3/29/2024 8:41am Got a free set of Hoosier tires from a friend so i dropped them off with the wheels to get spun on today; ordered some parts for the airbox and other ends and ends so just waiting on thing to show up. If the weather stays decent i'm gonna paint up my engine cases and get the last two bearings...

3/6/2024 5:46am Picked up forks and shock yesterday; waiting on stem bearings to show up and swingarm bearings (found a deal for bearings and seals from a seller on ebay from Germany). Adept is dragging their feet on shipping my spokes and nipples to finish up my wheels and get tires/tubes on after that.

2/29/2024 8:43am Getting frame from powder tonight. Waiting on bearings for the rear end and stem. Top end is here from Millenium technologies. Time to get the bottom end sorted. Goal is to get tires/tubes mounted in 2 weeks and have a roller that i can sit on and smile after all the time and resources into it this far.

I’ve got a full set of brand new plastics with an Emig inspired look. Even have a new purple seat cover.

2/26/2024 4:10am I found porche silver is the cleanest on the swingarm. I always like to do the hubs and triples in some kind of accent color, dirty magic was the choice this time but on my past pro circuit replica i did black cherry gloss.

Started my 98 build with powdercoat on frame and sub. Still debating on polishing swingarm vs powdercoat (black). I may cerakote the factory hubs. Yours look 👍. The purple is period correct, and looks great with the green!
