I took that off and I will try my good stock ignition to fire her up. I also popped out my junk ball joints on the walsh preparing for my new ones done by white chassis. I also got my polished front and rear calipers back together and ready to install on the lsr. Gonna get a throttle polished by race reflections and have him finish my lsr rear hubs too and then the lsr will be done for now. Until I get the money up for a 370 4 mil spynx motor for the dunes for her.
And I'm trying to figure out if I want any colors on my seat cover from fourwerx or just do a jet trim seat cover. And then my +2+1 chrome stem for the walsh and my shocks. Lots to do and the new job is helping a ton.

I spent way too much time trying to get my front brakes from sticking so I replaced both cailpers with some nice 89 take offs. Then I took the old R out for a quick spin in the woods. Half frozen mud makes for some fun riding conditions!

Washed the R from the races this weekend, changed the oil, cleaned and oiled both filters, put a new B8ES plug in, cleaned and lubed chain, checked coolant (no loss), polished both sides of front and rear fenders, polished wheels, lightly polished the motor and pipe, lubed cables. Pretty much got it ready to race March 22nd at Podium One Motoplex for the start of the Crosley outdoor mx series. Probably wash the truck today and check all the bolts front to back on the R so all I have to do is load up and roll out.

I looked at my '86 on the stands waiting for me to replace the piston in it while I was putting together a parts list for a guy's 200X motor that he wants me to rebuild. Thank god this weather finally warmed-up enough to get out in the barn and start doing some work! Maybe I'll pull the cylinder off this coming Sunday!

Dropped off my Laeger frame,swingarm and hinson quick change covers for powder. Also dropped off my subframe and two sets of front engine mounts at the chromer. Part one of two builds will be starting soon.
