1979 Mugen air cooled ME125RZ Restoration

In between working on splitting the engine cases, I was able to get gas tanks painted. I’m really pleased with the results.

Frame is done and hung up in the shop ready to start reassembly as parts are refurbished to go back on the frame.

Sure that's fine.

Got the engine cases, prepped in Sandblasted over the weekend. Ready for primer and paint.

Also received custom made Mugen decals from Throttle Jockey. Special thanks to Matt Davis at Throttle Jockey for hooking me up.

I finally got the yellow paint removed from the Simmons fork lowers. I don’t know what kind of paint they use? It is extremely difficult to remove.

New old stock rims have arrived.

Engine cases and Stator covers are primed up and ready for paint.

Engine cases and stater covers are painted. Red and beautiful. I put a flattening agent in the paint to try to get the flatter non-glossy finish. They look a little glossy in the pictures because they are still wet. Hopefully by tomorrow when they are cured out, they will be the finish that I’m looking for.

I didn't know they had powder coating way back then?

Thank you for the link.

Stripping off the horrible paint job on the 79 CR 125 donor engine for the Mugen project.
