jack1978 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 My "nothing special shroom". My kinda cool pimply shroom....shimmery green / orange glow until you get close up....green with orange pimples. Ooops, wrong pic! And the gorg looks to be growing a new direction....branching up at the center. 6 Quote Link to comment

Stuff for the kids Actually all sorts of stuff........but need some boots for the forks so I can put the front end together.....basically replacing a bunch of stuff and well if its from the original am cleaning the crap out of it......getting tired of cleaning bolts.....also need to get new shocks or clean the crap out of the old ones as the springs have some rust. Will see if they clean up as I don't want to drop another 350 on this thing as I still need a battery and to make brake lines. Got to work on it a little tonight. Dropped the motor in so I can pull the side covers and paint them black like the valve cover is. Also change out all the bolts to nice shiny stainless ones......... 3 Quote Link to comment

I rebuilt a set of shocks for a 69 Honda. Had to use JB Weld for all the pitting, sand it smooth so it would seal.....took some time, but worked. I'd buy new the next time....Im lazier now in my old age. I've been searching Craigslist for the past 3 or 4 nights because of you.....asshole. 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah the issue is rusted chrome sucks.......I would just paint the coils but I am sure it would crack as the springs compress...... Just what you need another project and I actually keep looking at Craigslist.......I am sure I will want to do another one once this is done. This thing is just an oversized scooter.... 1 Quote Link to comment

The that's crazy is for the growth ? This thing has been pretty tough. Damn turbo kept knocking it off of the rocks and I'd find it buried in the sand or under the shadows every other week. Now he's top center and locked in place....and the turbo is gone! The turbo was the one who was parking on the return nozzle and spraying water all down the side of the tank and flooding the floor every other week at about 3am....that's when I was going crazy trying to figure out the flooding....remember that? 1 Quote Link to comment
