all this work and it really only cost me $50 in sand and some PB Blaster for the axle locknut, also twenty dollars to remove back tires and re-install them...

just need to get the blingstar bumper and the ac blackline nerf bars and some grips and she will be good to go!!

thanks for looking...


thanks,

no doubt i would do that frame yellow with black accents... to me you can take basic colors like black and red and really make something look sharp by just being strategic about where you do your colors... or yellow in your case...

kept the swingarm skidplate to avoid her tearing shi* up...

[dang400ex]

looks like you powdercoated the stock a-arms????

I didnt think that it could be done.

sure it can the ball joint rubbers do not melt in 400Â_° heat... got a little grease run out and hell i actually accidentally did not tape of the rubber and they got coated red too... it should flake off after a little riding...

I think the heat issue is with the rubber or plastic parts inside the ball joint, not the outer rubber boot.

Looks nice though:)
