stripped

[humbug53]

Well, I decided to take the plunge. Started tearing down the Warrior last night. The poor thing is all stripped down, . I figured that since I wave no plans on going out and enjoying it until my wife and kiddos have machines, too, that I may as well make a project of it while I wait. This way I can fix a few things, replace some stuff, pretty it up, and give it a lil bit o' hi-po parts as well.

Looks kinda pitiful the way it sits, though.

Are you going tho paint the frame?

 

[humbug53]

Gonna powdercoat it, but not sure what color. Bright silver always looks good, BUT it also looks bone stock, and after all the work I plan on doing, I don't want it to look "production." But here's the problem. Most cool colors would probably look gawdy on a frame. Now I'm kicking around ideas. Thinking maybe a dark "titanium" metallic grey.

Hopefully the pic works.

Well, I had some time to get in the garage today. Bike is completely stripped. Nothing left except the bolts. I put them all back into their respective holes, to label them accordingly. I took a buttload of pictures. Will try to post some later this week.

How much money are you willing to spend?
thats your first question!

just paint? powdercoat? or a gusset kit and powdercoat?

cause i can give you pics, and much info. just PM me, i just had a custom XC racer frame constructed by TPR RACING!

and i came really really close to picking NEON ORANGE also!! good choice also!!

 

[humbug53]

A gusset kit? I don't think my riding style is that aggressive, but I am making a pair of rails for the bottom length of the frame. They'll serve as a reinforcement as well as some type of skid/slider rails. Also considering a reinforcement in the front A-arm area.

I decided to powdercoat the frame "appliance white".

 

[humbug53]

Update... The frame should be home from the powdercoating shop within the week. Bumper and skidplate is on the way. Woohoo

 

[humbug53]

They were powdercoating some other stuff in the same color, so mine got done early. Picked it up today. Looks coooool!
