That's a nice list. lol.

Is that from the place you hooked me up with Tommy?

Why the fox float over the elka? I heard they are crap compared to the elka's.

Tom Tom is that yoshi for you ???

Yep sure is haha! Decided on the Yoshi...gonna give it a go, should run pretty good hopefully, just going to fix up the Gearing with the 14TH Front Sprocket

Haha yep sure is! PitBikePitStop!

Well the Elka I had, the Spring was Heaps Heavy for me and it was going to cost $80US to get a Softer Spring...so I sold it and just decided on going the Float as Ive talked to a few guys about them and they rate them to be Real Nice shocks! Cant Wait

Hey tommy

Just wondering what you used to polish your engine case (the right side), im polishing my whole engine, i bought Autosol metal polish, just thinking wha is the best way to apply it, i used a micro fibre cloth.

PS: Cant wait for my Elka

Cheers Jono

Well heres how I went along to Polish my Clutch Cover up...

1. Remove the Clutch Cover off the Bike

2. Sprayed Paint Stripper (you can get it in a spray can) and coated the painted surface up...did this a few times until the Metallic Paint comes off and you can see only bare metal

3. Give it a quick hose down to get rid of any excess paint stripper and paint

4. Sanded the Bare Metal right back starting at 400 Grade Wet and Dry Sandpaper, then to 800, 1200 and finishing it off with 1400 to smoothen any scratches out etc.

5. Bought this Josco Plishing Kit: Josco* |* Polishing Kit And followed the Instructions on the Packet until it came nice and polished mirror looking finishing

6. Gave it another good clean to get rid of any wax from the Josco Kit

7. Finishing up with using the Autosol Metal Polish which comes in a tube

Thats about it!

But doing this can take a fair few hours and you have to be Real Patient in doing it, otherwise the end result wont look as good.

I think it took me about a good 8hrs or so to get it looking like a mirror haha but even that wasnt the best job! Another couple of hours would have helped but by that time I was getting pretty over it. So yeah after reading that and your still Keen on Polishing... "Go For It!"

Without using the Wet and Dry Sandpaper and Josco Polishing Kit the end result wont compare to just using metal polish...if your going to do it, do it properly!

Also after time obviously the Clutch Cover will scuff up so you have to hit it up with the Autosol Metal Polish, best off getting it on after every wash!

That about sums it up

Haha yeah I bet man! Sorry about the Delay with the Elka though...


Cheers

Yeah i used Industrial strength paint stripper it worked heaps well.
I just applied the paint stripper (its in a jelly form), left it for a while and then just wiped it off with a towel.

Im also stripping my frame and my middle engine cases of the paint aswell.
Check out my build Its ''Pitboss Re-build". It looks way better now as those photos are a bit old.
Ill get some picks up of the finished frame and engine this weekend.

Is there a buffing wheel that i could buy to get it more of a shine.

Cheers man

Me and tommy might be able to figure that out on the weekend because i got a pro circuit and we can put them back to back .

and yeh im running 250 which seems pretty good but might go up to 270 like tim said for racing because where i was riding it only had a few small jumps .
