Puzzle on my Jackpiner

[Lew Mayer]

YES, it would be. But that's only my opinion.

Hi Larry,
I agree with Lew.  Leave it original (silver).  

[G Ellis]

Larry I think I would leave it silver, but its your bike. A lot of hours went into that bike.[][] It looks great in the office. Later Gary

Larry, on Sachs motors I bead blast the head and cylinder and leave raw aluminum. Paint the cases with Duplicolor DE 1650 Cast Coat aluminum. That is the combo used on the April and May bikes with the exception of the jug on the iron barrel motor painted black.

Dennis,

Thanks for the info.  I suspect that's how I'll go, too.

Great story about the rear brake.  How much fun is this stuff?!  Makes me feel sorry for golfers (on many levels).  I played golf a lot for years, and never had as much fun all put together as one afternoon on  a dirt bike.

Gary,

I'm leaving it silver.  I wasn't anything but just curious for some opinions.

Yes, that bike looks great sitting in Dad's office.  It's running great, too.

Thanks for the input.  Hope your ankle is nicely on the mend.

Jackpiner is starting easy and running like a top.  I installed an Oring (per John Durrill's suggestion), and installed a #40 Pilot Jet (per Dave McCullough's suggestion) which replaced a #30 Pilot jet.  The bike started on the first kick after that, and idled effortlessly.   Thanks Dave!!!!!

This is a special group of people.  I appreciate all of you.

Gouda, would also like to send a kudos to DJ for that Duplicolor cast alum. paint code, it has a unique greenish/pewter hue to it and is going on some triple trees and M-zoke fork sliders[]
Thanks DJ, Tom....
