trick121 (MD) Started a new thread How do you guys plate nuts, bolts, and misc fastners?

1/27/2012 2:02pm
Do you send out nuts, bolts, chain adjusters, motor mounts, fork boot clamps, clamp bolts, suspension bolts, and other misc fasteners to a plating shop? 1. How much does it usually cost? 2. What type of plating do you ask for? Zinc? Cadium? 3. How thick of a layer does the plating add? For instance, will the susupension swingarm bolts...

Ten months ago I started rebuilding this 1985 RM 125 I purchased on Craigslist for 200 dollars and today I finally started it. It started on the third kick and ran great without any adjustments.

"I bought it brand new in 1983. I rode it several times in the desert. It sat at the house in Arizona for the past 18 years. Since I have an injured back I shouldn't ride it anymore. I brought here to the house to sell. Want me to start it up? I rode it down the street the other...

Go to RacerXcanada.com and listen to the Matthe's Podcast with J-Bone. J-bone sounds dissapointed in Hansen's effort...says he is not giving 100% like Summey.

[quote="andymoto":1u4h76ss]How I know that; I owned an '86 125 'zook was a toad compared to my '84 KX 125 I had....one of the best 125's I ever had. Saw a super clean '80 RM 125 in the Bay Area. The guy races PV and this one was nice IMO; also had a RM400 same yr. Whatever color motor; the thing...

[quote="ThePipe":3aap6es3]Very Very Nice You should be very proud. You prolly can't sleep at night now because you are always thinking about it. That's how I am when I finish a bike.[/quote:3aap6es3] I've been thinking about it everynight! This is the first bike I tried to do it right by spliting the cases and rebuilding the motor, rebuilding the shock, powder...

[quote="sheilagh":2sg5qi0n]The motor is the wrong color! Better get out the spray paint. Had some of my best finishes on one, great bike. The last year of the true Full Floater [/quote:2sg5qi0n] I painted the motor three times! The 1985 had a really bitchin gun metal grey color and I really wish I could find the right rattle can color to...

[quote="newmann":1kboy08d]Very nice! Only one question.....what's next?[/quote:1kboy08d] I plan to race it at three or four times this year here in California with Calvmx or SVRG. Unlike AHRMA, both clubs allow newer vintage bikes and bend the rules to accomodate entries. After the fourth race I will probably be over it and just park it in the shed for the next...
