Look on the FAQ page and search for image: http://www.kdxrider.net/forums/faq.php
I post pics by uploading to another site and linking to the photo using the "Img" button which I see above when replying or creating a new post. There are many image hosting sites. I prefer http://www.smugmug.com/, but also have some on photobucket.

IMHO the best way to paint plastics is to use a product called krylon fusion
it seems to hold up great

if you decide to paint the fuel tank be sure to seal the inside of it first with caswell gas tank sealer

(this TTR used to be blue)

Reproduction Plastics for these older bikes are available at DCplastics.com....Not super pricey either.

I had my ignition coil (stator coil) rewound locally here in South America. Actually made the bike run better.
Without some way to turn the coil body while the wire winds around it hundreds of times you are looking at a near impossible job.
