Here she is, my project 200x. This weekend I put on the new front fender, and the fork boots to go with it. The front end is really looking good. I put some new tires on the rear. I got these fast trekers off of ebay from the guy who is selling them as blemishes, they are good except the beads look like they were strapped to a pallet with banding. Mother effer did we have a time getting the bead to seat on the right one!!! A strap around the center of the tire, lots of soap and 35 psi of air, then pound on the tire and tap on the rim to get it to go. They don't leak so I'm happy. look good too.

Now I have to get a new rear fender, the old one look too crappy. lol I'll keep this set for a beater set out on the ice. Tank should be done next weekend. I will recover the seat, and put the tank on over thanksgiving break when I get home again.

All in all it''s coming along nicely, Rear shock rebuild is next then I will do the engine. Tore the top end off this weekend, and things measure up nice so that makes me happy.

Yes I have the shock out. I have a square piece of aluminum in there just to roll it around so it's sitting at a workable height. I took it out when I repainted the swing arm and the frame. Will rebuild it soon and put it back in.
