Thanks for the auction posting cyclegod but I already have a NOS set of cannisters with the rubber protectors on them. But I would say a few people will want them as the rubbers always seem to get lost or misplaced.
Boney I didnt paint the tank, as their is a local guy here who is into VMX and he is a car painter so I dropped it off to him after cleaning, sanding, preping it so he just had to spray a coat of white. Then I got the decals made up by another local VMXer who is in the sign business and then back to the spray painters for the red and clear coats. The next job for me is to strip the frame down and take it to the powdercoaters. While they are doing their thing I will order a seat foam from MXM in Oz and get to work shaping, moulding that to the correct shape and then I will have to get a seat cover made. If I had the money I would love to replace all the bolts/axles etc with titanium, but dreams are free, so I will just have to wait until I win lotto. Then its the zincing. I havnt got the wheels for the bike yet, so I'm not sure if I will have to de-lace them and get them re-zinc, but knowing how things work I most probably will have to do that(I will be getting all the bits and pieces re-zinc . One of the jobs I will be doing soon is the lower fork legs. I want to bead blast, and machine them down to give them some shape and a different look to the norm. I was thinking about oval aluminium sidecovers but I think (for dust purposes) the original ones would be better.
