lol yea, but with plastics on you cant see much. I did have some on my front brake lines but i got some SS lines so I had some extra. I hate seeing all that slopy wires running down the frame, plus it helps hide my ressie line.

Posted by: JDiablo

^^ ye i hate that too,it needs to look CLEAN

Posted by: 400ex28

I'm painting my front hubs blue

Posted by: JDiablo

You work at a body shop, they gotta have a frame machine, strap that thing to the frame machine, I'm shure 30,000 tons of force will get it back to normal.

Looking good alex

I hear its better for your engine because like it traps the heat in and forces it out of the pipe instead of the pipe itself giving off the heat..i was thinking about doing this too but im still looking into it more.

and now putting g force axle and waiting on front end

Posted by: culookn

mine was it was all done. i rode it for maybe 2 months before i broke my back so im selling it now. pappy did some of the powder and i did whatever was left.

Posted by: culookn

it doesnt look like this anymore, i put alot of the stock parts back on.

Posted by: culookn

last one, if your going to do a budget build, i would defiently recommend C&D to rebuild the suspension.

Posted by: 300ex73

Well, here's mine right now. I'm gonna do a few things once it starts gettin colder out. haven't fully decided on everything yet, but here's what I'm thinking about so far.

New frame
Redo the powdercoat on everything, prolly a little darker silver
Hipers eventually
New tires at some point, gonna stick with Holeshots
Thinkin about new plastics, different color
Prolly get a longer steering stem
Want to find a used Burgard extended swingarm
Get some custom graphics made
Either some Cycra or Powermadd MX handguards
Prolly get some AC skids for the frame and swingarm
Lookin at maybe getting a Clarke or IMS gas tank
Prolly have this other stuff re-powdercoated in diff colors also-
bumper, nerfs, grabbar, handlebars, muffler canister, crankcase covers, hubs, and a few other misc pieces like brackets and stuff

Anyways, those are a few of my plans, nothing set in stone yet. And no, I won't be selling any of the parts that I'd be changing.

Unless you're unable to ride for good, I'd keep it. I broke my back once, doctor told me it's never gonna heal either. But I still keep riding. Look at Creech, he broke his back pretty bad, and he's still in it. Don't give up because you got hurt. Just look back at what happened, how it happened, and use what you learned from it to try and keep it from happening again.

finished

Posted by: Cody_300ex

yea lil blurry

Posted by: roostin_dale

Most of my rebuild will be for looks, it is performing top notch, but i MIGHT (if sponsorships go well) switch to a Tpin front end. and PEP shocks...

Plans as of now:

Ditch the Nerfs for AC propegs
Ditch Pro Taper for Fasst Flex bars
Ditch The HMF for a NMotion
Tune up the motor
New Tires
DG National Bumper
Precision Concepts will be doing my shockwork
every bearing and bushing replaced
New carrier and axle

As for colors, im either goin blue or yellow i think and Laker fenders...plus new seatcover/graphics and crap

After all this i should be ready to make my run for the A class title..

Better one

Posted by: Mxjunkie

Father like son lol, I guess if you wanna play with the big boys with big motors have to pay big bucks

His bike broke the starter shaft in half and fried the coils inside the starter and fried the starter clutch.. 250 psi in each cylinder kinda kills the 500 dollar starters, this is the 6th one
