these are the forks i have. maybe able to source seals through them which could save me some money and they are sellin em as a upgrade from stock forks so cant be that bad of a fork...

 

[Blender]

fair enough, just remember the only adjustment you have it oil and spacers!

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

yreah but its also only for my ten yr old i reckon with some good quality oil in em and new seals they will be fine.... just did a parts list n pricing and ive already spent 780 bucks with a few parts left to get. The forks will def tip me over my 1000 dollar budget.

hell yeah! wish i had a bike like that wen i was 10!

the rear end and pedal came up sweet!
did you use a decent clear coat to seal he candy off, and help stop it from chipping?


the dog doesn't look too impressed with it all, :blah: :laughing-smiley-002

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

i haven't gel coated it yet but i most definitely will be, just have to let the paint cure for 7 days before i touch it again, it was only touch dry at the time.
dexter (the dog) isnt phased by to much unless it is moving quickly or squeaking lmao

made a fair bit of progress on the build just waiting on a few parts to finish it off.
had some dramas with the brake pedal turns out it just will not work with this frame for some reason it hits the swinger and wont engage the brake so ive ordered a stock pedal. was a major p*ss off as id spent the time to spray it and clear coat it but hey what can u do.

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

should have the back and front wheels back tomoz (new bearings in the front and the kenda millville and rim locker fitted on the rear) just waiting on the bar clamps grips n 1/4 turn throttle asv copy levers and im in the process of making a steel/rubber hybrid clamp for the oil cooler as i rather stupidly forgot to get the two nuts welded on the underside of the frame when my mate put the brace pipe in the center of the frame... i spent hours with the bog building 1 mm layers over the welds to make it un noticeable that the frame had been cut managed to completely hide it which i was stocked on.

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

little bit more progress made

 

[Rodney68]

Coming along well the young fella well be happy.

cheers mate callum loves it, he just cant wait to ride it

 

[Blender]

looking great dude, shame about that rear pedal, i hate it when you put all your work into something, only to have it not work-fit . and my mate has just got a set of those asv copy levers and they are of resonable quality and fitted up perfect to his bike so yeah!
cheers,
jack
