Re: [emrat:11025] Bonnie cast wheel project continued...

I had my cast wheels powder coated at woodys. 60% gloss was pretty close to matching the forks (on a bonnie), yet not too matte so they are still easy to keep clean. I think woodys just sends stuff over to blue flame for blasting/coating, but woodys will pull and reinstall your bearings and such.

I actually looked at the Sprint last night while they were fetching my wheel.  It is gorgeous, I have to say that. 

They also have a T100 and a banana-yellow Rocket III on the showroom floor. 

At least this time when I went into Steele's there wasn't somebody yelling at a customer while I was there.  Maybe they've softened their attitude somewhat?

Either way, the price was right and the ability to go and pick up the wheel in person were what sold me on it. 

Attached a couple of photos.  As you can see the rear doesn't really "match" the front but I'm going to put them on the bike and see how they look.  If I don't like the look I may see about having the wheels painted to match, maybe gloss black?

That was a great bike. I should know, I used to own it! All the work they described is correct, except there are many more miles than the last time I saw it. Staintunes, check. Racetech fork upgrade, check. Carb tune st Erich when Trip was still there, check. Bar risers, check. I still have an original muffler.

Update:  I just found a Bonneville SE rear wheel at Steele's and they accepted my eBay offer.  I'll be picking it up this evening and getting a tire on this weekend so it seems likely that before the next RAT meeting my cast wheel project will be done!
