This is my first bike and first build. I bought the bike for 300 bucks couldnt beat it. Decided to make it a fighter due to the tore up plastics. was gona just make it decent but looking at all the other builds on here i decided i couldnt just half *** it. haha so it begins....

sand blasted the tank holy crap! there was some dents with bondo piled a 1/2 inch think so had to fix those hah.

had to plastic weld some of the broken pieces then i cut them down so make it fightery. im probably going to trim more off the back tail pieces to make them slimmer.

I used the plans from a thread on here to make the guage mount face. it worked out really good i just had to change it just a fuzz. heres the link he deserves the credit http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=78349.

painted the exhaust but defenitly should have sandblasted it first. the high temp paint comes off with the little grains of rust so it was pretty much a waste of time but it looks good right now haha. ill have to redo it after i sandblast it.

started the whole tear down to the frame yesterday for a couple hours. then some more today and now the motors ready to drop.ill hopefully get that done tomorow.
