Here are the tank decals that Sonrisers made for me.  They are made out of the high quality car wrap vinyl.  Thanks James!

Looks good Rick, how did the install go? Are you happy with the colors and thickness. Looks good from the pics, how do you think they compares to the decals you got from Wayne?

I did one side this morning.  It took about 45 minutes.  I had it about 90% on, and decided to move it a little to the front and down.  I used a heat gun to soften it a bit and it went on pretty smoothly.  It was easier to work the vinyl when it was a little warm.  I will get to the other side in the next couple of days.

I finally got the sportsman out of the basement and into the garage!  I am going to try to get the engine put together in the next week or so.  Hopefully I have everything for it.  Here is what she looks like now.

Looks great so far, kinda has that bultaco look with those tires.
But on a sidebar, I'm going to ask like everyone likes doing. Is that a motorized Coke box or just a iced box sitting there?   ???

It was a motorized cooler at one time, but somebody stripped it long before we got it.  It actually belongs to my son, he collects some coke stuff.  One day we are going to restore it.

Yea Rick I've heard that line before, some twenty years ago when I hauled my Coke ice box out of the woods to be restored. Still needs to be restored and being used as a plant stand by the Wife. One day it will be done by who I dont know. Lol ::)

Started putting the motor together today.  I installed new bearings, ported the crank, and assembled the lower end.  I checked piston clearance, and it hit the top of the head.  The previous builder decked the case to increase the compression ratio.  To overcome this, I took a little off the head of the new piston.  I need to get some hardware, and I will install the piston and cylinder, but first I will clean up the exhaust ports and transfer ports.  Always looking for a little extra horsepower!
