Can't wait to see where you are going with this bike

Got my frame and swingarm back powdercoated:



Started to assemble:




Red MCCT's look trick )

Also had fun in the forests and on frozen lakes:



Screwed up the swingarm needle bearing, two days until I get a new one.

Got an identical swingarm needle bearing for 13eur and 2 days wait. Treated the bike to new filters and oil. Made two new little filter bits that go in the airbox for the carb diaphragms.



Little by little, the bike's coming together:



I already see parts to make a second batch of powdercoating like front and rear sets, rear brake caliper holder and etc. If the winter continues, I'll do them before riding; if spring comes early, might have to do them later )

Had the broken F.R.peg welded, but came out horribly warped. I asked them to re-do the job, but I'll have to source a replacement before powdercoating them anyway, this is just so I can ride.

Made a quick mock up just to see how it looks with the black frame and swingarm - I'm very happy!
Is it OK to powdercoat the rear suspension spring, does the paint hold?

Powdercoat will be fine, that's what's standard on a lot of springs.... Just make sure they don't go too thick

You're getting there
