YEAH I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE! Since I posted any progress on this bike, but it was because I hit a speed bump with getting the tower welded on it!! I do not have any equip. and no buddies to do it. So I took an adult ed TIG welding course(I can weld very good) and the teacher let me do it in class. SO IT IS DONE!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA, 2 HOURS OF WELDING TOOK 2 MONTHS TO GET DONE!! CRAZY But now it is there and it looks pretty good to me. Now it is off to the sandblaster/painter to get powdercoated. After that it will be full steam ahead with completing this build. I promise just a few more months at the most! :-D
All set, It's a dirt bike so I guess it doesnt have to be that pretty! :lol:
Good:
Nice build man. You'll be happy with the whole package it seems.

Getting my parts sandblasted/ powdercoated very soon, so it wont be long..... I CANT FRIGGIN WAIT!!
HEY GUYS!! I just noticed that my exaust pipe has a huge crack in it!! :x must have cracked from excessive vibration.
SO, I NEED A NEW PIPE. I was going to just use the OEM cuz I was told it was plenty good. But now that I need to buy a new one anyway, maybe I should go for a pro-curcuit platinum or a platinum2. What do you suggest? I trust oem as far as fitment. But what about the pro-curcuit pipe? Will it fit up perfect or will I have to monkey with the mounts?? I am looking for a well rounded pipe as far as powerband goes. Should I just get an OEM?
I will eventually fix the crack in the one I have when I get my TIG welder. And keep it as a spare. :wink:
no suggestions? :?

Should I remove the old races from the neck before or after I have the frame media blasted and powdercoated? :?
Bringing it to the coat shop friday

I dropped my frame off for blasting and powdercoat Monday. He asked me to remove the races before I brought it to him.
