I started this back on Oct 16th and finished it today (roughly 45 days). I was given this SX and it had some corrosion issues, front wheel bearings were bad, and the top end was trashed. The finished product is the Brother to my Section 8 Army trike. This one is called Gunny. This is what I started with...

And this is what i ended up with. It lit right off and runs good. Everything is powder coated and all the soft parts were replaced. It should be good for another 25 years. I call this one Gunny.. USMC ATC-0085SX

Thanks guys. These builds keeps me out of the Jiggly room. Last night I got it off the stool and found out the rear shock is bad. It compresses but no rebound...... It worked just fine before I tore it down. OH WELL, I have another shock inbound.
