i like white frames, but that's just me. They look cleaner and newer if you have a nice fresh white frame.

Paint it KTM orange.

 

[broncomitch]

I actually was going too paint the hole thing like a ktm..but couldn't do it.

 

[broncomitch]

I dunno about white... hard to keep it clean. Lol

Cleaned and prepped the plastics and got em painted up. Still waiting for the front fender to show up..

 

[rholbrook]

My suggestion is black frame and yellow plastics. I love the old school yellow

 

[broncomitch]

Lol if it was a vintage bike, heck yeah. Lol

Love when parts show up.

 

[zukijames]

Let me know how the painted plastics hold up

 

[broncomitch]

Will do, I think it's going to hold up pretty good.

I painted my old front fender with 3 different paints and proceed to twist, throw, and took it to hammer town and 2 flaked off but the stuff I went with didn't.

 

[broncomitch]

Got my crank back from LMR. They did a awesome job and even cleaned up the shafts for me.

This is my old one lol

Looks good to me. It should have run like a champ......smoothed off nicely, so there should have been no vibrations.

Not even the stock one. It has had a rebuild.

 

[broncomitch]

Krylon Fusion, Patriotic Blue*plastic paint.
And used a clear coat that resists chemicals (gas) and has a lot of flex in it.

 

[broncomitch]

I knew it was rebuilt with very low hrs on it too... Makes me wonder why it failed..

 

[broncomitch]

Made a bracket and mounted the hr/tach meter.
Bunch of other crap like going through the carb, cleaning up gasket area's, got the crank pressed into the left side of the case. . .just waiting on parts now...

 

[broncomitch]

Bike is almost done.

 

[broncomitch]

Set everything in place.

 

[anderson750]

Set everything in place.

I think that brake line is supposed to go on the inside of the fork leg.

 

[broncomitch]

Good eye, i never noticed that but would make sense.. I need to rebuilt the forks,so I'll be sure to loop it on the inside

 

[broncomitch]

Big step tonight.

First fricking kick.

Having a hard time getting it to idle..but oil fouled spark plug..so going to try a hotter plug.

Anyone try to tune a 2 stroke with a air/fuel gauge?
Thinking of welding in a plug to try it out.
