Oh, yeah...I vote for the Hurricane-theme. My wife says I couldn't buy those because it makes her think of a SuzukiWassat

We both are Hannah fans.

The frame looks great!

When I started my YZ make over at first I wanted to go with the Yellow & Black old school graphics......but went with White and Red.

What good would it do to plug off all the threaded holes? He said the anodizing went all the way through the aluminum didn't he? Looks good!

They said they did it for caution Newmann, and yes the Anodizing does go all the way though except for where they plugged the frame. I didn't ask questions I just listened to what they said and tryd to absorb all the info they told and gave me.

Looks great!

Just an FYI, the anodizing does not go all the way through the tubes...it may coat the inside of hollow tubes where there is an access point such as a hole, but all hard anodizing is by design is colored oxidation that has been sealed for durability.

If you got the impression the entire thickness of aluminum is stained black, you got the wrong impression.

That is correct!

I did precision sheet metal in the 80's and got introduced to hard anodizing.
The plating is incredible! If you plate a piece of soft aluminum, it'll actually become significantly stiffer after plating. 5052-H32 becomes like T6!

If you try to scratch it with a key with all of your weight, the key will rub off on the hard anodizing! You will not scratch it without a carbide bit, etc...

If you plate the threads and the threads become too tight, you will not be able to clean them up with a tap. The plating is that hard!

The frame looks awesome by the way!
