CB400 Four Super Sport Restoration 1979.

<< < (2/2)

Nurse Julie:
Blasting.

Sprinter:
Right here is the first lot going for sand blasting and powder coating.
Is the nut that holds the clutch assembly in place a left or right hand thread because it's extremely tight either way?
Also wheel bearings, what's the preference SFK, Koyo, NTN etc?

Sprocket:
How does it look now? Been blasted and coated?

royhall:
I usually send the chainguard as well. I wouldn't send that lot for powder coating like that. Unless they are very experienced with bikes you will never get your bearings back in plus all the threads will be filled. Put scrap bolts in all the threads and cover the studs such as shock mounts with lines of nuts, and cover both ends of the headstock with steel plates bolted through with thread bar and do the same with your swingarm pivot. Powder coat is pretty hard and therefore bloody difficult to remove from area's it shouldn't be in. It's no use masking things off as they will sandblast the lot before coating so your tape will disappear. Good luck.
