I just disassembled mine last night for some fresh paint. I also am adding a new graphics kit and seat cover. Nothing like waiting to the last minute. Who else is still tearing apart?

500 is still in pieces..considering stripping down my 86 and pulling the crappy motor out of it to put my 270 in but not sure if I will or not yet...

My drag trike is COMPLETELY in pieces, all the way down to the trans. Build begins this Saturday! :eek:


And my 250r is almost put together................



I was thinkin about adjusting my 350x valves, but Im kinda scared to touch it if its running fine now.........

Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to build the 200X and to try and build it so well. I think I'm partially insane because I really am not sleeping much at all and the anxiety is terrible. I wouldn't push myself to go that fast again, 2 months would be a bit better......

You kidding? I wouldn’t even ride the trike a week before TrikeFest so I wouldn’t break anything!

just finished the restow on the 86R. Thought I wouldn't get finished. No way could I tear it down with 1 week to go. You guys have bigger b***s than I do!

shii a teardown for a week is about nothin.

i had my R motorless, cases split, ripped down.
everything was painted.
slammed the damn thing out overnight just so i would have something to go riding on the next day.

Ive had the thing apart so many times it aint funny.

once i had the motor assembled, in frame, put together, riding, out of frame and back apart cause i forgot a damn crank seal, back together and running in about 11-12 hours. god damnit that day sucked something horrible.


but no, i wouldnt tear into it for the hell of it this close, because whenever you are going for a quick fix, you got 2 wait 2 weeks for a backordered part, or you break something and cant get it for a week. if im not in a hurry, it all seems to work out though.

Hats off to you crazy f*&kers!

Mine is stripped clear to the frame now. If all goes well, it will be media blasted and painted tommorrow and back together on Friday.

I can't wait to see this bad boy in blue. Hard to imagine it could look any better, but I do love the yammy blue.
