Dident think I'd be posting progress this often but here's what happened today.

I painted the handle bars



Got the first coats on the wheels



I welded the frame. Did a ton more with wire brush and sanding by hand. And got the first couple coats on



I've been working on this during work at breaks lately
I got home from work today to an even bigger box with my name on it



Plastics made it
Decal kit is in canada now



I'm really liking the way the exhaust turned out. Most of it is covered by the plastics. But decided to paint it all




I sprayed the motor with degreaser and let it soak a bit. Hit it with the hose and I'm happy with how clean it was. Accept one part



I had to put at least one coat of paint on the cylinder and head. Tremclad high temp again.



That's all for now. There might be an update tomarrow. But it will probably only be the frame and wheels. Hopping to Finnish painting them tomarrow.

I also took the auto oiler off today and removed the gear. Noticeable drag turning the pump. Not required anyways. Oil tank missing ect. Planning to just run premix.

Dave
