    Anodizing Aluminium

    Anyone here do anodizing? I'm almost done with rebuilding a Fox shock. The resovoir has faded badly. Need it anodized red. I'd rather pay somone on this board to do a quality job. Thanks

    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.

    I was wondering the same thing. I know some people on this board don't like gold wheels but I like them on a red 250R. For an extra set for roosting purposes i would love to have a pair of 10" ITPs anodized gold with a set of low profiles on it. Not to beat up the mint factories.
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    anodizing is tough.. you can find articles on the net on how to do it.. but its one of those things that if you do it wrong, you will destroy the part

    If you screw the anodizing up, just strip it off and then start over. I stripped the gold off a front wheel for my 250 using regular household lye and cold tap water. Kaysen

    Info for trick lookin parts go to SUMAX

    This is where I had my Tecate done. They did a mint job and its no backyard operation. They can do anything you want and dont bother with thier price list, its for Harlelys mostly. I saw both of you are in the NY area and these guys are around the Utica area. I noticed a few bikes there with anodized parts so I think they do it there, if not they know where. For a small part like that cant cost much. Go to this website and check it out, and give em a call they are real cool. I had my whole Tecate Acid Dipped, Glass beaded, Polished and Powder coated custom colors for $500 I want to Anodize a few more parts on my bike allso.
