I74 Thanks Joe ! . The only thing that is going to have paint is just the frame itself. All the chrome, king pins,, steer shaft assy,, seat mounts,,, titanium bearing casettes ,, & hardware,,,,, will all stay unpainted. .Color I ' am using for the frame is,, Krylon - ''candy blue raz metallic''.. Got the frame all ready to paint. 1 week ago

I74 Added,, the unpainted stuff ,, I just use good paste wax, ''no clear cote''.. Every time you wax that stuff,, it gets smoother & shinier.. I love the look of ''bare'' - polished / waxed metals. 1 week ago

Been busy refurbishing on my Buddy's Margay … I made the aluminum master cyl. lid by hand. .. We are placing a ''big'' order for parts & stuff,, later today. - feeling cool

I74 That's for sure … I ruined 2 white cotton polishing towels getting that spiffed up,, but it was worth it. 1 week ago

I74 Just learned something … The embroidered cat on the steering wheel is a ''Margay'' . They are about the size of a average house cat, look like a miniature Panther,, & reside in south America... They basically live in trees, & are classified as a cat that thinks it's a monkey . . I never knew that there was so many species of ''small'' cat's in the wild. 12 hours 8 minutes ago

Joe,, I sent you a PM. The Wifey deleted your e - mail before I got to read it. ''Go figure'' … I sent you my own personal e - mail address, use that one for now on,, ok ? Thanks,, Ian

Tony Hallo Looks like you need some new rubber. 3 weeks ago

I74 Since they are going to be just large subdivision street cruisers, we are putting Carlisle 15/6/6 turf saver -2 tires on the rears, & 13/5/6, Turf saver 2's on the fronts. they are 2 ply tires, & don't have a lot of tread,, & will give some rebound suspension feel,, plus road clearance. Tires are only around 16 bucks ea!

Smokin Joe That is cheap. I used to remove the valve stem on the back and polish the rims while it was running. switch the front back there and after high speed polishing with mother's, mount the rubber and air them up. Lasted half the race season. 3 weeks ago

I74 Think I'll do that to ours also before I mount the tires. I will do the sprocket & rotor hubs also. Good time While I' am at,, to dress the rotors,, using adhesive back sand paper stuck on a large paint stir stick with them turning.. 3 weeks ago
