RAZZO · 09-16-2009, 06:08 PM

Nice XR!!!

Smokeum28 · 09-16-2009, 06:14 PM

sweet, keep it coming

Brach19 · 09-16-2009, 06:19 PM

looks good. what are you doing for a motor?

Jthomas7 · 09-16-2009, 06:24 PM

I got about 8 stockers in the garage.

I don't mod 73's strictly stockers.

Brach19 · 09-16-2009, 06:27 PM

Cant wait to see it finished.

Jthomas7 · 09-16-2009, 06:38 PM

I wish I had a few sets of nos forks tubes Hard to find a set that the chrome hasn't pitted.

I guess it won't be completely original as I plan on stripping and powder coating the rims.

Looks Good!! Keep us updated. Nice touch with the XR75 on the dining room table

Jthomas7 · 09-16-2009, 07:26 PM

Well where else am I going to put it?

The kitchen counters full

slimbo · 09-16-2009, 07:33 PM

its funny how many bikes get put together in the kitchen.

grm · 09-16-2009, 07:56 PM

True... My kitchen: Good light, an exhaust fan to evacuate the smell of oil and gas, access to a computer, plenty of 2nd opinions, etc...

ryder2726 · 09-16-2009, 10:54 PM

and not to mention cold drinks in the fridge!!

I hate you, and your plaid Monkey seat.

OK, maybe envy is the right word

Jthomas7 · 09-17-2009, 12:04 PM

you call it envy, I call it a man crush.

Jthomas7 · 09-17-2009, 07:29 PM

Powder coated my swingarm today and various other small parts. I love powdercoat! it's easy to apply and even a novice like myself can achieve an awesome finish!

The only problem I'm having as I put the bike together is sometimes it looks too good! Used parts that I considered good are no longer good enough. I thought the shocks pictured were a good set but have now decided to order new ones.

lowbike1 · 09-18-2009, 10:42 AM

nice bike! but really? 8? why so many? (I have 5 bikes, so I cant really talk

)

Jthomas7 · 09-18-2009, 02:26 PM

I meant 8 stock motors.

I have 19 total bikes in the garage.

Jthomas7 · 09-18-2009, 04:54 PM

VHT high temp then bake
Little tip from Rocket Randy Lee!

I am going to use a polished valve cover but needed to have something covering the head while I painted it.

Jthomas7 · 09-19-2009, 06:02 PM

so now my wheels don't look good enough to go on this think. Stock XR front rims are still available but the rear is not.

I'm thinking about ordering a set of CRF80 hoops and trying to lace them to the XR hubs. I realize the CRF hub is quite a bit different so I will probabaly try using XR spokes.
