[QUOTE="Gc33, post: 224614, member: 5599"] I have taken a break from my wing projects for a bit. I have been rebuilding my daughters bike, a little Honda vtr 250. I've sandblasted and vapour blasted just about every part, nut and bolt. But it is coming on nicely. I saw it advertised locally for $350. They said they had been offered 500 if they delivered it... Destination was a 100k round trip for them so I said I'll give ya 500 and I'll pick it up that arvo... It had taken an "off road" excursion but was straight. Engine ran well... Half the battle. These little 250 engines are near on bulletproof. Even with mistreatment! So I've done the following: Powder coated the frame, subframe and swingarm. -Stripped brake calipers and master cylinders, vapourblasted them all. Painted calipers gold. Looks nice. And rebuilt them all. Thankfully this stuff is actually better made than the made the goldwing stuff out of. -New headstock bearings. Vapourblasted triple clamps and painted. These came up nice. Vapourblasted front wheel.. Yet to decide on final colour.. -dismantled rear shock, vapourblasted it and repainted the shock unit, had spring powder coated. -Cleaned up rearsets and repainted plus clear coat -vapourblasted carbs, stripped down, cleaned again and reassembled I've started reassembling now. I've been able to buy most of the stuff out of aliexpress... Kept the price of rebuild down. Maybe once this is done I can get some time with my wings... [/QUOTE]
