Hi guys,

In the next few weeks i will be stripping my bike down to the frame, as i want be make the bike mint.

The frame will go for powder coating and while it's away I'd like to give the engine a good clean up

does anyone know where I could buy a stand from or borrow one?

Cheers for now

Chris :cheers:

Be handy to know where you are in the country Chris, maybe someone close to you may then be able to help.

If you are anywhere near South Essex, I have a paddock stand you can borrow
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Don't want a debate, but seriously consider painting rather powder coating the frame as there is plenty of evidence that it is a much better way to go

Agree Steve. Done a few over the years, always came up good.

Over the years I've heard of guys having earth problems after powder coating. One guy I new had to scrape/grind powder coat off down to metal under the earth mounts and after this no further problems. Something to consider.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!
