Taking everything apart and started cleaning before going to the paint shop. Split the fork (bearings were shot anyways) & removed the hub studs since we need longer ones for the tubeless rims. I also need to clean the engine cases since they're also going to be painted like we did on our Special...

Hardest stuff done. SIP's rivet tool sucks ass so I do it the scooterwest way. I machined an old punch to accept the rivet's head and peen the other end with a round hammer. Enough for today...

Can't wait for you to get the front suspension put together with the mudguard and wheel on. Are you using all black wheels too?

That's an impressive bulge on the mudguard! It looks great with that shock. I like the black trim and mudguard crest. I wonder if a polished stainless front hub nut cover would go well with the wheel nuts. 🤔 You've really helped me with my color scheme for my P project. I liked the pic you posted in the past of a red PX with black running gear as well.
