I can't take it anymore! I'm going out to tear the engine down right now. Mwuahahahaaa! It would be pure neglect not to take the head off to check the valve wear and condition of the cylinder. I'm going to flog this engine hard so it better be right. I found a killer deal on a set of new valves (which are super expensive to begin with) so I need to know if I should grab them now.
Here is a look at the rear shock as I had the spring coated the same as the frame and the collars I had done in a grey coating.
And the frame turned out perfect. It's impossible to get the metallic quality in a picture so I did a light and dark exposure overlay for fun.
