dude WTF! why do you want to paint aluminium

 

Have been thinking of painting my other frame and both the frame and swingarm are aluminium correct.

 

My little bad ass...

 

^^ hahaha.....sweet

 

^^^^

I agree.

My son is quite funny commenting on all things motorcycle related.

BZ

 

lol awesome dude

 

I hope you hide the keys to your bike when your not home.

 

He has a little electric quad but I forgot to charge the battery. Yesterday he kept saying " I wanna ride the white one .... in circles...." Awesome

 

**Update**

Made a lot of progress on the newer bike, moving some of the better parts over. Played around a little too.

Gave the coolant reservoir a couple of layers of plasti dip just to see how it would work, leaving a window for fill level. Worked awesome. This way when I make the side panels for the other bike and put some mesh for airflow, it will show through less.



Only place I could fit the shock reservoir. Anyone think it will interfere with the back tire?



Couple of pics of entire bike with wheel swap complete. I need to bleed the rear brake and get a longer rear brake line because it's making me nervous because of how tight it is. I like the look.

 

Neat trick on the res. Bike looks sweet with the wheel swap!

 

When are we going for a ride?

 

Soon as I get the title back from the jack-ass that didn't sign it. Had to send it back to him to get it done. Should have it back any day now.

 

Hey Toe and Tex, me and Weller want to join you guys for a ride. Where and when can we meet you guys?

 

Toe's gonna be at SLO this weekend so maybe you can catch him up that way. I'm in NorCal and can be ready to ride in a week or 2.

 

whats the status on the bike tex....

 

Well Bike was great and done until one faitfull night I hit a bump or something sending the shock reservoir into the back tire ripping it from it's bracket and sheering the cable. Got home without putting it down but haven't had the pure desire to take off the exhaust again dismantle the rear swingarm and everything and remove the shock. Jamie has all the parts I need and could do it but after my last jaunt with the exhaust ( which ended up with me getting an umbilical hernia ) I haven't been up for it.

I really need to though.

 

Yes you do , and you are way over due for beers. Mark it on your calender and let me know when.

 

Your right Toe. My apologies my friend. Having Mon-Tues off complicates things but I'll figure it out. And yes I need a beer.

 

Shock is on it's way to Jamie's for refitting a reservoir. Will get it back on as soon as it gets back and gonna make a bee-line to Toes...... not really but I will ask. haha

 

Bummer about the shock. Lucky you didn't go down with a slick tire.

I was 2 days away from heading down to Daytona for the races when a lead from my battery charger popped off the battery and landed on the stainless res line and sparked a hole in it. Luckily I found a guy in Worcester to rebuild it on short notice.
