What color front plastics?


Recommended Posts

Thank you. Just can't figure out a plastic color or style. I want to switch the pipes to chrome and both out the left, polish the clutch cover, get a polished stator cover, polish cylinders and head and get my a arms chromed to try and brighten up the powder. As you can see in the pics the powder flops to an almost black color. All the black on it right now I think just makes it to dark and takes away from the powder.

Not gonna tell ya how to live your life. But I'd suggest better tabs for the front strut upper mounts. Another thread you mentioned doing something from the sub frame to the swing arm section. Do it.... Plus, you can use it for a place to hook up a wheelie bar. You can even do it with adjustable ends so you can still dial the way the way the chassis loads up.

 

With that thing being a single it's not if it gets sketchy, it's when. And when it does, if you have puney tabs, they will wad up. The sub frame would be gone the first time it goes in to death wobble. Yeah yeah it's a track bike. Being as you're still picking colors I'm gonna assume it hasn't spent much time at the track yet.

 

As far as looks, sheet metal tank.......

Yeah it hasn't made many passes. Probably 10 since I finished it. The subframe is actually strong than it looks. I can sit on the very end of it and it only moves maybe a quarter inch or so. I know it shouldn't move at all.... I'll be hopefully getting on it quite a bit more in the next few weeks and will be making changes/ corrections as they come up. Like I said I'm no builder so this is kinda a learn as I go on a budget. As far as the tank, yes a polished tank is a must and hopefully coming soon.
