NN2 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 Yup, a little. Just moving along. I keep forgetting to bring the camera to work to post pics. Since my last post I've built a better powder coating booth, powder coated most of the small parts a burnt translucent orange (very pretty). It's my first time doing a translucent color and I'll tell you, it's a lot harder to get even looking coverage than a solid color. This last weekend I started making the sub frame just because the other one was slightly tweaked. And the one I'm making will just look better. This up coming weekend I hope to finish the subframe and get close to finishing the swingarm I haven't started on yet. The cylinders are being sent out for machining and porting this week. I'm about to a point of having to spend money to get parts coming in. I already started taking the motor apart so I can sell my cylinders, coolhead, and intake. My target is to have assembly going good by end of February to mid March. I think the most time consuming is going to be getting all the electrical put together and getting everything to actually work. I'll post pics as soon as I can remember. Quote
killshee Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 i can waite to see how the pipes fit looks like it will b tight Quote
NN2 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 The way it's going right now I might just have to cut up my procircuits to fit temporarily. Hell, they might even look ok. I just don't see me having the time to make pipes. Quote
4stroker Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 that other guys (airtite?) with the cut and shut DG pipes looked awesome. so your using RZ cylinders? are you going to use the zeeltronic set up? www.zeeltronic.com Quote

NN2 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Posted February 4, 2009 Here's a couple pictures. Some of the powder coating I did last weekend. Like most pictures of PC'ed jobs, they don't show how good it really looks. Then what I have done so far with the sub frame. I need to add 3" to it, make some weld in adapters to mount to chassis, and add to the seat mounts. So far it is just tacked in place except for the flag mount. Quote
BenBB Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 Here is one I did last year. There is also some pictures of the YZ250 motored YFZ chassis also check it out Clicky Damn that one came out nice :cool: Quote
NN2 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 Finally made a little more progress this weekend. The swingarm and subframe are pretty much done. I am thinking about having something laser cut to put in the open space between the bars on the swingarm. Cylinders are finally out for porting and I got my cases washed and ready for powder coat. The swingarm has a honda carrier and I'm going to use the rear brake from one also so it is a dual piston. Battery box cut out on this one Quote
NN2 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 I thought I'd just start adding the motor pics and mods to this forum and leave all the powder coating appearance stuff for that forum. A couple pictures from when I was putting the new 4mil crank in. I put a max load bearing on the clutch side for a little extra insurance, I hope. Some F.A.S.T. goodies! Was able to get the basket on. The fibers were soaking in oil. Didn't feel like getting the woodstove going to keep my hands from going numb so this is it till the weekend. Quote
skinindustries Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Not a big fan of orange . but this color is sick! good luck on your build, looks like you got everything on lockdown as is tho. i wanna see how the pipes fit, or if you are making your own. Quote

The orange looks much better when outside and in the sun. Doesn't look so orangy. As for the pipes, I plan on modifying my pro circuits to fit because I'm just not going to have the time to make my own right now before riding season. I'm getting anxious though. Still shooting for around the 1st week of April to fire it up. Quote
