Fork coatings for pw50

Based on his post history, OP built this...so I'll go ahead and give him the benefit of the doubt 🤤

put my grandson on a pw50 when he was 3.  was off it and onto a Polini 50 shortly so would not have benefitted from any pw upgrades for long.

Well done, OP. I am sure you will put together a sick p-dub with fuckin gorgeous grease-damped forks.

The moto community as a whole is not weird but posting that you want to coat your kid's PW low performing forks will bring out every smartass member like flies to shit. We did the PW thing but mostly just small mods to go faster and a little more bottom end pull. Once you get it finished do post up some pics. Tricked out bikes are cool no matter what cc it is. 

I skipped the coatings and bolted up some 52mm cones on ours. 

Oh for fuck sakes... Really? 

Don't listen to the guys clowning you.  Do what you want and if you can afford it, why not?  While it's a bike that won't last your kid for very long, the enjoyment he'll get when he see's it will payoff more than you spent.  Plus you can keep it and pass it down to his kids.

OP - Will you also do my fork tubes on my Tiger?    That would be awesome....thanks.

In all seriousness, I too thought "why"......but we all spend money where we see fit.   Go for it and post up pics if it does happen.

Following ! Go big dude !  Large, Extra large !!   Why they ask ? Because you can ! Fuck yeah love it. I have about a year to finish the one in my garage for our 3 grand kids. I'm not opposed... to spending a little on it this time around. When our kids were young the only mods we could afford was a number and some stick on eyeballs . Anyway can't help you on the fork coating but by all means spare no expense and post pics.  Who doesn't love a tricked out PW 

Grampa's bike.   Pointless mods run in the family.

Your going to be $500-$600 in the coatings alone.  If your looking to get out a little cheaper you could have the lowers cerakoted.  I know TagMx does that one forks.  

"There's some stiction in the midstroke, too - better hit it with some Ti Nitride while the forks are apart for the valving." 

All performance benefits aside, that is going to be a trick PW! If the OP can afford it, why not? You want "good for the sport," right? Spending money with vendors is the way to do it.  

I fully support this dipshittery. I tend to go a little overboard with my kids' stuff as well. Lol 

"Looking to get my kids pw 50 forks coated without spending a grand. "

Sounds like money is at least some object, or you wouldn't have mentioned trying to save some.  

I think it does sound like it will look cool, but to me I'd rather stick whatever it costs into a 529 account for my kid.  

Whatever you do, good luck!  I like looking at cool bikes, but I kind of like looking at stuff like this when someone else has spent their cash on it, not me.  

Good job dad! Thing will be awesome. Realistically, any of the more well known suspension companies could have it done. Look forward to seeing it!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My god that thing is ugly  Can't wait to watch the transformation

Not a PW 50, but TAGMX did this for me.  They're good.  Cerakoted uppers and shock body, DLC lowers and shock shaft.

100% his money to do what he wants with. 

If I saw it in the pits I’d think the same thing I do about every built or modded PW is see, “Why blow so much money on a starter bike that you’ll never get your money back from? Why not take that money and get Jr a bike he can ride that he can actually progress faster on?”

Cool he wants a cool bike for his kid, hell i spent 10k on a 450 that i get passed on by 85s.  As long as it fun and its your extra money, go for it. For people ragging on him, wtf we see $$$ spent on worthless pitbikes too, usally see compliments not bashing, whats the diif?
