So in todays episode I have quite a few jobs to get through, the first of which being stripping all the aluminum parts down that need to be sent out for anodizing so that they arrive back in time for me to rebuild and film them this was simple enough as it was only the wheels and rear brake that needed stripping, so it was a simple case of pulling the wheel bearings, removing the tyres and tubes from the rims and then removing all the spokes. For the rear brake that was simple too as it was only the brake shoes and pivot to remove from the casing.
These parts were then bundled up and sent out for anodising and while they are away I fully restored the swing arm making full use of my new vapor blasting set up, but I'm getting ahead of myself. My first job was to pull it all apart which was simple enough as its only nuts, bolts and bearings to press out.
when the arm and pivot were all stripped i set about cleaning them up in the vapor blaster this leaves them with a "as new" finish for most of the parts that was the end but for the swing arm to restore the OEM look i needed to remove all the defects i could sensible remove and then i had to give the flat surfaces a slight polish so that i could reinstate the brushed effect that Honda used on these arms.
After that it was simply a case of re-plating all the hardware and them putting it all back together again in reverse order and of course not forgetting to apply the awesome new PRO-LINK decal.
And that wraps up this episode.
So I hope you will enjoy the first episode of the series and ill see you all again very soon,
Enjoy
