lower houser a arms

[mx1791]

how much would it be to get lower houser a arms coated gloss white? thanks

[Pappy]

$35 + s/h

Primer base and top coat

[mx1791]

i romoved all the bushings and what not, but the balljoint is like built into the a arm, could you remove them and re-install them after pc? if so, how much would that cost?

i just dont wanna try to remove them myself couse i dont wanna rip the rubber boot

[Pappy]

Shouldnt be a problem. And as long as its not a huge issue getting them out, it wont cost any extra

[mx1791]

im gunna send all 4 a arms and my stock swing arm i guess to get pc'ed but i need to decide on a color..

anyway, my upper a arms have needle bearings, and i got all the needle bearings out of my swing arm/lower a arms, but the top a arms (yfz) where it bolts to the frame is solid all the way across so i cant use a socket and vice.. can needle bearings be left in for pc or do i have to get them out? thanks

[Pappy]

They need to come out as the burn off process will ruin them. If you cant get them out I can, but will need replacements to reinstall if you would like.

[mx1791]

i can probably get them out. id like to get everything shipped to you sometime this week, maybe tomorrow, ill let you kno. thanks

[mx1791]

if i wanna get all 4 a arms and stock swing arm pc'd granny smith green it would be $150 before shipping correct?

how much would you want total including return shipping? i wanna ship everything out tomorrow if thats cool

[Pappy]

$160 is fine

[d3ktrix]

Pappy, I'm going to throw some small parts into his box.

Rear Douglas Bead Lock Rings: Flat Black
Rear Grab Bar : Mirror Black

And maybe:
Lower A-arms : Mirror Black

Bill it together or separate, doesn't matter.
Thanks

[Pappy]

Will do!

[mx1791]

ok well i dont think i can get the top bearings out without ruining them and i only have 6 rides on these a arms so im just gunna leave them. i still wanna send my lowers and swinger though.

they are the blue housers, i think its just regular yamaha blue... you'll see the a arms once they come, do you think you could let me kno if you have a close enough match to there current color? im pretty sure a yamaha blue will match

i guess i need a price on:

lower a arms= yami blue?
swing arm= yami blue?

sorry for changing my mind alot, i just dont feel like messing up some parts when its not necessary. ya kno "if it aint broke dont fix it" haha

im leaving to ship them out now, along with w/e d3ktrix is sending

thanks

[Pappy]

LOL..no worries here, send what you'd like.

Lower arms candy blue $35
Swing arm candy blue $50

[mx1791]

ok candy blue sounds good!! my friends dad said he can more then likely get the bushings out of my uppers, so if he does ill just figure out what im doing with them then, maybe get them done silver like the frame

anyway, i got everything sent out, d3ktrix put in his grab bar and 2 beadlock rings, i shipped the box through fed ex

[d3ktrix]

Fedex #045698710201614

Should have it tomorrow.

[Pappy]

Ok, I will be lookin for'em!

[Pappy]

Recieved everything

Lower arms
2 beadlock rings
grab bar
swing arm

I will drop off the arms tomorrow to get the ball joints out, swing arm and rings are ready to coat and teh grab bar will be sent to burn off with the arms.

[d3ktrix]

koo

Will flat black hold up good on the beadlock rings? Or would a gloss/semi-gloss hold up better?

[Pappy]

Well, none of it will last forever ofcourse, but I cant honestly answer you. I havent ever done a set of rings in a Matt/Flat Black. I looked at the specs of the powder and it has a slightly lower impact rating then gloss. We can always try them and if they dont hold up I will redo them for you:p

[d3ktrix]

Lets go with gloss then.
Flat always feels like it can just scratch right off. I just picked it at first so it wouldn't show the imperfections in the rings, but that doesn't really matter.

Thanks

[Pappy]

Ok, just an update. Arms are back from having ball joints removed. As far as I know they are ok, but they sure needed grease bad. Very dry and scummy under the boot!

Off to stripping for these

[Pappy]

Arms are stripped, and I will be shooting the candy blue tomorrow evening.

Beadlock rings and grab bar are completed.

[d3ktrix]

Koo thanks for the update.

Bill the whole thing to me.
Just let me know how much my parts where so I know what Connor owes me.

[Pappy]

Swing arm is completed. Arms would have been done as well but I had a whole batch outgas on me and after stripping everything and recoating I ran out of time tonight:p I believe thats all that is left is the 2 lower arms, and will be done and ready to ship on monday. I will pm one of you a total

[d3ktrix]

Good stuff, payment sent, thanks

[mx1791]

hey pappy,i got the parts they look good. but i did`nt get the c clips for the ball joints back and i got about 8 small needle bearings and seals for the lower a-arms, there not mine i have mine in a bag in my room, i gave u just the ball joints with my a-arms. maybe this is someone else stuff?

[Pappy]

I will check with the man who does the removal and see if he has the clips or if they were reuasable

[Pappy]

Ok, it appears I mixed up your small parts with doc-bones...both houser. When he responds I will see if he can shoot them off to you in the mail and I will square up with him. He was replacing all parts but I am sure he wants his old parts back as well:p

[mx1791]

any word on whats going on? ill ship him his bearings/ball joints thats no problem. if i remember correctly, doc-bones lives pretty close to me.

[Pappy]

I havent heard back from him yet, he seems like a stand up guy so I dont see any problems with a switch.

[Pappy]

Ok, you should have the small parts tomorrow. He actually lives like 5 minutes from you but I didnt have # to call you!

[mx1791]

sounds good! yea as far as i knew, he lived right by "allstock" on here which is really close to me. does he want his old stuff back? ill drive it to him haha

[Pappy]

Dont throw it away, i would keep them as spares. he is leaving today for glamis so just hang on to them until he gets back
