Nice job! I hope you realize you have more patience than most people! The attention to detail on each part really shows. When it finally comes together, it’s going to be a nice bike. I’m glad to see so many people bringing these old bike back to their former glory, and really doing them justice. It’s sad to see the state of so many bikes in the wrong hands, these builds are keeping history alive!

Very true. I try to make sure I'm not tired when I work on my bike. I always screw something up if I'm tired. The best one was new tires mounted on the bike then I realized they were both facing the wrong direction. Took them off put them on right and pinched a tube. Those late nights really suck sometimes.

Thank you !!!
I am aware of reviving a bike, with which I drove at the time, I had the model 1988 which was the same bike apart from the plastics and the fork.
I am happy today to have found a bike that I wanted to have in 1991, to ride with her as soon as it is finished.
I do not want to make a motorcycle too customized, I want it to be unique but sober and I really like the restorations of these old motocross bikes, the American way. Me who am all the bottom of France, I always had the eyes turned to the USA, I hope that the final result will like me, but I do everything for that.

Some small rooms via partzilla, arrived this morning.
And the new front brake caliper was painted so I'm stripping it.
Balance reel 1 - Maxx 0, I have a hand (the left) which is passed between the brush and the support .. so stop for tonight.

so here is Wink

Cylinder finish
a new step towards the future assembly of the motor and the MX bike




A very small arrival of parts this afternoon.
What to advance on the rear brake system and the rear shock.
Someone told me that the bike will be new, I think it is not very far from the truth
