Any Polished Their 50?

I was planning on powdercoating mine, but thinking of going the polished route for a different touch, especially if no many have done it...

Please post pics if you have done it, I'd love to see it!

Re: Any Polished Their 50?

Are they really steel? Aluminum can be welded as well, so could be aluminum... Anyone know for sure?

Re: Any Polished Their 50?

Frame is cheep pot metal steel and you can PC it, but the engine is aluminum and you can go to town on that.

Re: Any Polished Their 50?

For some reason I assumed it was all aluminum frame like the big bikes... Oh well, may do the engine parts though for some bling. damn, that engine is sick!

Any clue on the swing arm material?

Nah, way too much cash to get that done. Powdercoating is the only way I'd do it outside of polishing. One of them will get done though!

Re: Any Polished Their 50?

Is swingarm not aluminum as well? What about fork tubes?

If I can't polish them and powdercoat translucent black on top of that then my next option will be anodzing them. Assumine it can be done to steel.

Re: Any Polished Their 50?

no you cant anodize steel, but you can pick up allum frames off the china bikes (and swingers)

anodizing a full frame at the place i got some work done will probably run aroudn 400 or so.
