This is my story and in progress build of a dream of mine. Its built almost entirely from good deals from RDC classifieds and the swap meet. Which being from South Dakota makes it hard to get part and look at them ect. Its great this community is great. I wont have all that many new parts on it. I miss clicked once and lost a hundreds of photos, which are and will be kinda repetitive and may have to look at the one or two things different. I learned on projects like these you have to see each little thing as being done to keep you into them. Most people don't know that one lil part may have took hours and trying to plan ahead and then maybe wont work. I knew it was going to take lots of time and $$,$$$ which takes more time.
I had been hunting for something for at least a year. I had just done a bigger job and was excited i can be more solid if i found something. Sure enough i found this project. I knew once i got it it would take time to accumulate parts ect with a plan and wouldn't pry wouldn't work on if for atleast a year. Well this is about the time we had some nice march days up here and thought we should go ride dirtbikes. Bad idea since i have been staying off them for this reason i now had bad broken leg/ankle. So off we went to go pick it up with my dad and my son and me in a nice splint awaiting my surgery in a week for what wound up to be 2 plates and 17 screws when i got back. Which accompanied the other preexisting equipment in that part of my foot. So yeah, no more bikes again. Oh this also delayed the build by lots. Luckily i had already planned i would accumulate stuff for the year, which wound up to be about 2 before i really started on it. I put it in one of my dads sheds and looked at it maybe 3 times in the first year. once started its been off and on.
I got this as a frame and front suspension. Lots done but lots left. It was built by Viktor Doktor. AKA @DOK-TECH. Unfortunately the owner had to get rid of it. I think it was started in 2010. It was started to be a 7200 so its that width. As a dream it would be nice to do real desert races but for us distance ect makes that a lil harder. So my plan was to put a LS motor in it since that's way cheaper for me to get power then a v6. It also fit in the hole, which I checked before I got it. Also to runa turbo 400. Kind of neat I thought since this is about the time 6100s started up. Hey another dream, which I would pry never be able to do but just take a sealed motor.
So anyway here it goes, ill spread out some stuff and when it gets to where iam at it will be slooow Takes time for sure. I got it in 2012. Thanks to my friends Jason Paule at Twisted Customs for his shop space, equipment, tools,time, and lots of help. Also to Nate Oyler for all the time and help. Also to all of you on RDC for all the info i could find and for what everyone has shared. Also to the ones i got parts from on the classifieds and swapmeet. And thanks to @Curt LeDuc for the swapmeet.
This is why I kind of call this the recycler.
