If you can't make one, then you can get them off Ebay too

Got a few bits and bobs back from powdercoating..

Wheels done in black, fitted brand new bearings with my special home made bearing putter inner.



Got a pair of Pilot Road 2 waiting to go on tomorrow.

Rear....with newly cleaned cush drive rubbers.



Calipers done in gold, just need to get the dremel out and clean them up, then buy new pistons and seals.

Nice. Remember to run a drill bit though the caliper mounts

Hi Fraser I went to PPS in inverurie, they are really good, couldn't recommend them enough. It cost me £120 for my wheels and 3 callipers. Only thing is with them is you need to mask off everything that doesn't get touched if not they will just coat the whole thing!

I actually sprayed my forks with hammerite smooth gold paint, it leaves a great finish and should be quite tough. I couldn't be arsed stripping down the forks.

gimmie a shout if you want to come and see anything.

cool thanks might get my calipers off to them this week altho DIYing with hammerite is tempting! hopefully see ur finished product out on the road soon enough
