Are you going to run the steel grill or ?

I'm going to stay with the '72 grill, I got a real nice one from "mk"

[fuzzier1]

Do you have the drivers side headlight bezel/door and would you sell it?

Also what KTM do you ride? My wife and I used to own a KTM dealership but sold it back in 04'. Loved the bikes but we had to educate the people around our town what a KTM was. We would have people come in and ask "who makes these, Honda? or Yamaha?" My reponse was " Why I ought to hit you right in the mouth"!

I only have one set of bezels, sorry

I ride an '07 450 xc w last of the RFS engine, KTM is the best bike I've ever riden around here 50% of the bikes are orange too
I'm just rebuilding it now at 330 hours and 12000km this is the 1st time its been opened ever, try that with any other brand, it's been riden hard it's whole life, it can cartwheel off a cliff into a swamp and fire right up, I'll keep this one a while
Here's a shot of my buddy's KTM 450 in the drink, I love this pic, 3 oil changes and sill going 2 years later

yet another "not much of an update" we've been busy camping and racing, oh and getting married
So I thought I'd drag the ol truck out and put the body mount bolts in and mount the doors, aligning the doors is going to drive me nuts but it is doable (sort of)
We've been trying to find the right house (with a shop ofcourse) to move into so I can really get after this project too
here's a couple more pics

looking good so far

Nothing better than a crew cab done nicely! I am wondering if you are racing the p.n. series and if you are going to be racing in nanaimo in a few weeks?

[James72]

Ya I race a couple PN races usually local stuff though. I put on the Squeelin Pig and Big Rooster races in Vernon. I'd love to race Nanimo but the ferry ride with a trailer and bikes if like $200 each way
Do you race? If you make it to the Okanagan we should ride some time!

[70 ranger]

I used to race a lot but lately the kids, house and work have slowed me down... a lot! It's been about 4 years since I have actually competed (hmmmm about the same amount of time to finish my truck!) but I am gearing up for the hair scramble in Nanaimo. I have done some races in Herling Island and Hope. They were a blast, but never in Vernon. I would love to get a crew cab one day and have kept an eye on your posts. When I saw some of your pictures I knew it had to be B.C. If you ever have any painting or body work questions give me a call. Your doing a great job.

[James72]

I hear ya, it seems after work and normal familly life I have time for only 1 hobby, now that we all ride the old truck has taken a back seat.
It'll get done one day for sure, as for body work and paint I know nothing! I am just going to bare metal it then epoxy coat it all and assemble it as far as the painter wants it then hand it to him, that way I can complain to someone if I dont like it haha.
Hope is an awesome place to ride, we did the 24hr race in August and just went back for the Zofka Ridge race, 55k of insanity!
I volenteered to sweep it because none of the track builders were able to ride the course they marked! wow it was fun. I think only 26 "A" riders made it through.
