Re: Getting the Tazland BBK, GEARS, + MLM ran on a dyno
What gets me, is I DID examine it with one of those cheap endoscopes off of eBay and it didn't look too bad at all. But then, the resolution on those cheapy endoscopes is only like 640x480. I'm not gonna say they are junk, but I think it could of had a better resolution for examining the cylinder wall. If the scoring on the steel walls would have showed up, I would have known sooner. But no biggy.. it is what it is and has been changed.Meatball wrote:Aluminum piston VS Steel bore...we all knew who'd lose that battle

Re: Getting the Tazland BBK, GEARS, + MLM ran on a dyno
Here's one more peek at some of the things I am doing with the Spree.
This is the hand guard. I was originally going to go with some yellow guards and paint them to color match with some amber lights. But then last week, I came up with a better idea to stay with my Iowa colors of Yellow & Black theme. So I went to eBay and bought some black hand guards, then Hobby Lobby for some stain glass yellow paint. I used it to tint the white LED's in the hand guards to yellow. They are still drying, but this is how they look so far.

I've got a spare SB50 reed block somewhere. Might have to dig it out and try this modification out. Looks like a pretty sweet job!

Ive seen a lot of shoddy port work in my day but this is top notch. It takes a steady hand, patience and skill....looks like he has all three!
I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.

After the dyno runs and tuning are wrapped up, all the body panels are going back on and I'll have it ready to show in the scooter showcase forum. I'm hoping within a week or so.

Looking good, man. Might I suggest painting the wheels? Makes a huge difference.
I did white on one and black on the other. Both Gloss. Changes the whole look. Some guys do a wild neon or a contrast color for accent. Those look good too. Its all personal preference.
