    Remarkable work !
    This is a good inspiration for my 420 AXC Evo : Fox Forx, alu swing arm...
    I love your wheels in black, it is a good idea to treat them as a single part for a lazy man like me!

    I need one of those washers! Do you know where I can find one?

    Nice write up on this project! :thumbsup:

    After the faulty trial fit up, I know now the thin washer is the one to use... note that it will fit perfectly into the rubber seal area around the bearing itself....:

    Hey There, CAn you tell me the process of how you did your wheels? did you blast or strip them together or take all the spokes out and then re assemble. They look great and i want to do it to mine so i can powder coat. Mine are scratched and rusty...

    Thanks Chris

    Chris - I had these proffesionally dipped and then bead blasted complete less bearings.

    If I was to do it over, and money was not an object.... I would do this: Buy new Black Ano 18" Takasago Wheels, and Black spokes/nipples from Buchanan and powdercaot the Hub and relace.

    This bike is not together yet ... but my long and untested concern is that the black will come off and when you adjust the spokes it will ruin the finish. However, I am ok with a ratted look on the wheels....

    I had the brake backer plates professionally powdercoated by a freind of mine in Red powdercoat...

    Damn .. base ball season is over... maybe I need to dig this out again.

    If you don't have one I would suggest looking up the PN# in the tech Reference section here and then try and order one from Halls in SpringField Illinois or machine one yourself. Unfortunately , looking athis with hindsight, I failed to document the actual physical dimensions of the washer here. IF I strip it off again, and I well may when I weld on my damper post mopunt..., I will notate those dimensions here for you.

    Thanks for the kind words... this project has been sitting now for the better part of a year now... time to get it going again.

    Good to see you're going to dig it back out.
    Mine went for it's maiden run a fortnight back. I can't believe I lived without it for over 6 years.
