So where is everyone at with your winter projects?!

John422 · Jan 8, 2014

So where is everyone at on there bikes? I know I'm going crazy having to look at my bike at two separated ends of my shop. I can't wait to get parts and new exhaust back so I can put it back together!

So post some pictures. Where you at? What are you doing?

sorry... wrong forum

John422 · Jan 8, 2014

Nice! Really like that translucent orange! Really brings your eyes to the bike!

818Guy · Jan 8, 2014

Ugh... just deleted it John422.

Pulled the thread from "new" list and didn't realize it was for the 1125CR.

John422 · Jan 8, 2014

I dont care what kind of bike it is! Man haha I just said winter projects. And I have a 1125 so that's just why I threw it there.

2003 WR450F Supermoto teardown, powdercoat, and upgrade.

How it looked in summer.

Most recent picture

Its actually a box of parts right now. Parts have been degreased and they are heading to the powdercoater this weekend.

I CAN'T STAND having all these brand new parts sitting around in boxes. Driving me crazy. Hopefully get the frame back in a week so I can start reassembly

I just got back from the power coaters today! And got awesome news. I think it's all going to be cheaper then I thought. So I may be taking my bike even more apart and giving him everything like my frame and such. and that's really cool super moto! I race yamaha's on dirt so love that! (09 250f) Haha and that bike looks sweet! Post some pictures up when it's together! Id love to see it. I bet those are a blast!! To rip around corners!! What colors you going with?

Minor projects here on my xb12scg... basically vinyl wrapping stuff.
It should be said, I'm in Houston, so we don't have winter. Just cold fronts. i rode last week, and currently the rain is pushing the cold front out... so if it dries, I'll be riding this weekend.

I'll have to take some pictures, but mounted up a new wrapped sheild and heel guards, and have a belly all wrapped and ready to mount. It doesn't match the other plastics, so I need to wrap some more before I mount it up.

Oh... and I installed the nelson Rigg sport 40 saddle bags. Though I can't get the straps to fit under the seat... so it doesn't look very sexy.

Going with black powdercoat and blue plastics. Still unsure of the graphics if any at all

planning to do the breather reroute soon, when i get off my ass. -20 degrees makes my fireplace too cozy

08herobolt · Jan 8, 2014

Nowhere. Had plans but ran into the same situation as GTP, negative temps. It's been cold as S here in Michigan. Went to the Progressive Bike Show in Novi looking for ideas and was waaay disappointed.

WayneBrettzky · Jan 8, 2014

Progressive show is such a joke. Couple good info seminars, but anything regarding custom is nonexistent... Just a bunch of dealerships and t shirt vendors

gtp3800 · Jan 8, 2014

I am going to menards and buying a space heater for my garage. that will get me in there sooner then later.

Primary gearing swap, new clutches, new clutch cable and black primary cover.

Then a Torque Hammer Exhaust!

John422 · Jan 8, 2014

Digging that exhaust! 50dro!
And you guys! The cold isn't an excuse to not work on yours bikes! It is an awesome excuse to work on the bikes! **** going outside haha.

I got everything ready for me to take to the powder coater tomorrow. I Forgot to get a picture of the stuff I'm getting done but things like.. S tail. Both rims. Suspension. Few other things. Small misc. stuff.

2004xb12s · Jan 9, 2014

Primary gearing swap, new clutches, new clutch cable and black primary cover.

You better remember how to do that! We are going to have to do mine next winter when I have time to do a motor rotate to swap my headers

John422 · Jan 9, 2014

2004xb12. You better start saving up money so you can have enough to do other things to your bike while it tore down like crazy. That's how I started this whole thing Ceramic coating my exhaust.
