If you go for the anodised finish have it polished first ... the finish coat looks deeper and has a shine to it that normal anodised finishes don't have.

I hope you`ve had the rear stand painted by now and I trust that you will shortly be having those wheels painted black as you were instructed to do on another thread!!!!

powder its the only way.
anodising wont last on a swing arm

Good point,

Still opt for black though...

While your doing it, why not get it lengthened a la corse arm??

difficult to say as I had some other stuff done at the same time.
I recon about £40 - £50 half on the powder other on the shot blast,
then you are going to need new bearings ?

Get it done as close to the origional finish as possible, thats what looks best, the Italians knew that when they did em.
Another thing the Romans did for us.

That's a thing of beauty, that swinging-arm, keefer!

Money well spent.
