Hi,
The job was done by Elite Engineering in Aintree Liverpool (UK Liverpool), they are all bike enthusiasts there and know what they are doing, one of the guys is restoring his CBX and a Seeley racer.
With the frame went 26 other items to be coated, plus there was some weld repairs due to corrosion, especially on the front down tubes, by the riders footrest, and on the welded part of the left hand top mount for the shocker. I knew about the first job but the other bits became apparent when they had blasted the frame.
Before I took the parts in I thoroughly de greased them and flushed out the oil tank with Kerosene, removed all the bushes and bearings holders, the lower shocker bushes on the swing arm were fun to remove, required a bit of violence, my thumb still hurts.
They usually quote 10 - 14 days turnaround time but they came in at about 10 days for me, they even try to get the job done ready for weekends.
The total cost was an eye watering £298, but I consider it well worth it.
this is the list of items I sent:
Elite also do bead blasting, alloy polishing, cylinder head repairs and all sorts of clever stuff, I'll probably take my spare F2 head over there to get the bashed fins fixed.
