Well, there's been little progress since the last pics, but I figured I'd go ahead and post something new.

Parts/mods since my last pics include: an axle/srocket hub (thanks mnsstuff!), various mounts, moving my tank back 3/8" using 2 extra set of tank mounts butchered/ground steering stops, forks lowered about 5 1/2" as per JWR maunual specs with new seals/10W fork oil,and a temporary number plate(will be replaced with Aussie's when they're ready). The swingarm was already lengthened 2" in my last update.

I'm about to get ahold of a 300EX shock put my shortened link on. Then a 22x11x10 Front Max tire and a set of 18x9x10 Hoosier Tri-Tracs on 10x8 3+5 wheels will be added. To complete the chassis phase after those additions will require brake pads, a chain slider, a little engineering on the front caliper or another caliper, a clutch perch, either getting my front brake master cylinder to work or getting another one off something, and a tether kill switch.

My cylinder is away being ported/head decked, and I'm gonna put new crank bearings/seals and a new lower rod bearing in the bottom end before I mount it up. I'll put a set of reeds in the block, seal up the cracks in my intake boot, and either rejet my Mikuni 38mm flatslide or get an FTZ 39/41.5mm taperbore Mikuni with an open filter winding the intake up. Then a new DG pipe/DG aluminum silencer will control the afterburn.

At this point, I'm either planning to lighten a RS flywheel, or get a KX setup.

I've got roughly a month and a half to get it together and on the track.

BTW, I know the $7 seat cover looks a little whack, but it's temporarily held with 76 thumbtacks. I'll stretch it and shoot it down.

Thanks go to scooteroo on the basic green on white color scheme idea. There may be others, but his was the first I'd seen to incorporate white on a major scale, though his looks better. To me, it cleans up the look of a Tecate a lot to include a lot of brightness.
