coating

Hi guys, as far as I know there is a change in liner coating around model year 2003? Am I right or is there more precise and specific information. The reason I´m asking, I have the opportunity to buy a used 501 liner, but think to remember that to a certain model year it is very expensive...

Just a general inquiry really. Does anyone know somebody reasonably local to the Wirral (UK), who will take your bike, strip it down fully (no Liverpool jokes please... :wink: ), blast the frame, re-coat & re-build for a reasonable price (my Hussa)? Anyone have a ball-park price to expect for...

Hi, in Germany (Europe) we have a spezification for colours, called "RAL" for example: http://www.tacamo.de/pages/viewarticle- ... 626-1.html RAL 5010 Enzianblau My 1998 FE needs a new powder coating, the company works only with RAL colours. Is this the right one? Has anybody...

Husaberg 550E purchased new in 2007. On the very first startup, the engine made some horrible grinding noises. It turns out the the snap ring for the kickstart idler gear was missing or improperly installed. The idler gear bearing cage and rollers passed through the all primary gears...

I haven't been around much. This is due to not riding as a result of engine problems. I will put up a post soon with all the details. It will make interesting reading. Now to the current situation: The engine has a total of 41 hours on it, and this time is being assembled with it's second...

Hi Having the frame powder coated and was wondering what I should do about the ID plate on the frame, should I prise it off or mask it? And which would look better Semi Gloss or Gloss black?

Has anybody tried this and has an idea how good it works? http://www.swaintech.com/ for instance provides this service (found their ad in Cycle News). No, I don't intend to have my headers coated myself.

I have an 03 FE400 for which I sent off the suspension to Dick's Racing last year. They did the complete APS on the forks. I love them; way more compliant than stock and more adjust-ability for variations in riding. LOVE THEM! I just bought an 05 FE450E, and it has the factory option (?) of...

Has anyone tried http://www.jet-hot.com/or perhaps a different ceramic coating? Perfomance gains are interesting, but not really my objective. What I'm looking for is a way to lower the radiated exhaust temps. I've requested a price estimate for the highest temp JetHot 2000 in blue...

When I Get The Money And Garage Space I'll Rebuild The Berg Completely. I Would Like The Frame And Wheels Done In A Nice Metalic Dark Blue With The Swing Arm Polished And Coated In A Blueish Clear Laqure Along With The Handle Bars. Where Can I Get This Done In The Uk Without Selling My Kidney...

As I'm having my engine rebuilt I got around to looking at the frame and thought about touching up the chipped and rusty areas. To my horror I discovered that the paint is peeling off on the rear frame rails and there is alot of rust underneath what I thought was good. Is it worth getting the...
