Winter teardown begins...

[Kurlon]

hey you gotta start somewhere.

I want to see you "tear down" a bike without first removing the bodywork

Hello?! Did you see my frame video? : )

[spydah]

Hell I got you all beat. Mine's already back together!

[GixerJockey]

Did someone say "pants down"?

[Eddie]

What da hell man? I posted here a few minutes ago. Where is my damn post? Give it back now!!

[Fitz]

The SV is down to just the frame and the motor. Motor comes out tonight after dinner in Manch with some friends. Pretty sure it has a pair of gen II cams in the motor already too. Bonus!

custom fighters

[CEO]

Hahaha yeah like has been said... that's things ready for an oil change LOL

My CRF looks like Richie's RMZ and has a little further to go

[btr_ftw]

Removing the tip from the LV exhaust to get it powdercoated black to match the rest of the bike (it was a BITCH to say the least to get off)




shortened the levers about 1.5 inches and prepped for powdercoating.





going to drop these off today to get flat blacked

yes the swingarm too

[schleppy]

Mmm, so many tasty fighters.

Lookin' forward to seeing yours complete!

[Jim]

why dont you just buy shorty levers, instead of making your stock ones a safety risk of going through your leg. you basicly made your stock lever a spike now.

[CBR929RE]

my bike is all done too.
looks like this
<------

no crashes this year so its staying as is. and as far as I know the furthest its been apart since Honda built it is the valve cover has been off once. and the suspension has been taken off to get done.

Don't forget to do your gas cap and ring. What about the covers? And on the shortys. I got pazzos and love em.

That was right after I cut them. I rounded the edges off so they arent sharp anymore.

and yes shorty levers are coming

your bike looks good.

the engine covers are going to be flat black as well. i didnt want to powdercoat them so i'm just going to paint them on the bike. I'm going to just get a carbon fiber gascap

[clyons]

Tearing down?

Frame is now out for blasting and powder, need to check out the engine, clean everything and put her back together.

[MidNight Powder]

Why are there so many parts in this post that look familar? Hmm I dont know why. Its nice putting some screen names with real names.

[clyons]

Haha Phil, can't wait.

just checking

[btr_ftw]

forks removed to get repaired




exhaust tip removed for powdercoating (it was a BITCH to remove, they make these LV exhausts well)




going to give the wheels a good scrubbing. someone was apparently trying to kill me by putting an entire bottle of tire shine on them, do you guys think the wheels are in good shape in terms of tread?




engine and clutch covers are sanded and ready for paint, exhaust is coming off to get wrapped. the swingarm and gas tank pad are also coming off today.

[Mondo]

sweet, looking good. Why don't you take the engine covers off and paint them?

already ahead of you. I left them on the bike though b/c i didnt want to deal with any seals.

removed the exhaust and cleaned up the underside from all the road grime and dirt



painted the undertail flat black



reinstalled the exhaust and put the first stage of heatwrap on. also painted the clutch cover flat black. (1st coat)

[Mondo]

lookin good, did you end up ever getting that tool u needed for the swingarm?
