Any chrome shops you guys know of in the Vancouver/Portland area?

Yeah I kind of had a feeling it would be best to do that…

Not sure why this posted twice, sorry about that guys. It said my browser connection failed and when I refreshed, it had my topic unposted. Admin please feel free to delete the duplicate thread if nobody responds in it.

A couple months ago I found a set of CPI pipes for a very good price in my area and I bought them for a new build once I have the dough. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for removing chrome from 2 stroke exhaust without screwing up the pipes?? If I can do it at home or something I’d prefer that to taking them to a chrome shop and having them remove the plating. The chrome on these is peeling pretty bad and I want to convert them to raw steel if possible. Any input is appreciated guys, let me know what you think. Thanks

When you say they’d be high, I'm assuming you’re talking about price? Also, can you explain a little bit more about wheel offset? What offset are the stock wheels?

Ok, this may have been covered before but I have searched and have not found anything. Does anyone know of an a-arm manufacturer that makes stock width a-arms that have replaceable ball joints? The ball joints on my stock arms are shot. I don’t want to widen the banshee with +2 arms, I ride some tight trails where it would be too tight of a fit. I know that I am sacrificing some performance by not going +2+1 long travel, but I like the stock width more for what I do. I have ridden banshees with +2 arms. Also, I don’t want to buy OEM arms on eBay if I can help it, since I’d like to be able to replace ball joints in the future if this is possible. Anyway, if anyone knows of arms that have replaceable ball joints that are stock width, or know of a manufacturer that would make some custom arms, please let me know.

Looking for a pair of nerf bars that are compatible with my IMS Roll Pegs. Preferably without built-on heel guards, I’m not a fan of heel guards that make the kicker area cramped. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks guys

Awesome that’s what I was hoping to hear. What wheels and tires are you running? (Size, number of paddles, etc.) Gonna run haulers but wanted a good idea of how many paddles and what size would be best

I should add that I mostly ride Oregon dunes so lots of trails/tree shots

Is it a bad idea to put a stock length swingarm on a Redline ported 421 serval cub with sniper pipes? Making 90+ hp, this quad will be ridden primarily on dunes, but now and then on dirt/trails. I’ve always liked the handling capabilities of a stock swingarm but not sure how it will be with paddle tires. I’d really prefer not to stretch it out too much it at all

How do these stock swingarm conversions compare/hold up compared to a new chromoly arm? Any input on this? Thanks

Awesome, that’s what I was wanting to know, thanks

Not referring to chain adjustment, I was meaning how do you actually secure the carrier if there are no pinch bolt tabs on the housing. Looks like my question was answered below though

This may be a stupid question, but I noticed on the JJ&A website that there are no tabs for the pinch bolts on their housing…how are you supposed to tighten/secure the carrier? Do you have to fabricate and weld tabs on yourself?
