I just paid $250 to have mine sand blasted and powder coated. The color was "starlit red" and was considered a specialty color so it cost about $50 more than a regular color. I used paint stripper to remove most of the factory coating to cut down on cost of prep work on the frame. http://armstrongpowdercoating.com Hope this helps.
Either of those sites should have about every bolt/nut/bearing/gasket. I'm doing a frame up restore too and just got a complete bolt kit from alloyboltz.com. Pretty good stuff. Check that out too.
I got mine from a parts supply store like advanced auto, car quest, oreilly's. I think it was around $40. For no more than I use it, it has always worked fine.
Either bikebandit.com or rivamotorsports.com will have what your looking for. I tend to go with bikebandit.com because shipping is usually much quicker. They have a pretty good oem parts finder that gives a picture and name of everything you should be looking for. Hope this helps.
Huskyohilux thanks for all your help. This is what I've got after putting the dura blue in. I think its right but I haven't lock tighted anything togethor just yet ... seems to look right. Without any instructions its about the best I can figure out.
Getting ready to install my dura blue axle. Just curious if anyone had any pictures of theirs installed since it came with basically no instructions. If I could look at a picture I think it would help out quite a bit. Anyone?
FINALLY got it off!! I let it soak in WD-40 for a few hours and using a block of wood and hammer. It moved millimeter by millimeter but finally came off. Not sure why its so tight but maybe its a good thing because I really won't have to worry about it working loose while riding. Thanks for everybody's help. :biggrin: :woot: :beer:
Where is the best place to buy dmc exhaust and 2 into 1 carb setups? Can't find a DMC dealer in Ky so I'm going to have to order online. I was thinking about buyng my 2 into 1 carb setup from trinity but I read a thread on here that said about trinity ...
So where do I go to order these ???
Yes I removed the clip retainer. But it won't slide right off. I guess its just a tight fit with it and the splines. The mallet wouldn't do any justice so I'm going to try a piece of wood and hammer. Hopefully I won't tear anything up. I wonder if I should contact RMATV about it or what. It shouldn't be on there this tight I wouldn't think and its brand new.
Did you have to use a wooden block and a hammer or anything? Mine seems like it is on very tight. I tried with a mallet and couldnt' get it to budge. Is it normal for it to be this tight right out of the box? I just wanted to make sure it slides off before I start beating it to death. haha
Does this piece come off the axle? If not then how the heck do I install this thing, because the splines on one side are too big to go through the bearings .. and this wont either ?? Confused ...
I have an twin row round carrier .. any help ?
