Removing Anodized coating
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

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....
