Thanks to this guy too

Nice , & right quick build too.
Question on the shock body coating. What is it powder, anodizing? Something applied at a low temp I'd assume as to not anneal the AL.
Also was this bike actual "factory" or just replication. Just curious with the radiator , subfame bracing & that shock body.
You need some lighting :-D

The bike was built in the team green shop by Dayton Rapper for a buddy with the race bike mods with the exception of a couple of things, like bigger radiators. The suspension was revalved and the shock body looks like it has been anodized, I powder coated the spring. I did a 4th gear run down a sandy whoop section about 3/4 of a mile long out at the dunes in Florence, Oregon and it soaked it up super sweet. I had the intake off and there has been some port work done. The top end will come off soon for a few things and the flywheel weight will come off too. I did not look at the jetting, was going to but the plug looked good so I was just gonna roll with it. If I blew it up it would have been a better reason to overhaul the engine. But, it did not after a tank at the dunes , dang it. :x Fun bike, the guy I got it from saw it last night and said, "d**n dude, how much to buy it back?" I told him $3000 :lol: :lol: I still have it, for now......

nice job!!...I like the look of the powder coat....don't see it like that very often.
but you gotta tell me...all my life I've wanted to ride on my local beach...what's it like to ride 5ft from the surf??.
I've lived within 2 miles of the ocean my whole life here around Cape Cod, MA, looks just like your pics...but if I even thought of rippin down the beach, the SWAT team would surround me, probably beat me to a bloody pulp, destroy my bike, and then treat me to the same equality as being a murderer, or a child molester!!...the law doesn't take too kindly to dirt bikers round these parts at all.Luckily 75% of my family is in law enforcement, and I work for the Trial Courts of Massachusetts...but I could still never get away with roostin on the beach.
