Magnificent 7

i ordered some sherris berries and roses for my "red head"....then ordered a new 5-75 lb torque wrench for my other "girls". gotta keep em all happy!

Ut oh! Ruwfo!

Now why you go and do that!

Sheet! I look like a fly stuck to fly paper with all duct tape pieces laying around!

Ilike this one....clean lines

Two more sets of rims dropped off in Indy to get aluminum stripped.

Yes for sure have them stripped. I listened to Darin and had old anodizing taken off in 10 minutes

But removing those small rock dings and scratches etc is another story - still working on the six rims I had done
Well four are done at least.

Side panels going out today to Ride Pg, for graphic work.

I ordered 2 sets of rim decals.

One for this bike. Silver background with blue lettering for the blue rims.

Then a set for 82 Cr 250. They will be red background with black lettering on the silver anodized rims.

I also am going to have graphics made up for the 82 front fender, front number plate, rear fender and side panels.

Ok! Colors inc called me and they are shipping my rims back to me from being stripped.
So looks like total with shipping, 4 rims is $125.

Ok, since got swing arm on and shocks. Thought I would bite the bullet and get the air box finished.
Had to make few cuts around springs and weld the openings like original box closed.
Working on sanding and polishing. Gonna be a long process but here is what it looks like.

so bright you gotta wear

Almost done!

Here better shot of roost end!

Red Rover! Red Rover!

It gonna make a Jap bike move over!

Here is what the rims look like after Colors inc stripped them for me.
Not a trace of old anodizing on them at all.
All down to good clean aluminum. So looks like it's at $25 a rim. Was $25 to ship back to me.

All I have to do now is sand them to 1500 grit and polish them.

Taking this set back down to anodize.

Nice work once again.

Here are rim decals.

That's a lot of sticker covering those beautifully restored rims. I am not a fan of stickers. I like to let the mechanical beauty of the metal speak. I like selective choice decals tastefully placed in moderation. I have no doubt your bikes are gonna be awesome.

+1 on what oldbikedude said!

Are you just teasing us out in cyberland , WHATS HAPPENING to those purdy huskys !!!

sumpin must be up no nuttin outta dartyppyt for awhile hope the hope the hogs didn't gett'em

Had to get race bikes out and get them fired.

Seems like I came out of winter 100 mph!

Been busy traveling with work and got back from Atlanta. Next weekend head to Arizona but that vacation trip! We driving to enjoy the views!

So I have not done zippo to these things.
