Tri.... scores one for the barn find column 79MK11

cant wait to get off work...just got my box of resto and upgrades from Z-1 ent....here we go...weekend off...pics tomorrow...decal kit arrived yesterday... first off i'm building a tire mounting station this weekend that will be movable like the redneck bike bench...Subby style,,,,,i think i gave those old metzlers a decent flogging and am ready to retire and shelve em for a thumper tracker project ,always wanted a xs 650 donor motor in a xt tracker set up....i digress

come on weekend......need to do this in order...so much to change and i wanna ride it between each change to compare....hope to have the body shipped out monday

Make sure to take plenty of pictures. BTW that paint booth is about the same thing that I used when painting my parts. It worked fairly well. I did get a small amount of dust settling on my parts, but nothing that can't be fixed with a color sand and buff.

I built some sawhorses with 4" legs. They worked out really well as frames to hang painted parts. I just stretched 16ga steel wire across as needed.

That temp paint booth will work just fine. Thanks for the link, I'm sure it will help several others that want to start painting their own parts

My gal got called off for the weekend shift so....the bike took a back seat to ..garden.mountain bike repairs ,aquarium,beach,big sur and football...oh well...that is okay..bike and parts can wait...i'm trying lose about a 8th grader worth of weight by the GP....

couple of shots to justify taking a motorcycle break

used to ride mountain bikes everywhere...first ride in 5 yrs....had to stop a few times....wal mart bike racks for 40 bucks rock....

this shot we drove ..lol

unreal ..sun begins to set...watching about 30 Egrits grabbing field mice...

we jump in the car and drive to a lookout at a famous eat place and catch this burner of a Big Sur melt...

for these last two shots i am standing on a railing just outside the window of the place while folks sip spendy wine and over priced food......we had ham sandwiches and stopped at a campground store to buy the neighbors two kids frozen snickers....

one good thing did happen for the bike...i found out my neighbors buddy in the Army reserve unit...has his own powder coating gig at his place and i spoke with hikm..shock springs...triples ...pegs and fork lowers...his coater can accet things up to 15 " sq...so no redoing my old akrons i had hiding...dude is super cool...

any ways enjoy the pics...and ...go Jets

if the pic looks fake it's because the whole coast was unreal as the sun melted Big Sur...it was just like that pic...

Wow Craig! Nice I'll have to post some pics of my favorite spots around here. Not as sunny this time of year, but nice just the same.

I gotta thread jack a little, as I had a real good day too. Wife scored me a Trager pellet stove for my shop for $100 on c-list. Nice unit, the boy and I just got back from picking it up, should make the shop work a little more comfy during the dreary months. I also sold a big ticket toy on ebay today that should just about cover the LTD resto. What a 1st class day
