Lakelanier76 1 Posted September 26, 2021 I am a new member. I recently got a 1998 honda 450es. Definitely has seen better days. But I just removed all plastics and racks to have them painted. Currently at my friends shop to have it gone through. Other than no brakes, the lcd screen is shot. It will be a work in progress but will post pictures when it's done. I will wash off the Georgia clay off the frame , sand, primer and paint where necessary. Ordered new brakes and wheel cylinders, seat upholstery, master cylinder , brake line, and new front and rear fenders. Currently have a 1985 chevy c10 in the paint shop. So I'm using the plastics as a paint sample. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcsman 1,404 Posted September 27, 2021 Hey Lake, welcome to our forum. I have the exact make, model as you, have had it a couple years now. Mine was in pretty decent shape and even better now as I rebuilt the engine. How is your engine/tranny? We have seen these old girls in alot worse shape than yours from your pics. There is a wealth of knowledge here especially on the older Foremans. We also have a chat, mostly folks there in the evening, join in sometime to intro yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
