Tore it down gave it a clean and regreased everything, got it ready to ride. Jetted it perfectly using AJ's thread on here for the ktms with mikunis. Was running great after that. Sat like thay for a while until I began to really dig into it.9173.jpg?VersionId=M0ceOPtlBpFh.WT9227 092409317 0

After fully brightening up the motor with a lot of elbow grease and scotchbrite pads, had it back together. In the start of the spring I decided to get the graphics kit I wanted, and plastics to get it looking nice. Also got a clutch cover.16896.jpg?VersionId=pvgpBtHZui8hQBmi5jHsfiTtNNB16897

Got a bunch more anodized parts, and orange rad tubes, as well as ignition cover and more. Also new pirelli mx32 new gen front and rear. The powervalve cover i originally painted with high heat orange paint but then swapped it out for a anodized cover (dont have pics). This is how the bike sits today. Please let me know what I should do next,

 im thinking carbon Skid plate, vhm gold head, orange powdercoated triple clamps (xtrigs and anodized ones too expensive), powdercoated engine mounts bronze, maybe a new set of wheels with orange hubs (very pricey too), and not sure if you guys would think it looks good but black swingarm.18872.jpg?VersionId=FbHnDt2PFsgw8qh0NA dU56jAf1930119303.jpg?VersionId=GJ95SeyzOsBZJX19305.jpg?VersionId=QftagG6ARiRZ9ljnGqugpPHUq19307.jpg?VersionId=.arqE9B5arHmIj6PEjTA8bGO6D0jGJx1930919311.jpg?VersionId=iF9sOny wXNwAWV4CW9SHuL4RJ

IMO black swingarms never look good. Yours looks awesome the way it is!

Look into cerakoting your engine mounts instead of powder coating. Better choice IMO.

I do love the look of cerakote, but cannot find anyone local that does it. And i cannot justify $450+ CAD for a setup that i would only use a few times. But damn it does look fire

Good work so far. If you really want to powder coat something, do the main fame in orange, zero regrets doing mine. The colour code I used was RAL2009.

Haha yea im absolutely planning that as well, only thing it that I dont want to strip to the frame yet as im still riding this season so I thought I would do triple clamps and engine mounts as its quick first, then frame in winter. Hopefully I can get a good price, also thabks for the color code.
