Han Solo

Decided to remove the passenger pegs for a cleaner look and to remove a little weight, win win! After removal there were four unsightly threaded bolt holes left on the beautiful frame so a quick trip to OSH to source a simple yet elegant solution!



Marco Makeup

Started the restoration process on Marcos upper fairing. As of now the plan is a light coat of matte black, some new decals, and then a light coat of matte clear coat. You may also notice I left the rs50 decal on the front.....I am planning to keep it as an original detail for the bike.

RC390 Scratchy Speedo

During the shake down ride I found it difficult to see the dash display due the PO using improper cleaning technics. Luckily I have a set of Novus plastic cleaners/polishers to help the situation. It's not perfect, there are a few really deep scratches still visible, but at least I should be able to see it now. Please spend a few bucks on some microfiber cleaning towels and the proper cleaners so you don't ruin your bike!

Marcos dash pt1

Spent a little time refurbishing the dash. Replaced the faded tach with one I had laying around and cleaned the speedo and temp. Need to dig up a new foam surrounding and it's good as new.

Marcos fork 2

Finished the forks today, what a messy job!
