250-500cc Continued work on the '92 WXE

It was 71 degrees with no wind, here in Upstate SC yesterday. The ground is still super saturated from the snow and rain we've had, so instead of contributing to the erosion of my trails, decided to spend some time cleaning on my $250 92 WXE 250. As I continued to remove spray paint, applied by the previous owner, I found that the latex paint remover I was using, also polishes aluminum. After removal of all spray paint on motor, hoses, radiators etc.....I used it on the swingarm, rims and fork tubes. It's almost time to rebuild the suspension and paint the frame. Here are some "after" pics from yesterday (1/30/11)



Notice how shiny the Kick Starter is.....latex paint remover, baby. Safe on rubber and plastic.




Here are some of the parts, ready for install after susp. and frame paint.

Looks good but where are all the fenders? I know you got two sets, let's get a look at em!

Also you might want a Shaman or Medicine man come down there and give that carb some kind blessing or something!
Of course this is just a suggestion

You know I'm looking at your pics and saying to myself 92's had different exhaust port config and square edged swingarms, I'd swear that thats a 93. I am known to be wrong however. I myself have a 93 wxc360 and have done a considerable amount of parts comparisons while looking for parts that I'm hoarding for future continued operation.

Timpjr, funny you should say that, here is my post ref. the VIN. http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/need-some-vin-expert-help.16447/ I was feeling it was a 93 based off the VIN.

Fenders are for Sissys! LOL

Fellas, StepupMX graphics made me custom shroud graphics for the bike. I sent him my shrouds and a powerpoint rep of what I wanted (below) and he made me two sets. I'll post pics when the come in. All in All, two sets, custom built for $125 is killer....esp. for a 19yo bike. Troy was killer. Can't wait to get them. Now that he has made mine, he's got the set-up to do more I'm sure. Tell me what you think of my "rough" design.

That is sweet! You gotta have the right color bike to use the RWB theme.
