Damm....and here I thought that was expensive. Ive got a buddy thats opening up a powder coating company....hes gonna charge me $65 to do all the pegs and brackets(and the lil stuff with it....shifter, break...ect) and then $50 a rim.

that does seem a little high. i was thinking around 40 bucks to do the pegs and like 45/50 to do each rim.

gotrice, do you know the color code for the gold your getting ? or the name or the manufacture of it ?

Looks nice gotrice


There are so many colors available. I checked the pearlized blue/purple I guess it was called. Thought that would look nice maybe on one of the blue rides.

well this was no buddy and i checked around and this was the second lowest. the first would have had a turn around time of 3 weeks. no way was i waiting. the company i had do it only took a day. dropped them off that day,delivered to me the next. well worth the few extra $$$$$ as for the pegs, it seemed a little high, but the turn around will be the same. u win and loose.



as far as the color, pm me with that question and i will get back to u on monday when the shop opens, k.


Not sure if im getting the pegs done, i have my eye on sato rear sets, we will see. lol

Run out of things to do???? Hmmm that would be a sad sad day. we must all remember this is my stolen bike/winter/divorce depression im going through. lol when it is riding season, i wont be doing anything but riding. I lost my bike for over a week last riding season due to paint, thats not happening this yr. lol



Thanks for all the support fellow family members.

Oh yes, the stolen bike (almost forgot about that, she was a beauty!). But this one is looking much nicer! No need to worry though, when you run out of stuff to do on yours, I'll have to send you mine to keep you busy! (I know, sounds like a crap load of fun to mod a 500!)

That is awesome!!!! Please tell me you're gonna put a Hot Wheels sticker on it for him!

I'd like to upgrade my daughter soon (she has a battery operated three wheeler right now), maybe next year............

As for my bike - I will be losing my mod virginity - replacing the stock windscreen real soon
