Just thought I'd share the progress of my bike this year from a long winter's nap. I chose a red frame this year along with my usual polishings. It is 75% complete and will post final pics when done in about another week. Typpyt http://photobucket.com/darinshusky
Thanx for the comments! Kelly, that's what I was thinking of yours from that big fork job! I know, I know, look better with a set of Motoz on it!. Typpyt
Looks great buddy! Show bike quality Did you tape off all the threaded holes in the frame before powdercoating or did you sacrifice a few bolts? I'm interested in getting my frame coated too.
PC, The only thing that was taped off was the stem races/inside the stem. Also there is tape under the powder coat, to remove some day and access the serial number. I used taps to clean out all the thread holes. Any place where the swing arm and etc hit the frame or the big swing arm bolt. I used a flat file to remove the paint (built up heavy) on the frame bushing (swing arm wouldn't fit between engine case and frame) and then cleaned the hole out with a round file, so bolts would go thru. I had to remove paint for coil to ground and etc.... Thanx again for all the comments! It was all worth it for $150 buckaroos. Actually, I kicked around an idea to Nickel Plate the frame? Maybe next year? Or Cr125? Motorhead, Didn't you do yours in white? What did yours run ya?
