Happy Great pumpkin day!!




Whats up dudes and not dudes. I didn't get much done today. My buddy Kenny tattooed me so i was in dispose most of the day but i did manage to pull the clutch today. I discovered that the clutch pads where pretty much shot from the sheer power of the stock Camino...yea that was a joke its ok to laugh. Anyways looks like ima need a new one might as well up grade the springs to im thinking the honda DIO 1500 or so rpm springs should do alright.

Carb cleaned!



Just got my carb back from my buddy, i wish id taken a before pic but i didnt. Trust me this thing was almost solid blue but a little soak in the ultra sonic and tada!!

Oops!



So in my haste i forgot to account for the rear rack and how it mounts to the frame so im going to have to notch the rack so it will fit properly. You can see how its just not happening the way it is and i just painted the rear rack to bummer.

Frame work


I stripped the amazing paint job off today and put the toptube or frame brace in. I've been told that the top tube gets rid of the weak u shaped frame. I used the same diameter tubing as the frame to keep it more uniform with the frame.

Update 10/30/09

6 roller vario installed with 3 stock weights and 3 stock drilled out weights.
Pic of the wack attack 3 roller setup
Super custom over spray on the case and cylinder

Pulled the motor outta the swingarm removed the painted (yes painted) carb replaced the wack 3 roller vario for a better 6 roller one. here are a few pics of the motor n stuff.

Wheels


The one thing other than being complete and haveing compression that caught my attention to this bike over the no shit like 25 or more other options was the wheels. They are six spoke moby styled wheels but aluminum and steel with sealed bearings. They are heavy as fuck but with a little attention they should clean up look pretty rad. A nice 46mm kit should help with the weight we'll have to just wait and see.

The beginning


Ok as afore mentioned my buddy hooked me up with another camino after my first one was stolen. Im building it up from scratch, OG mackdaddy ground up build. Here is how it looked after an hr of ownership. Some euro mc fagg fagg rattle canned it blue and over sprayed everything. Its bone stock camino DX (no idea what that means)

The El Camino

I picked up this Honda Camino from a good friend after my original one was stolen and am doing a ground up build. I've never played with this blog stuff so bear with me it will get better. I promise!!
