With all that custom paint/ work and sweat, are you gonna putt around or beat on it?? Haha It's coming together nicely!
 
Hubs look perfect clear those bitches! and what you mean by how I do the side by side ****?
 
ty guys! as far as polishing, well, let me put it this way, its peice by peice now, initially i was gonna sand blast n paint what i could with it mostly together just to freshen it up, look at me now!!! of course ill beat on it, those 1st few scratches ill cry thou:cry: yamahauler im talking bout pics, you scroll down to see mine, urs you scroll side to side. i wanted to put 2 wide, so i could put before n after pics. what got so excited was when i went back to tear down looking at bolts n stuff to match up and saw what it was n looked over my shoulder!!! omg those hundreds of pics are paying off, for me, i know you guys prob can look thru a pile and pic what you need w/o pics! my chain been soaking in kerosene 4ever, i now i need chain n sprockets, but for now how should i clean it, wire brush sides? i know i cant do top with o-rings.

i wanted to use hammered, but i didnt feel like startin a new can for 2 freakin hubs, ah hell i can prob do 2 hubs n still return!!!:haha: should I? or leavem? the sheilds r hammered grey. i hope this rustoleum holds up, kinda wishin i went with pc.
 
do you know what thread of mine has the pics side by side?wasn't it the before and afters of the 01 I tore down and spruced up? when I first posted those pics they were just like yours and then all of a sudden a few hours later they were side by side I didn't do it or do I know how I think Administration did it not sure though.

as for chain cleaning check out denniskirk.com they have a tool called the grundge brush and a special chemical and cleaning tub with scrubbers for O-ring chains
 
and you should polish the steering stem and chrome the rear shock rezzy can and clean and paint those rusty bolts in the back imo
 
when you were asking about those little head lites, there were like 4 pics side by side, steering stem is polished, had gold finish, came off when i polished with that aircraft **** i had a pic of in other thread, sure its got some grease n handprints on it from assy. i gotta lot of wire wheeling today on nuts n bolts, i gotta go see where u saw them on quad besides rezzy, that was thrown on just 4 pics, i saw rust on shock thou that pissed me off. b4 i did anything with shock id get a better 1.......only bolts i see r on rezzy?
