Parts came out great! Also just got my engine completely disassembled. So now it’s time to really start draining the bank account on this thing. Getting crank rebuilt, cylinder bored, and new bearings and seals for engine. Also upon tear down the roller bearing behind the clutch basked was all bent and rollers falling out. Anyway here’s the parts. Also got forks and hubs done, frame coated.

The parts do look great! Did you get them vapor blasted?

Yep I did, found a shop near me that offered the service and he didn't tell me until after he was done I was his first vapor-blasting customer

. He did a great job and I'm very happy with the results. Need to order some spokes and shine up my rims. Hopefully, the chrome is okay beneath the black paint.

I've looked for a shop near me that does vapor blasting, none around here seem to exist! I've thought about making my own vapor blast cabinet and have watched plenty of videos to know what I need, the only problem is space and air capacity. I don't have much space for a cabinet and my current compressor just couldn't keep up.

Took me a while to find, I was going to ship my parts somewhere and I resorted to searching vapor blasting on Facebook and a shop came up back in my home town a few hours away. Then a just a few days ago I saw a shop post in my current city that they starting offering the service so I got lucky there. I want to make my own but have the same problems as you.

Thanks again for that FB tip, I did a search on market place and found a guy about an hour away from me, he's into restoring old Honda Mini trails (which was my first bike but had to share it with my two brothers), anyway I chatted with him and all is good, I just need to strip the hubs down and get them to him.
