I love the colors man. This is going to be a sick build. That blue just fits so well. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the LEGEND part. The small part. It kind of looks like Egeno. I know you want to commemorate "39". Just would rather you throw 39 on the number plates. Otherwise I freaking love it and your channel. Whatever you decide, I'm just happy to see some bikes brother.🤘 No offense...just a little criticism.

MIKE!!! if that tank is good (no holes or leaks), you can bring it back to like new condition with nothing more than hydrogen peroxide and UV rays (the sun). Put the tank in a big clear tote and fill the tote with peroxide and put it outside in the sun. Within an hour or two, that tank will look brand new. There are a ton of videos on KZfaq of guys restoring certain plastics like that.

For the radiators I highly recommend you check out ICW in North Carolina, he straightens them, welds in gussets and supports. He is really affordable and does quality work. I know he does a lot of work for professional racers and teams. Really looking forward to see how this build comes out, keep up the great work Micheal!!

@danielkarlsson608 25 күн бұрын

Hey Michael, the T-piece connection in the frame requires a special tool. A threaded aluminium pipe is glued in there. Don't mess it up! Also, I think the dog bone link is flipped over, the nuts should be on the same side. Also check the shock bodys inside, the coating wears away if the sag adjuster lock ring is overtightened. The same happens when the shock's upper and lower bearings go bad, that will bend the shaft, causing rapid wear to the shock body tube.

Looks pretty awesome! As a KTM owner for some years and enthusiast in personalisation like yourself, keep in mind that with those color combinations in the plastics you'll need to have a 3rd color in the airbox. I think in that year model KTM only had black, white or orange. You can see the airbox from the back and it is quite a considerable area. Cheers mate!

Only recommendation i can say with rebuilding the forks yourself is make sure everything is spotless clean. Take your time and be sure to take extra time running them through cycles to purge the air. Its not hard but easy to fuck up of you are not on your game or in a rush.

@allankorte3753 24 күн бұрын

Well, in the initial color choosing in this video, I was all in until you brought in, what appeared to me, to be a very light blue. I wasn't loving that at all until you said, "yeah, the blue color of the Suzuki valve cover". Then I thought, oh hell yeah. That blue certainly played awesome with the yellow on the quad! But after thinking about it, I think I loved that blue because of the matte finish/deep texture. My point here is, you probably can't really duplicate the look of that blue on your on-screen renderings. I think you should keep that in mind with the folks that tell you they're not digging the blue. And to finish my point, that matte blue would look kick ass on the hubs of the black wheels. Hopefully the spokes will be black as well. One other thing I noticed... The "L" in legend could flow a little better yet. I don't really know how yet, but before you resized it to the rendering, my eyes only really saw 'egend'. After you tweaked it onto the bike, it got better for my eyes, but still could use a touch more tweak, imo. Your skills as a graphics designer blow me away. Thank you for the awesome content, as usual. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

@Slane583 25 күн бұрын

That's a pretty badass color scheme Mike. I like seeing when people break from the norm and use different wild colors on builds. The only suggestion I could make and it was just an observation while watching you color the letters for Legend. When you were choosing your colors it looked like for a moment you were going to choose a neon-magenta for outlining your letters when they were still blue at 27:24. Since you changed from that original design what about coloring your black outline for your blue background in a neon-magenta and maybe outline Legend with it? Aside from being curious about what it'll look like I have no further input. It's just a suggestion and nothing more. It's awesome looking. :)

@MichaelSabo 25 күн бұрын

It's not a bad idea. I did mess around with the outlining for a bit - there's a good bit of the designing that I didn't screen record (it was about 7 hours total 💀) I just liked it better every time I removed it for some reason.
