Day 7: I found a pair of wheels from a friend in Ohio that had a blue warp 9 hub, as well as a pair of oversized spokes and nipples. I went ahead and traded him a Bell Moto 9 helmet for the wheels. Haha.





Day 8: I received my forks and shock back from Pro-Action of Illinois. Jason really took care of me and was a huge help to my build!









Day 9: I took apart the pair of wheels I had received from my friend in Ohio. I decided to re-use the spokes and nipples considering they were close to brand new. I took scotch bright and WD-40 to each spoke and then used a wire wheel on a dremel tool to clean up and polish the nipples. Here's the end result



The dirty set on the left, polished set on the right





The nipples and spokes all together after polishing both.



Day 10: I had spoke with my graphics guy a few days prior to the build about possibly doing a bike and he was on top of the case. Fred Slickmeyer with Renegade Designs is your man for the best graphics for the most fair price. I originally planned to use the UFO Restyle kit but the more I looked at it the more I did not like the side number plates. So I decided to use the stock style plastic with an updated front end.



This is the base that Fred started with. Neat, but the restyle kit was not for me.





Another idea we played around with, I really liked the colors but wanted something more basic for color.





This is the kit that Fred and I decided on. Absolutely perfect for what I wanted and really complimented the black frame and forks.



Day 11: I ordered a pair of DID Dirt Star black wheels. I figured they would look great with the blue hub and polished spokes and nipples. I did not have a truing stand so Ty Tyrrell helped me out with the wheels.









There's the finished product, wrapped in a Michellin star-cross tire.... Lets be honest they're the best tires around haha.



Day 12: a few more parts arrived, I ordered plastic... The polisport mix and match kit. I wanted all blue but ended up with a black front plate and fork guards. I got a vforce, and then the outlaw racing full bike anodized parts package. I also got new levers, a blue cycra guide plate, as well as a lot of other small parts.



Day 13: my order through my sponsor MIKA metals arrived, I used their handlebars, brake pads, sprockets, chain, and new bar pad.





Day 14: I ordered a new clutch for the bike. Used the stock Yamaha clutch... So instead of pretending to have something expensive inside with a Hinson or boyesen clutch cover, I used my stock one and polished it.
