Soooo Pretty

[82'185s]

Got my X tank repaired and painted, pearl white with custom air brushing.
Not to bad for a $40 paint Job eh??:naughty: Got it done cheap because my neighbors an artist/auto painter.
What do you guys think??

[prestonroxu]

i think it rocks!!

[Preddy05]

can't beat that! now just keep your knees off the tank when you ride!:lol: :beer

[SYKO]

sweet dude!! just watch the clear under the gas cap!

[82'185s]

I always try and keep my knees off the tank but its got a heavy layer of clear on it so if its starts to wear thin then spray her again:D

[SYKO]

yea but the clear can get effect from the fumes under the lid it will creep under the clear becouse of the weak basecoat, take some black trv sealent and go around the outside of the filler neck this will help seal the paint edge and make it last longer.

[82'185s]

Thanks for the info...will do

[82'185s]

Heres a crappy pic of it on the trike,,,I was in the middle of taking out the junker motor that was in it. Im gonna get new tank scoops when I get a couple extra $$, and then eventually go black with it.

[rally4x4racer]

Thats a nice graphic and it looks like he did a good job.

I had no idea there was more than one person living in Willow AK....

[Nick_R_23]

You try shellin out 25 bux for gas each ride and we'll see how long you last,,,ive only got one can of gas for the winter and its gonna get saved until we get some snow,,,also Im tryin to piece all my other junk together on a thin wallet just like you :lol: ...besides,,,wheres my 75$$$ at???? :naughty:

BTW,, when was the last time you went just riding??? I tried going the other day but I ended up towing somebodys crappy XC 600 home because they cant figure out where their gas was leakin from. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k28/Nick_R_23/2fingerlol.gif

ROTFLMAO!!!! :D

-Nick :TrikesOwn

[82'185s]

Yup there is more than 1,,,there happens to be 2 of us:lol:

And my gas wasnt leakin, It was burnin it at 3 mpg:D If somebody didnt tighten the track up so damn much I wouldnt have had to do 7000 rpm at 50 mph. that alone prob made me loose like 5 mpg:crazy:

And ya I kno what its like to have a thin wallet, but before I pay you I gotta pay your mom :naughty: And that crappy XC will rape your little POS........when I get her runnin right.

[Nick_R_23]

It was burnin it at 3 mpg

More like gallons per mile lol. :lol:


And that crappy XC will rape your little POS........when I get her runnin right.

You cant talk here...Ive towed that XC home twice,, both times by my JUNKERS!!!! :cool: Does that mean that my crappy machines are more reliable then your nice one???? :eek: :D

-Nick :TrikesOwn

[82'185s]

Mine isnt unreliable it just burns way to much gas:cry:
And who ever said it was nice,,,I said not bad for a $400 POS :Bounce

[Huffa]

That looks sharp, really nice !!

If it was me, I'd make a pattern from tracing paper and install clear vinyl over it.

I make my own graphics sometimes and that's what I do to all of mine, then you don't have to be cautious one ioda about getting it muddy or anything.

This whole shroud graphic and logo took me a good 4 hours to make and it will stay looking nice forever because I did just that, made a clear pattern to install over top, it will never, ever wear through.

[82'185s]

Its got a couple good coats of clear on it so I prob wont worry about it to bad for now. Good to keep in mind tho.

Yea, I read that you cleared it but you need vinyl to protect the clear! :lol:

[82'185s]

can never have to much protection against those little accidents...:lol:
I might look into it,, what kind of places can you get it??

Some cycle shops have it sometimes but I usually just order it from MX south, link I gave you.

The stuff is very heavy duty!! Mud like this on the inside of your pant legs would wear your clear down prettyy quick, you won't wear that vinyl down though!

It's great to put on area of rear fenders that get scuffed up, they will stay looking brand new, I wish I had done that with my SX when I 1st got it :(

[82'185s]

Thanks,,,I geuss I didnt notice the link...I'm dead tired got about 3 hrs of sleepin the past 30 hrs or so:drool:

.......either that or your brain is not thawed yet from the Alaska temps :lol:

How cold is it up there usually, -20 to 20 + or something ?

I always watch that Ice Road Trucker show, those guys are nuts!!

You up by that area ? What do you do that you only got that much sleep ?
I could never live in the climate although if I was born there I guess you get used to it, naaah, it must totaly suck no matter how long you live there :lol:

Give me 70-90 degree weather and the beaches :D I'm daydreaming of springtime already :D

[82'185s]

Yeah, It might be a little frozen still, I was outside for quite a while...had to do some work around the igloo:lol: :crazy:
It usually doesnt get really any colder than about -10 or so, its really not that bad....maybe I'm just used to it. I really dont do anything to not get that much sleep (as I'm an un-employed, home-schooled student):lol: I just had WAY to much caffine and sugar:drool: I wasnt actually born here tho,,,moved up from Cali. when I was 1 year old,,,so i guess basically all of my life.....and to think I would still be there if my mom didnt move up here because somebody down there asked where squirls laid their eggs:lol:

Damn it would be nice for it to be 70 degrees again...:rolleyes:
