Magnificent 7

[dartyppyt]

Thought I'd jump ahead and start getting the 125 cases ready.

 

[dartyppyt]

Just got done doing first 125 case in KBS.

 

[dartyppyt]

So far here is ignition cover for 125. We shall see how the clutch cover turns out.

 

[dartyppyt]

I opted for a more brushed look. The polishing was too much.

Here is clutch cover after gold highlights and clear.

 

[dartyppyt]

Here pic of both

Beautiful work Darty! I often expect results like that, seldom achieve them.

 

[dartyppyt]

Thanx Ajcm!

Sure be glad when all these engines are done. Got to be insane for doing 6 at a time.

 

[oldbikedude]

I'm not sure I could keep track of them all at once! I hope to pick your brain on some engine finish questions in the not too distant future.

George that would be great! Also look to see if you got an XC 125 one as well.

 

[dartyppyt]

Here is the 125 head done.
Notice all the casting marks are gone and fins flattened out.
Hope gold is up in value?

 

[dartyppyt]

Here nother shot?

Tony, any way I can help.........

 

[dartyppyt]

Cylinder painted.

Here it is with the head on it.

I kept the same concept from head down through the cylinder, but left bottom and top brushed.

 

[dartyppyt]

Next case primed! Had to cut off all the sprocket cover flanges since they were broke.
I'll come back later with mounting a new case saver.

 

[dartyppyt]

Me other cover got the chicken pox!

 

[justintendo]

the 125 jug looks pretty trick that way

 

[dartyppyt]

Thanx bud!

 

[dartyppyt]

This gives you better idea how this one coming along.
Should have other half painted tomorrow and hope to get studs and bushings back in.

Think it will look sharp!

Gotta go get horses and donkeys in! They going eeeeeee aaaaaaah!
