Lol. Yeah, if I had more funds I would have more saws.

Heading for parts for the 254, but I did get the cuda engine bay painted, it is PPG base coat and clear coat.

Well I got new wires for the heated handles, had to put my own ends on as I couldn't find the correct ones but atleast they are new OEM wires, the old ones were just to brittle. Also was able to save the decal had to use some extra glue. And now back to painting the cases again.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Cases painted, very happy!

 

[drf256]

Looking very good buddy boy.

Nice Dustin! I gotta get going on my 288 again, still haven't put the new tank on it. Was planning on doing it tomorrow but I gotta chase some wires on my truck, lift pump pressure is going crazy. Not risking my injection pump by assuming it's a bad sending unit wire. Nope nope nope. It never ends

I promised to do a thead on this so here it goes, I am hoping to paint the cases tonight and reassemble tomorrow evening. Some before pics and a pic of all the new parts to be added. This is only cosmetic, @rattler did an amazing job on the performance part already with his port work.

they dont sell those cans in Norway we gotta get it mixed at car painters.

Cases painted, very happy!

looks great Dustin!

 

[rattler]

I may have to let the cases dry for a couple days, I have a light on it to help it dry faster.I decided to change the last wire to so that they are all new.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Cases seem dry, if I get home early enough from my sons game tonight, I will assemble it.

[XP_Slinger]

Can't wait to see this saw back together

 

[PA Dan]

Hey @Tor here's another paint that looked pretty good! I tried it in the 272xp before I decided to powder. This is probably what Jake was talking about.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Here she is all together, maybe not the nicest 254 xpg but I am proud to call it mine!

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

Looks damn spiffy to my eye!

 

[dustinwilt68]

I need a choke lever, if any one has one mine decided to break. I would love to have one for the GTG this weekend
