What does it cost to get the bolts re-nickel plated. I just bought all new OEM bolts for my bike on the last rebuild. Just curious.

Hi Chris,

Chris, it does'nt cost me anything, well i give the guy $10-$20.00 not that he wants it,(he normally tries to give me it back) but just as a good will kind of thing, that way i know i can go back again if i need more parts re platted,

He works for a large company that make bolts/studs mainly for the oil industry, he actualy works the platting bath/machine, i dont even have to go through the supervisor now, when i come in they know why am there, and i just ask him if he would be willing to do it, and he allway's says "ye - no problem". So i allways give him some beer money for his efforts.

He has done rear axle's, hubs, lock nuts basically any part of the 250's which have been platted siver or gold he has re done for me.

I still buy some New bolts for my build's mainly from dgould here on the board, but as you know, to buy a full set of OEM bolts, nuts,t-washers,ect,ect,costs a small fortune, and there's not much to show for it when it arrives.

On my 85 bike i bought alot of new bolts from cal atv, then as i started buying/shipping parts over from the states, i noticed the used bolts ect, were far better quality than what i had been using and getting platted before, mainly the parts from the states had not seen salt water/air (most atc were used on the beaches here in the North East of the UK, ie - salt water) and were'nt as rusty or corroded like the UK used parts, so after a clean up and replate the used US OEM bolts look as good as new.

So now every bolt on all my trikes are OEM.

Glad you like the build,

G.

Well I asked my wife what she though of putting 18 G's into a wheeler and she said what do you think about a divorce... To be honest I told her to let me think about it over night and I would let her know in morning. I am not going to be excited to get on the boards when this build is done, that is unless someone can compete on the how high you raised the bar. When are the tripples going to be done so we can see this thing in roller form.

Hey Man,

Am glad you like the bike, am glad i posted so many pics or i would'nt get such a laugh,
You should have told here the same as me - there's only 2G's lying in it, think she tells you how much she spends on handbags & Shoes?

Anyway looks like you have thought about an alternative before,

If it comes down to that i guess a blow up doll will do for the night.

Dude, am overseas working at the moment, so hopefully when i get home in a week or so the triples will be ready, then i'll get the bike rolling, i do have some machining involving the front axle ect, but once the triples are on, i'll get the controls mounted

So, thats about all the pics for the moment.

Man everytime I look at this thread, and the pictures, I'm in awe. I've seen some pretty insane builds over the years on here but this one, this one sets the bar in a whole new galaxy.

Cheers Billy,

Wait till you see the triples and Handlebars/controls - Killer!!

Like i said before, am trying to build a trike that Honda may race, if they were still
into ATC's - 2007 450 HRC bike.

Also,
First and foremost the last two Honda's i've built have been restorations and i've had to follow the guidelines lets say, set by Honda/Factory Honda, ie my 85 which is an exact copy of there 250r pictured in the sales brochure showing all Optional extras.

Then my 86 HRC bike is basically a copy of the 85 HRC bike ridden by Marty Hart & the 86 HRC bike ridden by Brian Fuller.




The 450 will be everything I WANT in a race trike.

Really glad you guys are enjoying the build.....will get more pics soon.

Thanks for the compliments!

Gordon.
