jmkapala Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 ok, so im waiting on my carbs to come in and i got bored not being able to do anything to the bike. I knew it needed some work cosmetically so since im sure that i will have to do this again next year, i didnt take a whole lot of time to do this, so here it is (so far) what do yall think? Before..... a couple of in progress... Quote
skyline_898 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 looks good so far.. need different color frame :biggrin: Quote
jmkapala Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Posted February 19, 2007 looks good so far.. need different color frame :biggrin: yea, i know....but thats probably gonna wait until next year. I'll end up stripping the bike down completely or possibly trying to find an a arm frame. but like i said, until then....... Quote
kaotik1 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 I have a 2001 a-arm frame with a title, tell me what tabs to cut off, and the color you want it. I will powdercoat it! Quote

jmkapala Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Posted February 23, 2007 Ahhhh, cmon roll with the old-school J-arms man!! they will be legendary one day! :yelrotflmao: ya know, i just heard that the j arm is lighter, but the arm has a better ride. thats about the only reason that i want to change. besides, it would be nice to have a frame ready to be sent out for PC....ya know?

ClimbAnyHill Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 looks good so far.. need different color frame :biggrin: It's looking beter there!!! I actually like the red frame! I know a while back you were trying to trade seat cover, I really wish someone would grab that off ya and give you an all black gripper! Cosmetics hmmm.. for now I say you accessorize with black in the engine area. Touch it up & bring it back to life! My pipes used to look like yours then I did this & it took like $20 bux. Quote

My pipes used to look like yours then I did this & it took like $20 bux. i have a guy that wants my seat cover, he supposed to be sending a MO out today. i have decided on a cover, heres a pic, what do you think? as for the pipes, i have already done them in silver/aluminum pics..... Next year I want to redo my frame. already decided on a color for it. i want to do silver with a translucent black. what do ya think? Quote
jmkapala Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 possibly cases as well as cylinders Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 That would look really good on the frame!! Actually, about an hour ago I asked Kaotic1 to post some pics of that color next to black. I was thinking the same. The pipes do look much better in silver and that seat cover would be perfect. I've seen those bikes before but never payed attention to the seat. Definately much better! Quote

jmkapala Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Posted February 26, 2007 did a few more odds and ends.....just keeping busy waiting to get the carbs set up right. heres 1 of the engine and pipes. i am almost positive that i will have to redo the pipes, but i really wanted to see what they would look like silver with the "T5" outlined. i also repainted the stator cover. i sanded it down and everything.....came out looking like brand new. pic... right pipe and repainted water pump cover. left pipe side view.....almost there need a seat cover....

jmkapala Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Posted February 26, 2007 just realized how much it DOSENT look like the same bike anymore..... :biggrin: Quote
