Rebuilding the track bike.

Thought I'd put up some pics of the process.

I was in the middle of an engine swap and TJR178 got me to go in on some powder coating.

So I caved and did it.

I had 3/4 of the bike apart anyway so I pulled the rest of it apart and sent everything out for color.

I got everything back today and got started.

My garage looks like a Ducati bomb went off in it. I hope to have it running by Sunday.






more pics to come.

:)

Like the head of an intake valve...

A piston...

It's very close to KTM orange.

I quit worrying about the price once I saw the orange.

When you look away, the image stays in your retinas :D

Okay, now you need to paint your KTM Ducati red.

It'll satisfy my sense of proportion.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

That would be wrong of me to do that to a KTM

I think if we're talking color changes we should be in ACC&Mods
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
"Don't piss off old people The older we get, the less 'Life in Prison' is a deterrent."
