Got the shock finished up now too- she will be a roller by the weekend.
Shaft is completely rebuilt. Every wearing part has been replaced. Awesome that Race Tech has all the parts. The only thing that was tricky was the bumper. I used the closest one demensionally off their list of available parts. I then had to hollow out the underside like the OE version. Appears like its gonna work fine.
Got the shock together and bled out- everything is right and like new.
I let the primer flash off per the can(I think it says and hour), and then I just top coat right over the primer.
Step 5. I top coat with this. The top can is the paint(obviously not showing the reducer and activator) and the bottom can is the flattening agent. You have to play with the amount of flattener until you get the look you want.
I don't have any specific ideas for Mag. I think my clutch cover is Mag and it's been painted for 2-3 months with no issues. I think getting things clean is really important, which is why I always clean stuff with simple green and dawn. I cleaned the cases with spray brake clean before assembly. I tried not to get it on the paint, but that's near;y impossible. The good news it didn't harm it and the finish seems pretty durable. I hope that helps.
I'm surprised and I'm sure you have been looking at the KLP swingarms, the cylinder re-coat is a must!
Your project is coming together really nice.

I've drooled over those swinarms quite a bit. A bit out of my budget currently. Hoping to one day do a no holds barred bike. Coke Bottle arm, full ti, alloy tank, come pipe, etc. One day!!
Thanks for the compliment!
As long as it goes and stops and looks ok from 15ft away we are good with it.
It fit OK actually, just left a bit of space above the stock subframe. I had a VRP subframe for it and it seemed like the guard would be better suited for the box section of the VRP s/f. I sold the bike and the whole enchilada a few months back though.
I love your vented front plate, where can I get one?
