dunefreak Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Well, I decided to tear down the 70 and give it a quick makeover. I will try and keep this thread updated with a build log as I go. It's gotta get done quickly since the regatta is right around the corner. before teardown and on the operating table... chain was super stretched out and the tensioner wasn't even doing anything... After dropping the motor out... Pretty much all torn down... Now the fun begins. Don't ask what my plans are because I don't even know for sure yet. Stay tuned and you & I will find out. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 i reallllly need to get on my project lol Quote
Kens Colors Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Hurry up already, how come it is not done yet? Quote
rushjunkie Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 how long did it take to tear it down? Not trying to answer for Pete, but these things don't take very long to tear down at all. Depends mostly on how much rust is involved... Quote
RAGDOLL MX Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 i actually had mine tore down to bare frame in about 30 min. like i told pete when i was down to bare frame...."sh*t..this is gonna cost me alot of money huh?" Quote
bstecki Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 just put that 125 in there already and let the fun really begin Quote
mineurbiz Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 just put that 125 in there already and let the fun really begin Brian what 125 do you run, the GPX? Quote
dunefreak Posted December 15, 2009 Author Posted December 15, 2009 how long did it take to tear it down? Overall working time...probably 30 minutes to an hour and I was taking my sweet a$$ time. I worked on and off at it last night for a few hours. Dissasemble something, drink beer, get an idea, stop working, go to computer and price sh*t out and look stuff up, etc etc. Repeat that a few times. just put that 125 in there already and let the fun really begin I'm actually gonna order up a Lifan 110cc auto clutch/ electric start. I want the 125cc and I kinda like the idea of having a clutch, but it just isn't very practical when it comes to grabbing a beer and cruising across camp (the whole point of having this thing in the 1st place lol). I hear the 110 still rips pretty hard. How much can 10-15cc really make a difference anyways? I made some more progress tonight. I'll post up pics in a few. Quote
mineurbiz Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 You will have fun either way pete and your right, they are mainly to have fun on (unless you have two) lol Quote
dunefreak Posted December 15, 2009 Author Posted December 15, 2009 degreased & pressure washed the frame & other parts to be painted... Tweeking the frame & forks a tad to straighten them back out. Everything is just about ready to go to Kens Colors for paint. Quote
TheAlaskan Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Are you going to paint it to match the seats in your new car? :B Quote
Richard Cheese Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) whatever the effe you're gonna do to it, its gonna look nice cant wait to see the end result I hope to god you don't have a rainbow epiphany before going to paint Edited December 15, 2009 by Richard Cheese Quote

I think I spilled a little too much last event bucause of that damn clutch, my buddys 110 hauls too. I am going to ordered my new motor soon and get my overhaul going prob after the first of the year. Nothing like waiting til the last minute. Quote
dunefreak Posted December 15, 2009 Author Posted December 15, 2009 well iam ready to come over and have some beers and help out in any way i can.... No problem. I guess the next step is to get sanding on this stuff. But we can't get going on paint until the new fenders arrive. So...with that said...get over hear with some cold beer and sandpaper. Ken decided to paint everything up over here at my place so when it's time for that it will be a great reason to get a few DDR peeps together for garage beers. :peeps: Quote

If so last seasons cleanest 70 winner wants his tank repainted lol. Quote
dunefreak Posted December 15, 2009 Author Posted December 15, 2009 Pete Do you know if Ken can color match to the fenders? If so last seasons cleanest 70 winner wants his tank repainted lol. Of course, that is Ken's specialty. Quote
mineurbiz Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I need to find out what he would charge to paint a bare metal tank or would it be better to use the tank that is already painted red and just paint over it. Buddy has a small blasting cabinet so it is easy to strip it. Quote
TheAlaskan Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) what a d*ck! :atc: Edited December 16, 2009 by TheAlaskan Quote

RAGDOLL MX Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 well i cant wait to see what you ordered!!!....and you thought you were going to get off easy on this one.... Quote
desertskyz Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Well all my parts are now prepped, sanded and ready for paint! Now time to spend some rediculous cash over at dratv. Me too. Wonder if we can get a bulk deal on parts for to DDR members. I wonder if these parts people (cause most of us are use the same ones) are wonder Why are so many parts going the Henderson, Las Vegas area. Do they have a club or something Quote
