Thanks for the tips guys. It sure helps when you start fresh.

Well I wish it was a WestCoast swinger no doubt about it. Ever since I had seen mikeinlongisland's real deal westcoast swinger I said F' it Im gunna make my stocker look like that. So here it is in Super Mirror White powdercoat. X.Systems westcoast decals and tri-z bushings. Got This Rag with ronnie's stainless caps and swinger bolt. OEM chain sliders from Yamaha and some stainless socket heads for looks. Other than that shes OEM. This will have a OMF swinger guard when Bones gets it done! Next update won't be for a while. I have to travel out of the country and by the time I get back I will have a frame ready and hope to have a roller by May.

ahaha that looks awsome man, it would fool me

Didn't expect these to be back in ONE day turn around from the local anodizer! Talk about service. Damn fast and nicely done. $40 bucks to have all of this done. I had to break up all the bling from stainless and billet. So I had these done. Note to anyone anodizing Hagen's clutch covers. They are not T-6061 aluminum some foreign alloy so they tell me.


And I couldn't bare to resist throwing some bolts in and dreaming

Oh yeah! Looks sweet! Thats a nice price from the anodizer too. Wish I had a reasonable coater/anodizer around here....

I've got lots of stuff I want the zinc chromate plated on and some aluminun goodies too. Humm, why hasn't anyone anodized a complete motor??

[evand]

man that thing is going to be top notch when its done!thats cheap for all that work 2

I tried having the cases, cylinder, and head anodized on my Tecate a few years back. It doesnt work. The aluminum that is used for these pieces is basically a very poor quality with lots of other metals mixed in. The best way to describe it is that it looks like dirty copper. I had them done in blue. High quality billet pieces that are machined turn out like the sprock head. Bright and high luster.

Steve if I had a complete billet motor I would anodize it in a heartbeat! Problem with anodizing is there are too many contaminates in casted aluminum. Even with different alloys, high manesium or high copper aluminum can wreak havoc on the color of choice. That stator cover from Hagen had to be dipped 3 times before they get there "brew" right when they coated it. They say it takes best to 6061 aluminum. The shinier the better they say as well. If its polished like a mirror the better finish you achieve. Steve if you ever need anything billet done let me know man. I work about a mile from this place. Quick cheap easy quality!

[honda250sx]

Ed beat me too it. You are correct! I thought about polishing my lower triple and having it done but instead it will be just polished.

[honda250sx]

Get em while there HOT boys! Bout time we started having all the luxuries of the Honda's. These look so great Mike! I donated my hoses months ago to Mike's efforts at E.D.S Motorsports in the U.K. If you have seen his work on the ATC 250Rs its top notch. These will look SICK with the new MOSH's blue plastics!!!!!!

[Tri-ZNate]

These will look SICK with the new MOSH's blue plastics!!!!!!

[honda250sx]

[tri-Z ripper]

Had some spare time to get into the tri-z engine this weekend. Sure glad I did. This engine has had some water in it for sometime. It does appear to have had the waterpump gear and mechanical seal changed recently. After removing the clutch and everything else related to that side of the engine. I was able to drill some holes in the plywood I had between sawhorses and lay the engine flat. I then took a Razrblade grinding disc and cut off the swinger bolt that was frozen in the cases. I was then able to drive out the pin that was frozen in. It got even better when i split the cases. The tranny was completely encased in sludge and grime. Either way oh well. This will get all new OEM bearings and seals. Not the ebay bargain bearings and no name seal kits. Anyone who is familar with yamaha knows they run teflon around the sealing surface of the seals. Tranny shafts and gears look good. They will get cleaned up in a sandblaster that i use walnut shells in. Much for forgiving on delicate parts . Frame will be back tomorrow from powdercoat and then its only a matter of time before there will be a roller!!!!
