blossom's history part two
« on: January 21, 2010, 12:45:29 am »

I started this thread when the website was fresh.... I have since "unearthed" photos of a transformation she got about 4 years ago when I upgraded to the 200 tire.

The first thing to do was fab a new swingarm & fit the tire

paint next...A quick shot of primer, Note how high tech paintjobs are for me.


I cant believe I even wore a mask!


My OL was a good polisher


And a good grinder


Not bad on a saw


or drill press
