EY3BA11 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Man this thing is a never ending story. After about 3 hours of work. I got some scrubbin to do Broken Radiator gaurd anyone.. Guess i get a new set of these too! Ready Filters not working so good!!! Time to go back to a traditional filter. Gotta love a beat down silencer! Bike was fat now running lean! Time to bump it back up to that 60 pilot and keep it fat all the way across.. It was weezing on me at the top of comp and whenever i was on it hard so im going to fatten it back up. My plans are to blast and fix any blemish's in the frame there are a couple.. Then paint it flat black.. I also ordered a new PC Platinum Pipe and New Turbine Core 2 Silencer as well.. So i can hopefully get that pull back on top and ill cure the missing bottom end with a little regear Probably run 15/51 or 14/49. Welp ill keep adding as i make progress. Time to get back to the garage and get that motor ripped out and forks taken off.. Want to thank Walt B370 and Kens Colors in advance.. You guys rock!!!

dunefreak Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Damn, good progress. Were there cracks in the frame or something? I never asked you why you were actually doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 The Steering stops in the head tube one end is busted off so it needs to be filled in and ground down.. Someone didnt know how to measure correctly when they put the steering damper on and drilled extra set of holes thru the back bone.. and one of them is starting to stress crack. There were a few other spots that needed some attention as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawasakiBob Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Joy! I know the feeling, I'm doing the same thing to an old street bike I rescued out of a scrap pile. Just a hint, but here's something I learned about doing bike projects (told to me AFTER I started) 1. Timeframe - never gonna happen, throw it out the window, you'll keep finding things you wanna do as you go. 2. Cost - take the original amount you thought you were going to spend, double it, and addd an additional 30%, that's where you'll probably roll in at. But it is fun, I'll admit that.

EY3BA11 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 it just started to crack so it will make it another weekend.. after glamis im going to go to another machinist and have it done right.. No time to have it sent out and get it back let alone waiting for the parts to get here before thursday... If i would have known about this before spending my allowance on all the other goodies it would have been taken care of before the bling sh*t.. but since i didnt find out till after i bought everything.. im kinda screwed... It should be perfectly fine.. There is a pic on the gallery of the piston.. I didnt feel the crack on the inside of the piston just the outer surface so i dont think it has made it all the way thru yet either that or its just an illusion and all im feeling is rise in the surface from where it smoothed out.. i think someone taperbored the jug instead of straight bored it.. either that or their port job is crap..

EY3BA11 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Finally the end of the road.. New pipe and silencer.. Went with the PC Plantinum to get more out of the top end.. the FMF Gnarly that was on there was a all bottom end pipe.. I like to try and keep up with the freak and pauly paul so i need all the power i can get up top Pretty much done except a few little things.. New seat cover, graphics, and pick up my plastics that are at AMR getting templates cut for them.. I cant wait to ride this thing.. I made a few extra changes to help the ride ability of the bike.. Dropped a tooth on the front to make up for pipe change.. Changed the pipe and silencer and did some jetting mods to it.. So all should be SWEET when i hit the sand this weekend.
