That looks really nice!!! I wouldn't have thought to do it myself, but after seeing it I wish my motor had that exact color scheme.

Looks really good now! I personally would like to see a tap in the upper coolant pipe coming off the T stat housing....I think its cleaner to get coolant and return coolant in a non stock way:D Thats probably not needed for twins but still clutters

If I had to pull coolant for the turbo , I think I would come from the block

Also I would like to see the shiny stuff on the fire wall CHROME so it makes the motor stand out...again JMHO it looks real nice though Trent!!!

what about the return fuel line coming off the head is that on yet?

I don't need any turbo coolant lines Simon :D , I have the big pipe plugged instead of that ugly fitting that is stock , no fuel return line yet other than the one that comes off the block in front , the other one had an incident while we are tearing down :( , Dimitri has another one he is giving me .

Oh well thats cool! I have a spare also....If needed

I can see a few things that need to be removed though:D You dont need a heater....you live in the desert heat To me :rofl:the defrost will still blow on foggy days.

The fuel filter mount? Goodbye And thread the return heater hose line where it enters the t-stat housing. JMO:hug:


Whatever,I dont care I have a bike now:D:D

Looks nice Trent. Is this your race motor or the one in the lifted truck?

Looks really good Trent.

What did you have to do to the parts to get them ready to be coated? Simply clean them?

Blue/silver/black motor might look good....oh wait, thats the Lions colors....Id never win anything again.
