Title: dirt bike re paint or re parts
Post by: harris on August 12, 2008, 07:31 PM: not sure wether to re paint a different colour and re sticker
or just change all the parts for a different look i think i have all the bits
and new decals so not sure what way to go and sorry cant take of the bash guard
the frame has the marks from along time ago so it has to go back on.

Post by: Philbert on August 13, 2008, 09:28 PM: if it were mine. i would go for an overhaul!

it looks nice but if you bored then change it. theres some lovely parts on that already so you've got not a lot of work to do, but if it were mine i would:

repaint the frame to the sludge green colour of the mid 90's helped along by the red stickerset with the sculls on it.
get some s&m pegs on there
stick a straight odyssey slick cable coming from a tech77
maybe a profile trifan chainring or something of the like.
definately a new seat, gt padded dropnose probably
and a set of amberwall gt tyres.
take off the bashguard
take off the front brake
full on all round midschool bike!

just to help give you some ideas!

Personally I would change the seat & definitely replace the sprocket, I think that would make it stand out more. And get rid of the giro setup ;)
