I have sent my frame, sub-frame and swingarm in for powder coating about 3 weeks ago which should be done soon, hopefully, then the rebuild can officially start.

awesome Ed... yes, put the clip in the middle to start...then once you get it up and running for a day or two, then you can worry about dialing in the jetting more precisely.
can't wait to see your frame all done...what color did you go with?

Hey Fox, yea, I put the clip in the middle position last night and reassembled the carb. So now it's ready to rock and roll. I also turned the pilot air screw out 1 1/2 as the service manual said. We can see how it runs when the bike is done and then fine tune it like you suggested.
For the frame and subframe I have gone with a gunmetal grey colour and stock silver for the swing arm. I've also asked them to recoat the foot pegs (swingarm silver) and exhaust brackets my dad made me (frame gunmetal). I am sure it will look awesome when it's done. I can't wait to see it either.

Yea, will stick with green and white plastics, but going with black fork guards. Before I got the bike I had some time to design graphics and a mock-up of what I'd like the bike to look like. I have managed to organise a small sponsor for decals with Camelbak, hence the Camelbak logo, which I think looks great and goes well with the bike. The gunmetal grey frame really makes it feel fresh and a bit more updated without changing a whole lot.

My changes
When I get around to refoaming and covering the seat, I'll love to even out the shape of the seat a bit. Not a fan of that super thin design.
What do you guys think?
Foxx4Beaver:
I like it!
