Winter project started!!

Hi all, i hope i'm not going to bore people with this but i'm starting to do my winter project. I'm doing what i can but at the same time want a top job done so a qualified KTM mechanic is giving me a hand to do the techy stuff
I'm removing the wheels and stripping them ready for powder coating and the swing arm is being done as well, also having the rear shock spring and the rear peg assembly. Putting pictures on just to show what i'm doing and if anyone else is like me it's interesting watchin the bike progress.
Look forward to the critism and praise alike

i'm thinking about painting my frame orange for my winter project......

Just keeping you up to date, had the main bits removed tonight and being returned tomorrow ready for powder coatin
Having the sub frame done as well now but having the engine mounts and gear linkages done at a later date. As you can see from the photo's i've suspended mine from the ceiling and removing the engine mounts wouldn't do the oil tank much good being suspended so that is another job.
BUSHES NEXT!!!!!
keep you up to date on that one

Got the bits back today so ready for powder coating Oh yeh Dan. The bushes were a bastard have to replace all of them as the only way to get them out was to cut them, hopefully getting pics of the powder coating being done and trying to do a deal with them to do a deal for everyone on this forum

Nice work, I did say they were a barsteward lol

sommat like 18 quid a pop for those bushes! (each)

I think i saw a link from colnlklikerblingerhoffen somewhere else he had a quote from a ktm stealership to replace them and fit them for £60!!
Got to have them so i'll av to bite the bullet

Triple-s have kindly sent these just to show how my bits are progressing

nice I would get the chain adjusters done in orange as well. Think that would look pretty sweet against the black swingarm

swweeeeeeet

Tyres fitted!! just a case of putting all the right bits back together in the right way now!!!!

This is better than Christmas for me!!!
All the bits back, wheel bearings and bushes fitted, discs, sprockets, shock spring fitted and all the fittings back on the swing arm.
Being put back together tomorrow evening, celebrating with Strongbow and Kebabs
ROLL ON THE SPRING

excited for ya

OK, this is the last pic of the bike being put back together
Chuffed aint the word!!

Firstly can i thank everyone on here who has left a comment (good or bad cus without critisism we cannot improve)
Next can i thank the following companies, without their help and brilliant service i would of been fooked
www.triple-s.co.uk (powder coating)
www.ams4ktm.co.uk (technical support & parts)
First couple of pics are how the bike looked before and then the ones of it completed. Look forward to comments good or bad, but couldn't give a fook as i'm over the moon with the results








AND FINALLY!!! ....OK, OK FOR NOW

Looks hot mate.

the orange wheels/black swingarm are classy as.

might be a dumb question but...wouldnt the bushes survive the coating process ok?

looks mint by the way...fast early model...sweet

Good job, looks great! BTW it's obvious you love it, great to see a nice clean well kept SD.
Just need those tyres scrubbed in now.

did you have to trim the powdercoat to get the subframe to fit the frame?
