Admin Alex Posted December 2, 2003 Author Admin Share Posted December 2, 2003 Well at last my frame is in the paint shop being painted They said that laquer would just peel off after about 6 months, and they explained to me that normally they are painted and laquered. I was pretty confident that it was just laquered, so they asked me to phone up yamaha to check. Well i spoke to yamaha uk, and they told me that the frames undergo a chemical treatment at the factories which leaves a clear coting on them, he didnt know what the process was called, he said the only thing he could say was near to it was anadising. Didnt really want to get it anadised mainly because of the fact that it dulls the alloy, and its expensive. Found out thought that my dads mates friend does it, so took it down there and he said he would do it for £50 brilliant i though, but they realised they couldnt do it anyway becasue of the pressed in steel bearing sleeves So now my bike is going look like an alloy wheel Well at least i will be able to start putting it back together come next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator YamaHead Posted December 24, 2003 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2003 Well If that just doesn't F#ck Up your day! :evil: ........Sorry to hear that M8 Is there any Frame Straightening outfits around your area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted December 24, 2003 Author Admin Share Posted December 24, 2003 There is a place a couple of hours away, but i would rather try and get another frame then pay to get it straightened, similar price. But it is easier to swap the frames then it is to make it a rolling chasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got an full 750 exup exhaustpipe for 40€ + 28€ freight. not bad. And my new R6 seat came for 20,50€, R1 full racefairing for 195€ so they do have quite tempting bargains there. Still missing R1 headlights and a nice set of Keihin FCR´s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
