ok guys, sorry its been so long since any updates... been busy as hell with work, and the rebuild... but she's done!
so, here is the (re)build
started off tearing her down ( i swear i have become a pro at this... i can get all the plastics off the bike in under 10 minutes now)
then came fixing that nice big crack... plastic weld time
then, i like to throw in my own mix of fiberglass resin and jb weld for extra flexability and strength
then sand it all down to a perfectly smooth finish
now its time to get those pesky old decals off
done
and now its time for the repainting
belly pan done
with the rear fairing, i figured it would be easier to just tape off and paint a section, then pull the whole piece off
done
and the final product!!!!! SHE'S BACK!
new vortex sprocket kit (+3 out back and -1 up front) with rk xring chain
new pazzo levers
well, there my sorry little rebuild.... wish i could have done another "complete" tear down, change everything build... but having a full time job, two other projects (show truck, and mustang), wife, dogs... and everything else... this will just have to suffice for now. atleast she's back to her former glory... let me know what you guys think

Originally posted by Rican KatgrlThe way that I look at it is, gear is cheaper than hospital bills and skin grafts. Yes, I think people are idiots for not wearing proper gear. Whether you ride a harley or sport bike. If you have money to go buy a bike then be smart and buy the gear. Whether its 50 degrees or a 100 degress its ATGATT for me.... But that is just my opinion.

Dude...frame sliders.
Might not have save you from all the damage but might have cut some of it out. Glad you are going to rebuild. It's a sharp bike.sigpic
