No badges. I am going to keep the paint simple more out of necessity, $$$ issues. I really just want to ride this thing. I wish I could afford powdercoat but I got a quote of $300 for the frame, retarded! I have plans on building an oven, just not in the plans now. I dig the green military look of your bike. I am ex-military and I gravitate towards that. Any ideas?

Tried to check your photobucket to see the diagrams, no dice. Post links on this site maybe?

There's diagrams in my photobucket. Simple basic no extras. One for points and one for electronic ignition. In Colorado's thread the elec. ign. diagram is posted and another member redrew it on computer. That one is easier to read. It super easy to do but time consuming. Solder your connections don't crimp. Looks better and is way more reliable of a joint. If your real patient and take your time all the wires will flow together into neat little bundles.

$300 is right for powder coating a frame. you could spraybomb it and ride it until the weather sucks, break it down and powder it.
 
Odds are I am going to spray bomb it for the time being. Then when I get the chance I can build the oven. The funny thing is that $300 is about what it will cost to built the oven.

Good to hear yur still at it man. I've said it before, you got some serious fab skills. Can't wait to see some progress pics. Just for ****s and giggles, what would you charge to hardtail my GS750 frame using the stock axle plates like you did yours and stretch the downtubes 3"? PM me the details, lotta miles between us, but maybe we could work somethin out?:cool:
 
I hope you don't mind if I sneak your idea to hardtail my 450L when I start to bob it :D
 
That sound like alot of work to make the frame taller in the front. The way our frames are designed with the amount of tubes, it would be easier and look cleaner just to build a single backbone frame. Probably about $500.

I don't know where you guys live, but I get frames powder coated in Denver for far less than $300 - it's in the $120-150 region.
 
I wish, I am thinking of building an oven big enough for frames and doing it myself. I found some plans online somewhere to do this.

Finally some new pictures of the few things I have gotten done. I had to modify the kickstand because of the exhaust. Made a little accent piece for better access to the stand and welded a stop to keep the stand from hitting the pipe.

Got the frame painted in my makeshift paint booth, it works. Paint is VHT rollbar and chassis paint, spraybomb for this nobudget project. Looks good, and seems to be pretty durable. I have dinged it and the paint didn't chip.
