Great job Don.Nice n Shiny. :2vrolijk_21:...............................................Fuzz


Thanks Rich.  Honestly was really pleased with the inner primary.  Even good cores on those are rarely "good."  Almost always see some pitting after they get chromed.  But this was a good core and the chrome shop did extra dip of the layer(s) beneath the chrome to really smooth things out.  Ended up like a mirror.  Now (law of unintended consequences) the old less than pristine silver on the engine cases stands out more though..... :huepfenlol2:

I'm calling BS on the above.
Nothing on your bikes is less than "pristine."

Not true.  It may be pretty darn good.  But I can't claim "pristine."  Would be nice though. 

Engine cases on this bike are beginning to show their age a bit.  It's not terrible.  But it is noticeable.  Also hit a pothole (sinkhole?) at night that I never saw coming a few weeks back and the forks compressed so far have a ding in the front fender now too.

It's a 12 year old bike though.  So I'm not complaining.  Still looks pretty darn good.

You can see it a little bit Spyder.  If you're looking for it and know what was there before it looks much better too.  Casual looker wouldn't notice it.  But, dammit, we know it's there.
Oh, and the axil looks good too.......can't believe you had that ole rusty on there that long .. :o..  har.  spyder

That's a touch I like.  Never see it but I know it's there.  Originals are functional but ugly.  Have had the axle back from the chrome shop for quite awhile.  Just hadn't had an excuse to install it until now.

On the old SERG there's nothing on its agenda.  No winter projects lined up.  Not even due for an oil change for awhile yet.  Same on the SEEG.  Of course saying that will jinx something....

Have put together some subassemblies the last couple of months.  New bearings and a freshening of the tranny.  Put the Progressive Monotube kit in the forks and assembled the tree.  And several other small bits.  Still can't make it a roller though.  Haven't yet got around to the engine. 

Still have top end yet to acquire and don't have the bottom end assembled.  The parts pile mocks and ridicules me whenever I'm out in the shop though.  So I should get to before the taunting harms my mental health.

It may be too late to worry about that!  :nixweiss:

Let me fix your post...... It IS to late to worry about that!!! Remember Don
got a little to close to a bolt of lightning back in May and I am sure his brain had to
reboot after that.

He may be a little "different" now.

Anyone want to take this and run with it?
