Yeah, this thing was well taken care of! Came apart like butter, didnt have to force a thing! Unfortunatley, the pipe cracked before the mount did!
O.K. Been busy and weather has been awesome, so I have been spending any free time in the day riding the KLX on the street, LOTS of fun. BUT I have been doing my best to provide some eye candy for you guys, so here goes :
Everything has been going together nice! looks balls out. The brakes came out great and I have a spare set of calipers I will rework in the meantime. Did not get a good shot of the speed bleeders on the forks, but they are there. Everythings going smooth at this point!
I have really been trying to go over this thing with "a fine tooth comb" as I assemble, to make sure it is done correctly. And I am beginning to gain some confidence that I actually know what I am doing here! Cant wait to get my muff back from bristol pack and yell thru it to see if any sound comes out the other side!
I have been dreaming up a build like this for over 14 years. I am so happy to see it happening!
By the way, the only gain in the aftermarket clamps is they are a little stiffer in fork torsion. And look wild.
Next up- Carb. work, airbox, and subframe/ kickstand.
Then- Radiators and hoses, and electricals/ cables, controls.
Last- Body panels, tank, seat, and Stickers!
