I'm doing a complete, ground up build of a cb360 and I'm having trouble making a decision with the rear hub. I'm using new spokes, rims, and bearing. What I can't decide on is between painting or powder coating the hubs, and whether I should replace the cush drive bushings in the rear hub...

Well, I succeeded. I soaked them in WD40 overnight, then spent a little more time with the propane torch. After using a tire spoon (long and flat, with a lip on the end) as leverage, a welding glove under it to protect the finish, and hammering on it they popped right out! Seems easy in...

The one in the picture I haven't touched. The other one, half out of frame, is what I was working on. I posted this after I gave up trying. I heated it, tried prying with a wrench and a welding glove under it. Hammered on it enough to leave marks on the fork upper, even tried using an air...

I've read about many other peoples struggles about getting out old fork seals, but mine seem to be a real bastard. I've got all the rubber out through picking at them and burning them, but these metal rings just will not budge... the can be removed right? I've tried prying, tried heating with...

Re: 1979 CB650 Brat. Wow....That thing is a beauty! Really impressive work. Couple of questions, is that a generic chinese ebay seat? How did you get your carbs so clean?

Primer?

I actually do plan on using that on things I can't powder coat. What prep work is necessary?

Well, I'm not building a custom show bike, and I'm trying to do as much work as I can myself so I can say I actually built the thing rather than just assembled it :). I have a sand blaster and will be blasting all the parts myself. I had them coat my ninja frame a few years ago that I just...

It's actually a mennonite (believe it or not) that has an industrial powder coating operation on his farm. I've had the frame and stuff of my last bike, a zx6r, done there. The final result is good, cost me $60, but they're no help as far as prep work, plugging and taping. They just clean and...

To answer my own question, I think I'll try to smooth it out with JB weld and then powder coat.

Although I'm sure there's tons and tons of threads on paint vs powdercoat, I'm posting this for some advice on my specific situation. I have a '74 CB360, and (obviously) I'm trying to decide between paint or powder. I know a place near me that will powdercoat the frame and stuff cheap (cheaper...

Hey I noticed you powder coated your rear hub. Did you leave the sprocket bushings in?
