Re: powder coating
I completely understand CYBORG.
The more computing I do the more I have trouble in the maze of things I'm sposed to remember.
If I ever get O'le Blue up and running, one of my first trips will be to run out to Muskeegon.
Thanks for the invite.

Re: powder coating
sounds what I will be doing the third week of November when I venture out to OK.... take the boat out of the garage.... take the bikes out..... move junk around and sweep the floor.... put everything back in again
most likely will also change the belts on the '78 because I cannot recall when I did that last, although I imagine they will look okay

Re: powder coating
Very Nice work.
I didn't think you could pc the inside of bolts and get them the proper torque. I thought it would somehow chip off like paint.

Re: powder coating
Wow! Now I am confused.....I was going to consider sending my forks for polishing, but now that I see the powder coated ones I don't know which way to go. I have to choose between a great polishing service or a great powder coating service!
Thanks guys!! Now what do I do?

Re: powder coating
always a dilemma.... polishing means you do have to "spit and polish" to keep up appearances, but shine is nice, powdercoat and you do have to clean, but it is durable
