    I'll take some pictures after I get my graphics on.
    If you are like me when I restore a bike, things I thought looked good in the begining, don't look as good next to the new parts. I say this because you say you aren't doing anything with the wheels. My powder coater was telling me how cool the hubs looked for his buddies YZ. He had cleaned up the rough cast in the center then coated the outside spoke area. Sounded good so I made mandrels to turn my hubs and give it a go.

    The remaining cast surface will be gloss black and the center cleared. You might think about it, if you decide to get into your wheels. The polished centers would look good on that shiney bike of yours.

    Looks bad and will look badder yet. You need to be doing a thread. I am doing them brush polished like I did Evan's in 06 redo. Gonna be close but yours are lookin awesome! Gosh what i'd give for a lathe! PS: you need to be doing a thread on yours. If we had a spare set of rear hubs, we could get our wives to put one on our birthday cakes and put candles in the sprocket holes or in all the spoke holes. How cools that!

    Awesome looking build.

    Now get a the stock pipe off the 125 in the background and get 2-4 HP with any other pipe. :D

    Thanx Kelly! That's the dynoport pipe that's on there and you are correct, makes a big difference over stock.

    I snagged a set of those with less than 100 miles on them. They are very nice. The ones I got came with the made in Germany Behr rims.

    Here are the latest pics. Had to polishe the shock reservoir to match the forks. Assembly has been slowed down since i had to completely dismantle the Husky CR 500 and split the cases. This is a little shot of the new graphics going on.
