I've done a little tooling around on the trails at the farm in first and second gear and it seems to do ok. This is my first two stroke ever so I'm still not sure what it likes, but I do know it dominates on the flat

I got inspired on the 3 wheeler today and tightened the chain, adjusted the breaks, adjusted the mixture and idle. Then I took it on a pretty fun ride around the property, doing cookies around trees and climbing small inclines. It was a blast! The black paint on the plastics looks like crap so I'm probably gonna peel it off and bed line it then reliant the tank a nice satin black, got a six pack rack and some old school honda wing emblems coming in the mail.

Love the seat

Been scuffing paint and doing a little work on the truck cab to get it ready for primer. This paint prep is way more time consuming than planed haha

Also got a 6 pack rack for the 3 wheeler and some more riding gear. Got really nice boots and knee guards, also got upper body armor but the size chart was off so it's way too small

Love the rack haha

No more leg injuries

Do you have a compressor and paint gun?

Scuff all the paint real good before shooting any primer on it so it sticks well. otherwise it peels and chips off rather fast!

Yep I've got a compressor and paint gun. I also spent a few days scuffing every inch with scotch bright. It's ready lol I even did a little body work on the roof and back of the cab

Got primer on the cab today and wet sanding the rest of the day. Then hopefully get some top coat sprayed next weekend. And after that I'll swap cabs and work on the new doors and fenders followed by the bed. Also hopefully getting a new hood cause my old one has rust pin holes along the whole front edge.

All masked up still
