on the caliper i used duplicolor caliper paint, the rest is duplicolor wheel paint, the wheel paint has alot of metallic in it and really sparkles in the light, and it resists brake dust and grime well making it easier to keep clean

got some stuff done, tore apart the bottom end and got the crank out to be gone through. also built my mount for the vector seat
here it is bolted to the seat
heres the seat mounted
still got to build my storage box for under the rear which will also support the rear of the seat, got it figured in my head, now i just have to do it.
also got a rx1 tank cover from 04RXW10, it'll need some reworking
I love cutting up a perfectly good piece, just got to fill in the blanks now, looks scarier than it really is...honest
now I just have to change the title to this thread from preseason to mid season...lol
I've also got a little something else up my sleeve, more on that next week.....

Well there WAS nothing wrong with that tank cover when I gave it to you. 
Gald I could help you out on your project.
You need to it done so we can rip up the trails around here.

well thats what the trick up my sleeve has to do with, but you already know what that is
not really following you on fuel pump settings? do you mean the oil pump? if so as long as you don't take it apart at the adjuster you should be fine. may need a little tweaking at most, but you'll definitely have to bleed it

when you cleaned out the belly pan did you just use a pressure washer and sprayed in there or?

Stagg, what did you have to have done to your crankshaft? Replace the bearings?? Who did you send it to for the work? Good luck with the rest of tthe project. After getting the run around by the low life local powder coating outfit, I had to put my SRX rebuild project on hold while I got my newer SRX ready for the season. I'll resume work on my rebuild project in about two weeks.

jim, sent it to a local shop figuring on a faster turn around, well 4 weeks later i could of sent it out to one of the popular national shops and had it back by now.
but yes, middle rod bearing felt a little dry, so changed that (he changed middle rod too) trued it and checking everything else out

good to hear projects still moving forward, im getting the itch with the sled just sitting there and no snow to ride on
Jeff im out here in Muni i will send you a few pics of the trails. The lower UP is junk but the lake effect has helped the upper side of the up.

Beautiful Work in progress
That thing looks great, awesome job you're doing. Is that seat lighter than stock? I just missed a set of 38s on ebay by dragging my feet.
Anyway, I should take mine apart and start a project, as soon as I do snow will fllyyyyyy!!! I can't believe we have nothing up here, perfect temps and a chronic high pressure zone WTF!!
