Teaser...A short view into the future:
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Camo bike, shinny muffler, thumbs down.BBQ paint, easy to repaint when scuffed. Works on gun parts, why not a hot muffler.
It's been a couple weeks since applying the vinyl. It is peeling loose in many places. It looks awful. I just imagine what it would look like flappin' in the breeze collecting dirt all over the exposed adhesive.This stuff is terrible, don't use it!I'm going to tear it off!
Reading about SquareD and the trans build now.Tough to get excited about bikes when it's 40's and raining all the time but I'm sure the DR will be breathing fire once you get your stoke back for it...and a working knee.
What?? No heat in that garage?
Thing is I like to work in the cold, say 45-50 is just fine to keep the wrenches flying and the torch sparkin'

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Garage is insulated I would suspect. Go find a 4-5 kW electric 240 volt heater. Everywhere should have some form in that ballpark (even HF may at times) you're a 30 amp circuit from comfort. If you can't find one that size a couple 1500 watt ceramic heaters would take the edge off. Before I got my proper heater I was using a little car warmer, 700 watt or so. Single garage but it would do the job down to about -20 or so. Not warm but in the 50 range. So I'm thinking you should be able to do something fume free.
I have to say, i am definitely not a fan of the air force camo pattern. as far as the exhaust paint job, have you thought about a shaker can of auto engine/exhaust paint? i think they are rated to something like 1200deg. something like this http://www.eastwood.com/por-15-hi-temp-aerosol-flat-black-44118.html
So did DR go the way of Big Red, and TacGator? Pushed into the cold, lonely corner, to be forsaken until one day, the pile of D2 boxes; slowly drawn down from the mountainous range they have assembled into; allows the warm rays of sunshine to creep across the garage floor to slowly re-awaken DR and bring her to all her off-road glory?Or you still working on plans for her?
