Project 700ES

[jwhelan65]

Decided to save a little green and rattlecan a few parts, turned out better than I expected. Did the calipers, modular valve and plunger, axle holder, and the hose guides. Also did the fork brace. Used three coats of Dupli-color and two coats of VHT high temp clear.



Followed tejasmud's lead and painted the outer tubes and ordered a set of Progressive springs to complete the fork re-build.



Did the holders in the granite to add a little contrast to all the black. Finished up the nose piece with some Plasti-coat.

Dang Brother you have been hard at work. Looks real good, and can't wait to see it all mounted on the bike.

I have been wondering about the Tarrozi fork brace, anyway you can shoot a pic of the ID where it mounts to the tubes?

Just curious. Looks like the dust seals mount to the brace.

Here waiting on parts and doing some research, my thread will come alive soon.

What color is that you sprayed in the first and second pictures ? Looks like a perfect match for the painted part of my wheels. If not perfect, it's close enough for me.

Those all look nice man. Can't wait to see your bike all back together.

Everything looks great, Joe!


Good thing your winters are warm so you can ride that thing this year. It will be done by then, right?

Thanks man!, yes the dust covers mount to the brace, it looks like it will cover the top lines of the outers also. Parts , parts, parts...always waiting as well.

Geez I hope so..its been a damn marathon...as soon as I can get the forks back on and get it off the jack it should come together quickly..maybe.

That granite color is Dupli-color engine enamel, got it at O'Reilly's Auto Parts store. The clear is VHT.
