I'm wondering if anyone can help me out finding some local anodizers that would do some motorcycle parts?
TIA

My dad used to be an anodizer and was really good at it. I wish I had paid a little attention :)

It's sorta knew.
I wanted to post up an FYI on this - mostly to advise people of what I think is a very competive price
So I dropped the stuff off at Central Metal Finishing based in North Andover and Windham (Windham does all the anodizing I think) this morning.
The charge was $125 for the batch!!! Just about one fifth the cost of the other place I checked (Duralectra :o )
Heres what I had done
- fork tubes
- CC top triple
- CC Risers
- CC pressure plate
- CC Cluth cover
- Ride Height Adjuster
They only do HardCoat in clear and black and I'll let you know how it turns out.

Ok So I wanted to bring this thread to a close by posting a pic of the work and I will say that I am extremely pleased with the work that was done for the price. They even went so far to plug all the threads so that any tight tolerance screws wouldn't bind.

I'm pretty sure it is black, gold and clear...
aha!
i thought i read that they only did black and clear.
gold would allow me to continue with my unhealthy obsession...

I think gage was speaking about the company he used.
They do mostly industrial stuff, so probably don't have a lot of call for gold.

The parts look nice Gage! [thumbsup]
It's good that you did the hard coat too because the Mil-spec sucks ass. Just ask Cyclecat. [roll]
