John, Thanks for the painting tips. Yeah, I figured I'd only need a small volume paint gun as motorcycle parts are small. Also, I have a really crappy compressor, old thing, that takes about 10 min. just get up to 90lbs pressure and usually only gets up to 60lbs. |
than 40-45 lbs pressure anyway. The HVLP types are obviously lower, I've
never used them. Another tip is to have some type of moisture trap in
your air line. A friend of mine who has restored several Indians says he
gets fine results out of rattle cans.
| Lube is a Spanish bike with a German NSU engine. It is my understanding that some guys that used to work in Germany for NSU moved to Spain and started the Lube motocycle company, 1950s or so. Not sure of my history on this. But anyway, my friend has this old Lube, which is very funky looking, and I need a Wintertime distraction so the Lube might be it. It's a 250cc two stroke. Just this year bought and sold a Benelli Cobra 125cc two stroke, wish I had not sold her she was way cool looking. |
says that they were made from 1949-1965, and that the head of the
Spanish factory, Louis Bojarano, built NSU engined two and four strokes
from 49cc to 246cc into his own frames. When NSU gave up motorcycle
production Lube made their own two-strokes.
Have a great time with it.
