Colin mounting up the exhaust. Pro Circuit got us dialed in with their works pipe. With how busy this bike is, this should tie it together and balance out the appearance of the bike a bit.
Buuuut you know we had to go with something flashy for the silencer
Titanium 2 Shorty about to have this bike screaming.
I like the way it looks with the Rtech airbox panels.
Now just waiting for levers and a couple of other small things.
The Shop
Don't like their airbox and side panel. Prefer the 15+ oem. Very similar but small differences.
Bike is coming along nice, any sneak peak at graphics?
And I wish I had something to give you a little preview on the graphics, I just don't have much info on that at this time. I'm not sure who's doing the graphics just yet, should know more soon.
Excellent work. You're inspiring me to do my own Cerakoting. Looking at blast cabinets and ovens now...
Thanks man, having a Cerakote setup definitely comes in handy. The blast cabinet alone you'll find yourself using constantly. You can mess around with different materials to achieve different finishes. You can even get away with blasting rubber hoses clean if you're careful enough with a fine grit haha
Setting up the front brake. We have levers on the way, but we're just using the stock stuff in the meantime to make sure everything works properly.
If you're bleeding brakes, Autozone will rent you this pump for $50. It makes your life a lot easier and saves you a lot of time. Take it back when you're done and get your money back.
ProX air filter oiled and tacky.
Mounted up the old seat that came on the bike just for the test ride. We're loving the way it sits flush with the rear fender and tank.
Colin letting metals expand before really opening it up. For legal reasons, I have no video of said alleged test ride and I personally may or may not have just taken it for a spin down the road... All I can say is I think I heard the last car alarm finally quit beeping!
She bogs a bit down low, but when that powerband does hit, the front wheel comes right up. It absolutely screams. We're going to re-jet tomorrow or wednesday and will update you guys as we come to a very near finishing point on this build.
Hell, I am OCD as heck, but no match for this build! Sweetness abounds!
Pit Row
Fortyhat, if you can't get those you can dye your white ones. Check out my build or JWACK build for how to.

Takes me back to my first two seasons racing (which were some of my favorite memories). My first 250F sentenced me to a bike payment which I didn't shed for 7 years buying bike after the next bike. There is something to be said about these old trusty two strokes.
We got them through Mike over at Exxtreme MX. Really cleans up the look of the front end.

Really impressive build, glad you opted to not go the standard route and did things a bit different. Killer, been fun to watch.
The levers are forged, the rest is machined. We also like that they add a roller bearing to the brake knuckle.
Think this should clean it up a bit
Graphics and a seat, that's all we're waiting on now guys!
