EXUP Worldwide

Well guys.... finally spent a few hours with the wet & dry rubbing down the arm http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/stigsdump/polished%20swinger/armfullwd.jpg and then got to grips with polishing [/img] http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/stigsdump/polished%20swinger/DSCF0003.jpg http://i20.ph...

People..make sure all the paints off before you start to strip the anodize..it has to be maga clean ..as I found out to my cost (had to treat again) I finally used Caustic Soda from a local hardware store...just the polishing now :sad [img][img]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/stigsdump/stripp...

Ural mate.....it must be the water around here..... :sad 4hrs and its hardly touched the coating Your Mr Muscle must be something really special...make sure you don't splash any on ya A*S whilst in the loo. I've got hold of some concentrated Sodium Hydroxide crystals......its on there as I type...I'...

LOL guess what I DID go out and buy this afternoon before reading your post!!!!! :idea: :!: :!: :!: :!: thanks for the info, glad to know I haven't wasted my hard earned :ban...

Hi Steve, thanks, good of you to offer mate...will bring the arm over for you to start right away. c u in 5 mins :D alright maybe not.............. I was trying to avoid the endless rubbing...especially aound the fiddly bits and the welds. Thought it might be easier to 'chemically strip' the coating...

Thanks hglenn55, It is an aluminium arm on a 1000 exup, and its definitely anodized. Problem is I'm in the Uk and no-one does Red Devil Lye. Most drain cleaners aren't specific about their contents. I also read that Red Devil has been discontinued in the USA so you might have to find an alternative ...

Hi all,

I'm just about to start polishing the rear swinging arm of my 1990 exup and wondered ............is there any easy way to remove the std factory coating. Maybe a process that can be done cheaply at home without hours of endless sanding

all advice welcome

thanks
Paul

Hi, I bought blue spots and then painted them gold to match the rotor inners ( pics don't do them justice)

If you have to fit those calipers to the later USD forks there's a bit of grinding required to the caliper/fork bottom to get them to match :!: and if you fit the mastercylinder as well...a place to mount it would be a small bracket and tap a thread into the end of the clip-on mount on the top yolk....
