BadinBlack's Hill Shooter/Grudger, the "Gold Member"

[BadinBlack]

alright, so it has been along time coming. My motor broke in march when i was riding my bike at olds hill. Cracked my left case :down: I had always wanted to powder coat my frame, and when the motor broke i felt this was the best time to do so. Bike sat there for a couple weeks in march in the garage with the motor broken. I felt depressed and didn't even want to look at the bike. One sunday i woke up and said, "I'm taking this thing apart today." 6 hours later i was pretty much done tearing it completely down. Man that was a lot of work for a man rolling solo.

I then spoke with my friend Gerry aka Elduner about me wanting to get my frame powdered. I asked him to help me out clean some of the unnecessary tabs and stuff that i didn't need from the frame. He said sure bring her down. So thanks to Elduner and Dunepred they went to work one day and cleaned up my frame. Thanks Fellas!!!

The other thing i also wanted to do was to be able to run my crf seat that i had purchased along time ago... with my slow work and me going to school i just didn't have the funds to buy myself a crf subframe for my ride. So once again Dunepred and Elduner came through big time for me. We went to a place where they sell metal and paid a whopping $4 for material. we then made a sub frame that would work with my seat and had a nice ride height. It came out awesome IMO, at a price that i could afford, and at the same time shaved some weight off of stock.

When it came to choosing my powder color, i went through a long thought process of what i wanted to do. I thought i definitely do not want to do it blue, red, white, black, etc. I'm an old school type of guy so i decided "GOLD" it is... then i had a hard time finding a shade of gold that i liked. a shade that i knew i would want on my frame for along time. What ended up happening was that i had to order a custom color which i waited a couple weeks to receive.

Finally everything i needed got ready for powder...

and then there was the wait of waiting for the powder coater...

so after waiting over three months and having my bike apart, everything was done and powdered. today the schedule permitted for elduner, dunepred, and I to get together and start assembling her. it was also the first day that i got to see how the powder color came out and boy was i excited!!!

we were able to work on it for a good couple hours and we got our selves a roller today... i am completely amazed of how well the colors came together. all day i tried to think of a name for her and finally i came up with the name "Gold Member" which also happens to be one of my favorite movies!

here are a lot of pics of the progress that was made today and where we left off "Gold Member" today... i will posting up some completed pics once the bike is ready to ride...

thanks for the compliment, i too love the way the two colors look together... can't wait til she is all done!!!

[pro-rider46]

wow that looks really good man. i like the frame color.

btw whats YQR stand for? its really been a question i have had for a while.

[fastredrider44]

What exactly did you do to break your case? I've broke mine, so I'm curious to know how others do it as well.

Subframe looks good.

Why did you want the CRF seat? Just curious


Looking good!!!:D

mine broke due to a stress fracture caused by the Hot Rods +3 stroker crank. i would and will not run that crank ever again in my bike...

thanks for the compliment on the sub, i went with the CRF seat for two reasons, one is that the setup weighs a lot less than stock, two because it looks cool and when your drag racing up the hill it is easier to maneuver your body around on it...

I guess I'll be the dork and ask what a "grudger" is.:o :D

I too was wondering, but didn't want to be the dork that asked. :D



You were saying about the seat, so do you run rear fendere at all? Do you run any sort of airbox?

[pro-rider46]

grudger like grudge racing friends. or someone out there who maybe beat you, but you think you can beat him if you have another chance, when you grudge you dont win like a place, but you can bet, or get braggin rights. sorry if that didnt make sence, im tired.

thats exactly what i meant by Grudger, race who you want once you know you can win everytime or loose every time you give a thumbs up and look for someone else...

[BadinBlack]

Man that thing is sweet! and ditto on the chevy.

I do kinda like it how it is, but have you considered front scoops and a hood? I think it would still look good.

[pro-rider46]

btw what swing arm is that?

Haha, I thought of your quad when I was looking at this. I might have to steal the idea someday myself, I like it so much. :devil:

Definitely a sweet build!

You're not running upper motor mounts??

Bike turned out really nice... hard to see details on the pics...

I don't know why these bikes don't come with a dirt bike seat... The let you kick the back end over so nice...

I have the Big Brother version except mine is a DASA Stockbore and Stroke..
