OK,so after watching the transformation that Rockefeller is putting his EC300 Through I will post my progress.
A bolt came loose that holds the plastic balancer weight on the crankshaft so it destroyed the piston and I was in for a complete engine rebuild.
All the bearings I have replaced in the engine, new con-rod, piston, replaced the v-force 3 reed petals.
Replaced all the wheel bearings and spacers, new linkage and swingarm bearings, new steering stem bearings etc.......
The day I picked her up looking a bit battered and bruised
The silencer scratched and dented, black rims really scratched and stickers and plastics looking really rough
The forks fitted are the closed cartridge 48mm Marzocchi,though the tubes were black, I had them re-anodized candy apple red
I had the black anodizing removed and the rims polished and clear coat anodized and the spokes gun-coated black
Engine back into frame
Also removed black paint on swingarm and gun coated silver, new footpegs
I think the forks look good now, all wiring finished, and tucked away, also have fitted radiator braces
TMD design works chain guide, new chains and sprockets.
The silencer I puzzled with, a new one would be expensive and how to fix would be difficult as it is mostly cosmetic and not functional damage, my fix,was to wrap it in carbon fiber, I think it came out really well
