hey HRDROKN...that swing arm looks pretty sweet! i think with a little clear powdercoat it will hold up pretty well..are you planning on coating it with somethin or just running it like it is?

At this point I'll just run it and use WD40 on it after each ride. If it gets scratched I can easily buff it out.

i hear that! well..if you end up putting something on it to protect it let me know...im considering doing that to my hybrid if i can find something to keep it shiney all the time without all me maintenance

I clear coated mine with a spray can from autozone, i think it was clear coat engine enamel or something.

How is that clear holding up?

I was able to get a little work in on the exhaust this morning. I used the FMF KX125 silencer with the KDX internals and stinger cut to fit... I also shortened the perforated tube to fit the shorter KX can.

Anyone know where to get the rubber grommets for the FMF silencer mount?

I could use some of them too...
Also, please call or email me or text about lacing up some rims.
thx,

I am just looking forward to seeing your videos next season on this bike. Think you'll still break out the "woo horn" like on your KTM?

I'm looking to get a shake down ride on the 13th or 14th of November? I'm having hand surgery on the 15th.... so I got to keep on it!

I've been slacking on the updates....

Finished the exhaust mounts.




Exhaust completed...

Electrics all mounted....

Lower radiator crossover hose just clears head stay mount...



With the motor sitting in the forward rotation the return hose is against the motor, so I will just have to keep an eye on it for wear...

good idea mounting the electronics...it looks really clean and almost like it was supposed to be mounted there!..i believe i might try that with mine!! oh yeah...and what did you use to polish your swing arm and subframe?

I used 300 grit and nothing else.... should be easy to keep up with, so we'll see.

Fired her up today.... sounds like a two stroke. LOL.

And I rode her around a bit today. I already feel the difference with the Ron Black mods. With the same jetting, the motor feels to have more bang through its range and it even feels like it lugs better. I suspect the top end will not have changed much with a woods pipe on,but the gears roll quicker with the new found acceleration.

I still have a few things, including replacing the the left side radiator... before hitting the trail.

So nice. I will use some of your tricks on my next project.
