Oops

Could you drop me a mail with the bike details and i'll take a look tomorrow for you.
I'll tell you at the end of the week if it's necessary to remove the bearings before powder coating......................... i've got one being done this week.
I always leave bearings in, especially if they are going to knacker when removing them. It makes the masking easier. Use them as possible sacrificial masks. I make further masks to cover them, and the powder coaters "understand" and sometimes you get away with it.
Do the same with seals and inspection glasses on engine cases. Makes post paint assembly a lot easier. It takes ages to clean cured powder coat from seal and bearing faces
