I finally got these parts back from powder coat. It has been over 1 year since I started this project. So 385 days later, $4000+, and a TON of time later this is what I have.

All i need is a little paint and it will be finished. Hopefully it will be running next weekend. until then, enjoy!!!

looks great. make sure you sand down to the base metal for your grounds. my friend Blake had his frame coated black, reassembled and had running issues at higher rpms and throttle demands. it would run fine at cruise. after much time, carburator, new top end, ignition system etc, it was traced to the grounds and voila-runs great. post up the assembly pics too.

Nicely done, where did it get done? Not sure I want to wait that long though.

looks great. what is the actual color of the frame, sometimes hard to tell on the computer. can't wait to see the final pic.
