thanks! Lockdown is good for progress! I have finished the frame modifications to clear the carbs, and finished the fabrication on the rear subframe so it's off to the powder coaters tomorrow. I have also stripped the rear shocker so I can change the colour on the spring... not sure what to yet, but definitely not yellow! had to make a clamp as these are strong springs and I have the utmost respect when working with them under this much tension, hence the beefy plate and studs! And here is the engine...     |

Really like those manifolds. They appear to have more volume than stock carb manifolds which is good for the intake port to cylinder volume ratio. 👍

yes, they are 41mm inside diameter so quite a bit bigger than standard 900 ones... |

One of the things I have always struggled to get done is plating... I have had some terrible jobs done in the past, and lost critical small parts to the bottom of someone's plating vat! so about 4 years ago I bought a plating kit to do zinc... Have to say it's VERY good and I have used it time and time again! its a bit time consuming, but time is something I have, particularly at the moment... Here are the results for my latest build. the kit can do clear and yellow passivation, you can see the difference.   |

Nice result.
Something I haven't tried with a few local platers nearby. You had control of the process and volume, so any issues to consider DIY?

How do you clean them before?
Follow up:
did you have a clear unoccupied table for this purpose? That's not normal....

yes, took a little while  One of the benefits of having a blast cabinet is the ability to clean parts up easily... But I have always struggled to get that nice shiny finish the professionals manage to get with glass bead. I went to the bead supplier a while ago and said that I was having problems, and he asked what pressure I was blasting at, to which I replied 120 PSI. he said that's your problem... its too high and you are shattering the glass beads and the broken beads are giving you a matt finish! he said to turn the pressure right down, and then up until you got the finish you want! its so much better, you can see the difference in the reservoir caps! it also gives a closed finish that dirty finger prints just wipe off, on the matt surface they are difficult to remove!    |
