Hey Mike,
Powder Coating -

If you want help wit hthe fiberglass lemme know. Im no pro, but ive done a bit on racebody work in the past.
I am willing to come and help. The thing that I am best at is passing the beers out.
I've got fiberglass experience too.. let me know. For PowderCoating, Good Hues in Derry NH. 603-434-8034 These guys do a lot of powdercoating for some of the customer builders around. They also are the ones that set up at Motorcycle Night in Lowell. Meantion you saw them there and see if you get a break. I looked at their stuff and the quality is VERY good !!
thanks guys!
I might take you guys up on your offer for help!
And bill, ill provide the beer, feel free to pass it out:drink:
Are you sure you want to powder coat or make anything pretty? What if someone else tries to inadvertently kill you?
then ill just a stretched busa and be done with the track and just go pose a lowell once a week:idea:
well some updates....
Klepsta did an awesome job and made me a castle socket tool for free so now I can remove the swingarm! And he also took my new swingarm out to get powdercoated. I replaced the battery tray, and started to strip all the stickers off the plastics so I can start the bodywork and finally paint. Figure while I have it apart ill do a few more things to it.
-520 chain and sprockets
-Relocate rear master cylinder
-SS brake lines (front and rear)
-Custom front sprocket cover (so I can access it)
All I have left to purchase is:
-fairing stay
-and parts for my rearsets
its coming along well!:beerbang:
Just remember that if you end up doing a lot of track days, that you check that 520 chain often.
Good to see the progress.
yea will do! I'm pretty good with the upkeep of my bike! Most guys run them over at 1000rr.net/us with no issue whatsoever.
There's no benefit to them, the chain and sprockets will just wear faster and more likely to snap the chain and break teeth on the sprocket, esp if it's aluminum. The power in modern 600's even call for a 525. The only plus for a 520 setup is you're more likely to find it at a trackside vendor if you're looking to change gearing.
buying a supersprox sprocket, dont have to worry about wear since its an aluminum carrier with steel teeth (pete runs one) and the tensile strength on the DID and EK chain is more than enough if I keep up with maintaining the chain properly (which I do).
I know on here most people don't care for a 520 chain/sprockets on a liter bike, but as stated tons of people run them with no issue whatsoever on their 1000's. So it doesn't bother me at all, I've done my research

they even have a lifetime warranty for their sprocket that if the steel teeth start to wear that they will replace it for free (you pay 5$ up front for it) for as long as you have that same sprocket set up.

Pretty good deal in my opinion.
i can give you a hand installing the chain, even though you're ugly
:wub:
Jim do you even have a chain tool?
I thought all you owned was a plethora of chain cleaning products
