    Got a custom yellow 83 rear fender and custom 82 white side plates coming.

    I ordered black number plate backgrounds in Fox.

    Tomorrow I'll get the fox head on the polished silencer.

    I just got a 76 360WR frame with Bultaco triple clamps and leading axle forks. The frame had a nut welded to the top frame tube with a weld blow thru next to the nut. The frame is badly rusted so I am thinking about building something on the other 76 frame that I was going to cut up for tubing. Still thing about what to do with it all. I am intrigued with the 77 Frontera fork as I have a test on the 77 360 Frontera and the forks were rated well by Cycle World.?

    What do you think?

    I am going to switch gears and use the rusted frame for a tubing donor. I can use it to reduce the rake and restore the rear loop on the 78 OR frame I have in reserve..
    I do have a Pitster Pro GPX 125 engine with a 145 overbore cylinder and ported head. One fleeting thought was to put small wheels on it and stuff in that engine. The customer waffled on my price for repair so he walked away from it. It has quite a few spares with it.

    Here is one of Andy's HVA Factory silencers. I spent couple hours polishing it up.

    So now I will add the Fox logo to it.

    Doin my brake backing plates in a paint called brush stainless. It's the beed blast, paint and bake stuff like rest. I'm doing that because they tarnish over night in their bare metal or polished state.
    Those are Andy's HVA Factory clutch and ignition covers. I take the castings down and polished the centers. It is some work but worth it.
