Spent the day scrubbin parts.. Motor is spic and span, swing arm is as clean as a whistle and anything else i could hit with simple green and or brake kleen got nailed..

Took a look inside the cylinder.. and the jug looks peachy.. cross hatch looks just as good as the day i brought it home from the machinest.. just a couple tiny scratch's from sand on the exhaust side nothing alarming..

Cant wait to get it back together

Blaster didnt finish with the frame on friday so it looks like ill pick it up next week some time.. Hopefully he is done before i go to alabama.

ISBB · Post by **ISBB** » February 24th, 2008, 7:41 pm

bottle of captains for the labor

paint was about 50 w/ more than enough to do a few more bikes.. i got a quart of paint a quart of primer and plenty of epoxy and catalyst and hardner to do at least 5 more bikes LOL.. only used 4oz's of paint and primer to do the whole thing...

Check it out... DONE!! I just need to fire her up in the mornin to make sure everything goes good, along with getting my side panels and number plate back from AMR so i can get them on.. Old side panel in pics. I dropped to a 195 main from a 205 and put the 58 pilot in.. the 55 was too lean for my liking and the 60 to fat so i went for the middle ( the only other pilot i had ) I cant wait to try out the new pipe/silencer combo the new jetting combo and the new GEARING combo.. its going to be like learning how to ride this beast all over again... I CANT WAIT WOOHOOOO...

Assembled minus graphics and new side panels/number plate.

mmm PC Platinum and the kicker doesnt rest on the damn expansion chamber any more.. no more annoying rattle.

For you guys who wondered wtf was up with those fenders that left a huge gap between your seat and rear fender.. Welp I had a UFO fender and had the gap.. This time around i got an ACERBIS Fender and check it out NO GAP...
