This would be awesome John I’ve had 2 different suppliers that have supposed to make reproductions and both have let me down
Cheers Paul

Yes a good welder should be able to repair it.

[onza100]

I’ve seen them thank you but they just aren’t quite correct.

Well after over a year over having my frames the guy who was doing the decal still hadn’t.
So I’ve had my frames back and no decals. Sorry guys.
Need to find a new supplier.

Mine got replaced for a cracked downtube. The one I picked up on ebay is cracked on the rear part where the pivot bolts are looks like from over tightening

[onza100]

Sold now. Thanks

I had a stratos on my old one if they still do air shocks?

 

[onza100]

So I got the rear end polished up which took a lot longer than expected  😆
I also decide I couldn’t put the horrible brake bosses back on so bought some ti ones.

I cleaned up the forks and rear shock. Got some 97 sl’s instead of the 96 ones in the mock up. These have total air carts in them.

[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_large”,”fid”:”4222″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”600″,”width”:”800″}}]]I serviced the rear shock and replaced the O-rings but forgot to take many pic’s.

I then decided the judy crown needed to be polished to match the rear end.
So some more wet sanding.

And after a polish. Need to finish rebuilding these next.

Finally my Crossmax’s turned up today think these should suit it nicely

Thats it. Helps in all the mud we get over here in the uk

[onza100]

Its an old cog hog takes out the sharp bend in the gear cable just before the rear mech

[onza100]

So after the mock up build I did the other night on the sweet spot I decided I needed to strip it back down and clean everything. Wet flatted the back end down ready to polish. This is it before

[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_large”,”fid”:”4177″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”360″,”width”:”480″}}]]

[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_large”,”fid”:”4178″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”360″,”width”:”480″}}]]
And after sanding with 180, 320, 600, 1200, 2000 and a scotch pad for the welds.
Should be mirror polished tomorrow

I could just be the rear end was made in 1998. I know that you start getting next years bikes before the end of the year also.

[onza100]

These are still being done. Unfortunatly it seems I’ve choosen the slowest supplier ever.

The up side is the mock ups I’ve seen were perfect.

[onza100]

Its not a homegrown. Maybe an S9five, looks like a steel front end. Good luck with the sale

[onza100]

How much is it?
