Thanks for the offer, but we believe we've found a source for some new pistons

Hey everybody
Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been away with the military for the past few months with no access to a computer.
Since my last post the frame was sandblasted and painted, the engine is getting finished up, and there's only a few more parts needed before she starts getting put back together!

Here's some pics of the frame as it sits


Quite the difference!

looks good

Looks pretty good so far, nice find on the 1000.

Well the projects slowly coming along, were doing some detail work on the engine now but the reassembly is on hold for the minute. My Dads not really sure what path he wants to take with the bike. He was thinking a mix of Pro Stock and Factory at first and now is leaning towards a mainly factory build with a few personal touches, but he's still not sure. Anyone have any ideas

theres a bit of room there between stock and pro stock!

Haha is there ever! I think he was thinking more along the lines of a very small extended swingarm with a slight increase in tire size while retaining the stock rim. I'm trying to talk him into a 1200 or 1300cc big bore kit but if he does that my Hurricane won't stand a chance against him, then again it probably doesn't now

an 1197 would deal you shit fits on the street but on an open stretch of highway or anything involving a curve i think youll have him!

Still no big updates in the project but its slowly coming along. We made a homemade paint booth setup in the shop and started cleaning and painting some of the smaller parts. We also moved around some stuff to make some more room and added my toolbox to give me more space to work on my bikes.

How the shop looks now



And some of the parts we painted

Awesome, looking good! You're getting there, slowly but surely!

Good looking stuff, nice to see another member from eastern Canada, I'm from NL. I might even be moving to PEI soon.
