As some of you may know I bought a Savage almost two years ago that turned out to be in rather poor condition. After riding it just three times last season I decided I wanted to replace the cam chain. I also noticed that the rear tire was misaligned so I started to disassemble things and the more I removed parts the more I realized the bike was in rally bad shape.

There was quite a bit of rust on the frame and swing arm so I decided to try and remove the rust and paint by sand and glass blasting and paint the frame. This must have been around February or thereabouts and after building my own air compressor and learning how to blast I finally put on the last coat of paint today.

The season is basically over here in Sweden now so I will continue rebuilding the bike this winter and I hope to have it up and running again in March.

It will be some kind of simple bobber when I am done with it. I found a Raask drag pipe that I will try out. I feel it is to wide in diameter and too short but I will try it out. I have already spoken to a company that can help me make a thinner and longer drag pipe that I hope to try out next year.

I have not taken many pictures during the blasting and painting since I have been busy understanding what the h**l I am doing. I am a computer technician so compressed air, bolts, washers, carburetors, bearings and most things mechanical are new to me and sometimes a bit scary.

That’s awesome. Looks great. I use only 2 part on all of my builds. They have all turned out good and paint is very durable. 2 part clear on body and tank can be color sanded and polished to a factory finish. Mask and good ventilation essential

He got my fart filter on his face !
Must have bad breath.
