PROJECT UPDATE!
First of all the wheels go off to get them powdercoated, after that they will be fitted with new bearings and tires.
The tank finally gets rid of the red color, more about that in the next video.
With the whole rear end stripped down I noticed a lot of ugly spots.
After cleaning they turned out to be rusty, so I decided to paint the parts in order to protect them for the next couple of years.
The ideal thing would be to strip the whole frame and get it powdercoated, but the current budget doesn't allow that.
One big rusty spot on the swingarm was even bigger once the peeling paint was removed, same went for a lot of other spots on both the swingarm and the rear part of the main frame.
The grey driveshaft housing also needed refreshing.
I removed as much rust as I could, gave the whole rear end some new primer and then a black high gloss, finishing off with two layers of clear coat.
The YSS shock I ordered, a completely black edition, was then mounted instead of the old one.
If you have questions about the build, feel free to ask.
What parts I used exactly can usually be seen in the video, as I try to get a good shot of the boxes and labels before unboxing the items.
