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  :)

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.

They used to do our chromating and black hardcoating.

They do nice work. [thumbsup]

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.

very nice!
too bad they dont have more colors to choose from
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...
