Frame, swing arm, shock spring, and hubs are off visiting Mr. Powder Coater right now. Should be back before Christmachaunakwanzaka. (Hopefully I figure out how to take better pics by then)
Right now I'm polishing the end tanks on my radiators, starting to look good. I really wanted new plastics, but I'd have to grow a money tree first. I know of a few guys that make graphics, so that'll be after the holidays.
Wait and see what happens!!

I hope you pressed the bearing races out of the steering stem?

I hate people who cut corners.

Races out, all bearings out of swingarm and hubs. New bearings on the way (even though these were still perfect). Polishing my radiators now, trying to decide if I "need" new rims lol. Rear took some shots when I got a flat, but not too bad. We'll see...

If it isn't broke, take it apart and find out why.
