Well, I needed a study break today and decided to put the newly painted peg mounts on YJ.

They were badly oxidized when I got them a couple years ago and a few goings over with the wire brush on my drill fixed that along with some aluminum cleaner.  Sprayed them over with pirmer nd then followed that with some gloss black Appliance Epoxy Enamel...the same stuff that I used on my forks.

The next project will be the swing arm which I'll do this winter along with changing out my 82 pogo stick for the 83 monoshock I got from NV.

Heres some pics:

Dave, you need to put yellow stripes in them to make them really stand out.  Whatcha think bud?
Keep it upright and she'll always be happy!

Lucky cam eover today and said the same thing.  I'm gonna give it some thought.  I actually have some yellow electrical tape that I can cut into thin strips and stick in there to see how it looks.  May do that.

It would kind of 'bee' like the striping around a yellow jacket's abdomen.  I think it would look great!

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.
