and causing me tons of headaches with everything from a blown motor to some nasty electrical problems, I decided to tear it down and put it back together exactly how i wanted it. This means lots of powder and and a few things to make it a little different. Took a day back in november to do my tear down.
and just about done there. Frame sat like that until i got a socket big enough to take the swinger off. then sat for months until i was motivated enough by beautiful weather to finish what i started.
Color scheme is going to be pearl white on the fairings, and black with red accents on the metal. Was bored at work one evening and did this...roughly what it will look like.
Anyway, Heres the pics I have now...
First the wheels because they were hideous when i got the bike.
then added a little red..
Still need to buy tires. Old ones had tread but must have been 15 years old. the bike hasnt been inspected since 96.
the frame
something i started a while ago and will incorporate into the build.
Will post up pics of some other powdered odds and ends when i get them.
Im almost ready to start reassembly. When funds are available ill be getting new tires and fresh bearings for the wheels and swing arm. oh and also dealing with this mess..
sandblasted brake caliper pistons...yuck
Will post more pics of progress. Can't wait to get her together and lookin sexy on the road this season!
