Dammit, why does everything have bearings in itare they going to be reasonably easy to source or am i going to be waiting around for 4 weeks for them to arrive from japan?
Also, feel like making your MVX awesome?

It would take a lot more than that to make an MVX awesome, in fact I am not even sure it is possible
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Well it would be a start... actually, i'm sure a NS400R engine would make an MVX cool?

Holy shit that was scary... I just hope I remember where everything goes, or the photos are good enough quality.
Fully down to frame now (minus wheel/swingarm/steering head - because i can't get the fucking nuts off, I should probably buy the right tools to do it)
Will hope to get the rest off shortly then off to powder coating.

Just got a reply from them saying $400 for the blast + powdercoat... WTF??? Surely it can't be that much more expensive in Auckland?

Those swingarm bolts are a bitch mate. You need a 10 or 12mm impact allen key and a rattle gun for that shit. In fact, we needed Beaurepaires Truck stop guns and air to undo mine. they were FUCKING tight.Holy shit that was scary...

Looks like it's a 12mm, Only had a 10mm and was too small
Took everything off apart from the swingarm which I will hopefully get off within the next few days (Might end up taking it to a bike shop)
Still need to shop around for a powder coater though.

Yeah, $400 probably is about market rates. I think my guy in Upper Hutt has a bit of a deal with powder coater next door and they fling each other work.Looks like it's a 12mm, Only had a 10mm and was too small
