CudaChick's Dirt Bike Thread -- '90 Honda XR200
Wow, I had no idea a non-Mopar thread would get so much attention!
Where were you all a couple days ago when my
Auto Enthusiast magazine article finally came out??? :-D j/k
Some nice work and fancy colors there Leanna.;-)
Thanks Scott! Truth be told, I was a bit skeptical when he was telling me his color plans but I'm liking the way it looks together.
:-D
Nice job on that plating. I bet you don't have many mice around there.
Thank you 340s ... That's a big 10-4 on the lack of mice. Or moles, snakes, salamanders, etc. They're good hunters.
Looks fantastic..........wish you where closer, I have 4 steel wheel I would love to blast and coat, cost of shipping them is not cost effective. Who built your coating oven, what kind of coating gun do you use and what brand of color do you use? I have exfriend, long story, who powder coats and I have always found the science behind it fascinating....
Yes, rims ARE expensive to ship.
My 7-footer is a homemade effort. There's
a whole separate thread on it from a couple years back. Despite its size, it's actually more efficient to run than the small household oven you might've seen in a few of these pictures.
I probably know your ex-friend. :-D We're a pretty tight-knit profession in the grand scheme of things and there aren't that many p/c forums out there.
I proudly use
Prismatic Powders out of Oregon. With over 6,500 colors, textures and finishes, I always find exactly what I need.
Thanks Tom!
That XR200 is a very popular bike here in Arkansas for scouting for Deere runs and coyote kills :tongue9: Bob C. has two of them "I think one is a 125,and you can not hear them coming with the muffler he put on them :glasses8: Light and fast enough to get you from point A to point B on his privet property, his is all camo'ed up with gun scabers on them, he has 2 one man pass through gates on his property to keep 4 wheeler off his property "half pasture land half thick wooded area" he is a big rancher here where you see me fishing in another thread or two.
Know your is going to catch allot of eye's Leanna :rock: That bike is Beautiful and Billy has it going on, Just keep him off of it :glasses8: If you can :glasses8: I would have to make a XL 200 out of it and put lights on it for a ride to friends and to the country store.
You sure found yourself a cool machine indeed :colors:
I like the CAT SCAN !! I lamo when I read that :rock:
Mike, since we share the same weather living close together, you know Saturday was the first NICE DAY since that little teaser of spring we had 3 weeks ago. Our friends James (the guy in the first pictures of this thread standing there puffing near Billy) and Trish came over and he wheeled the bike out into the sun. Wish I'd had the camera then! Woooooooo hoooooooo does that sucker ever pop! Apparently it was so eye-catching that a group of bikers passing on the highway -- 800 feet to the east -- all pulled in for a closer look. And I'm not even open on Saturdays. LOL!!! Took a half hour and a chitload of business cards before they continued along on their ride. :-D
That looks great! I love that color, and the attention to detail is awesome. I can't wait to be able to send some work your way!!!
Justin, after our deal on the valve covers a couple weeks ago I can't wait either. From what I've seen of your metal work, it would be an honor to help you out with anything. There aren't many people I'd recruit to do my blasting buddy but you're
definitely one of 'em.
Thank you all for taking the time to check out this little personal project! I really appreciate it.
