like the engine colour is that powdercoat ??
sylvester:
Rust-Oleum Engine Enamel 500 Deg. paint, " cast coat iron" they call it. I didnt like the colors they had, and aluminum heat paint has been done up the wazzu. Its diffrent and I think the blue anodize trinkets will work well with it.
jbersano:
Great Project my friend!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen:

Slow progress, my father broke his hip so the bike has been on hold for a bit while he recoups.
Picked up a 1988 KX125 that someone had converted the forks over from a 97. I replaced the oil and seals, swapped the springs over for the ones from my 250 that C&M removed when he rebuilt with Race Tech stuff. Tripple clamps fit suprisingly well 2 diffrent bearings and viola.
Pulled the wheels appart, instead of going with aftermarket hubs I painted the hubs with 2011 Camaro Green, the wheels are cleaned up and dropped off for anodizing black. I am ordering RAD mfg spokes and nipples, 80% of the stock one are bent.
Doing some prelim hose routing too.
sylvester:
These are the numbers for bearings and races to fit the 06 neck to the 97 steering stem.
