So I may have "accidentally" won a set of ZRX shocks off of eBay. For about half of what they normally go for

Got a bit done yesterday. Nothing really picture worthy though.

 

[jmartin1110]

Point taken ill get some pics. I'm still having issue with my tires losing air. I checked for punctures and couldn't find any but both of them lose air in a day or two after being aired up. Sprayed soapy water around the valve and bead but couldn't find a leak.

 

[ultimate fighter]

do you have a big enough barrel to dip the whole thing in plain water? that always does the trick for me

 

[jmartin1110]

I don't but I can probably acquire one

 

[ROBBO]

Hope there not crax in tha rims

 

[jmartin1110]

I don't think there are any cracks. Both wheels are in really good shape. I think it might be the valve stems I put in but won't know for sure until I can submerge them. I thought about taking them back to the shop I had the tires but on and have them test both wheels

Due to some complaints yesterday, here is a picture of my progress from the other day

You already have one.

Bath tub. :shocker:

My wife would most likely kill me. But I just realized that I have an old chest freezer in the shop that is just big enough to fit a wheel in.

I was bleaching/ magic eraser'ing the plastics off the XR recently. I scrubbed them in the tub and left them in there too dry. Forgot about them until I heard the wife taking a shower. She just took 'em out and laid them on towels. She did question the gas tank. Can't blame her on that one tho

 

[jmartin1110]

Been pretty busy lately so not much progress. I did get my rearsets but they have been sitting in the box. I have decided that I am going to start over with the side covers and fender. I am not at all happy with the final product. So that means starting from ground zero again. I will use what I have learned to hopefully produce something worthy of the buildoff

It's a little quiet in here...no thoughts opinions or other fuckery?? I know it seems like I'm almost done but I have a lot of carbon fiber work ahead of me as well as paint and body. I am trying to get to a point where I basically have a running bike before I get into all of the cool shit

You seem to truckin along pretty good.

You go girl :fu:

 

[RedLiner]

How are the Temps down there? I want to do some carbon fiber stuff myself but fear I might have problems if I don't keep the shop warm enough. What are you using for resin?

 

[jmartin1110]

Cold as hell right now. I have a 80k btu propane heater. I am using this https://www.ebay.com/itm/252526423401. It works pretty good with minimal air bubbles

I've been lost since the app died the rest of the way. I was lazy and depended on "participated threads" as my subs.

I'm slowly getting back to normal.
