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! :cheers

Re: Any Polished Their 50?
 
Are they really steel? Aluminum can be welded as well, so could be aluminum... Anyone know for sure?

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

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?

I'm pretty sure you could get the frame chrome dipped.........

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! :)

duplicolor high temp engine paint for the frame/swing arm. Durable and comes out mint... for under 15.00 ;) Its all in the prep work

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.

I almost sold this bike and then i changed my mind. I hate to sell it. so much money invested in it.

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.
