its been a few months! time for an update!!
and pictures!
had a trip in augest havn't gotten to go in september or October..(school screws up my rides!)
friends couldn't make it so trip was canceled... if anyone is up for this weekend a day trip to Gorman or somthing let me know!
anyways here are more pics of the bike! also i painted my clutch cover and finally painted/modded/installed my Pro Circuit stator cover! check it out!
Installed the DR. D hot start lever from the other 426 I got
Finally got around to painting and modifying/installing my Pro Circuit cover, I thought about how to paint this thing for along time, I originally wanted to powder coat it but finally realized its abit over kill and I can paint it if do
BBR Exhaust tip shined up by a wire wheel and installed, also from the other 426.
This was after the trip above where it was in the desert, the Augest trip
The covers came out better then i planned I was really happy to see how the pro circuit cover came out. I prep sanded it alot, did three coats of primer, 3 coats of black, and took a tiny wire wheel on a dremmel and by hand ran it over the lettering to rip the paint and primer off and shine it up, looks just like I had hoped!
The clutch Cover also looks Great! for this one I also did sanding, 3 coats of primer and black, and then took a tiny paint brush and by sprayed the blue into a cap and hand painted in the lettering and even the magnesium part 3 coats of blue, it came out well but the paint i used wasnt light enough... i like the look but I was hoping it would "pop" more, i tryed matching the bike's frame paint wich it matched untill i put the matte clear coat on to seal it... it took away any shine and dulled the finish more then i exspected, oh well it still does look cool! specially out in the sunlight!
I can't wait to one day see a full beautiful FMF powerbomb header and powercore silencer on this side of the engine, the stock header is so fugly :'( also blue radiator hoses!
