Took the slingy frame, swingarm, forks, top yoke, both wheels and a couple of other small bits and pieces for powder coating to a local place near me - £150 the lot. As for your swingarm - Black is the only way to go....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Goff Posted August 9, 2008 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2008 Here you go - how it was when we got it: How it looks now, 2 engines later: It now has an R1 subframe on it which is being chopped off again and raised up by about 2 inches. Seat unit, frame and mudguards are pearl white. Electrics just been finished. Polished frame, polished casings, nice upside down forks etc etc etc. Cant decide on a headlight though - got 2 at mo, Hayabusa one and a Gilera one - hmmmm.....decisions decisions. Should be finished by October - just bough a crash damaged Bandit 600 too......next!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted August 9, 2008 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2008 Goff, which powder coaters in manchester? I could do with a decent one nearby rather than bingley. I tried chicago powder coaters in stalybridge and they were sh!t, and another in broughton who were too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
