Interesting, thanks for information. What type of ceramic coat did you use? Was it a spray or the expensive small bottle of liquid you apply with an applicator pad? If it was the applicator pad did you have a two step ceramic? One to protect and then one for the hydrophobic properties?

I used Gyeon Cancoat. Typically it is applied using microfiber towels but i used an applicator block and suede cloth.

I have used the small bottle two step ceramic coating on cars but for the bike i wanted to test and did not want to waste the expensive coating.

Is that a central forge (Harbor freight) vise? How do you like it?

I see you are getting some stuff from Mastercross, nice! But... that rear brake clevis is not the type ever used by any HRC team (if you care).

It's cool but not as cool as the high quality replica Vintagehonda.nl makes and sells.

Not sure if he still has some available but here’s the link to his page to purchase:

Just ordered it, thanks alot! I actually messed up i dont think that rear brake clevis is even going to fit, i was going to just make it work by tapping new threads but i like the other design from vintage honda much better. I just sent him payment and an email. Thanks alot for the help If you know of any other cool stuff i can do, or any advice dont hesitate to say something. I appreciate any help i get in this process.

Another big order of parts tonight, billet ARC RC8 clutch perch and brake lever, titanium motostuff pegs, works connection stem nut and oil filter cover, brake return spring, bars in a cr low bend, lock on grips, OEM rear brake line guides, new throttle and clutch cables. I should have majority of stuff by end of next week. Then bike will go back together. Only thing left is about 600$ in carbon from cmt, a ful titanium fmf exhaust, and SM pro line wheels. Probably wont have updated for a little bit, but im sure ill find something to do. Also got a rear brake clevis from vintagehonda, an HRC rep, with ti pin and split pin. Really cool sleek design. Also, got my PC billet shift lever in, really nice piece from what i can tell.

Did you get the black oem guides or stay with white/clear?

Has anyone ever ceramic coated (the clear wipe on type youd use on a car after paint correction) swing arm of frame/other metal parts? I feel it would bond decent, give great protection, extreme hydrophobic properties, and very easy to clean. im not sure how long it would last in dirt and sand, im sure some parts would wear away after one ride, but im sure other areas would last quite a while, if road salt, bird droppings, brake dust etc. dont wear it off a car for 2 years of daily driving it might work well. I have some extra bottles laying around im going to try it, but if anyone has ever done it before which i doubt feel free to chime in.

Looks like it is going to be a nice build! Im thinking about a project with the 2014-2017 crf250r and while your bike is all dissambled I was wondering if you could measure how wide the frame is where the tank is?
