200x freshen uppers

[kasey200x]

Since my crank went out i am redoing a few things. I ordered a swinger, that was pretty dirty. I got to get some extra metal to weld some skid plate mounts back on it. But i cleaned it up pretty good. Got it put back on today, but forgot to snap a pic. I also got my ss bolt kit in the mail today. All 5mm Allen Hex head's. They look nice. Also going to continue to clean up some of the chrome, metal on the tripples and forks tomorrow. I adjusted the shock, and the rebound is excellent. Friday i might get the extra cash to get my 200x cylinder bored to 66mm and bump the M compression up to XR. Ohh ya. I painted the head black with high temp paint today, will take pics of that tomorrow.
Here is a few pics, one of the dirt swing arm is showing how many layers of crud i had to get through.

They are steel

[kasey200x]

Well crap.. i guess i got to do something like clear coat it. I didn't realize they were steel.. but yes, i used a wire brush on a grinder and cleaned all the paint off and it worked great. You guys positive they are steel? A heliarc welder was used, if it's steel then i would be able to extend them with the materials i have at hand. The tig welder is out of service, so that not usable.

[rob flounders]

im pretty sure thare steel .. .. and that clear coat kick ... works but you cant have it ploished smooth paint wont stick .. but that bare look would be bad .. i cleared my triple trees after bringing up up not to polish !! stuck good gave em a nice shine aint come off yet .but thare pro sprayed .....it would be awsome if you could polish em .. could be wrong but pretty sure thare steel ..

[oldskool83]

[Dirtcrasher]

Kasey, Please tell me you know the difference of steel and aluminum :lol: Just bustin your chops bud............

[oldtrx]

will an 86 swingarm fit an85? to get the polished aluminum swingarm..

[kasey200x]

lol i was rushing the entire time.. we only have 55 minutes a day to do what we have to do. I seen the type of welds and assumed it was alluminum. What color? I guess black.. that kind of sucks. I really like the silver color it had. Oh well.
And no, the '86 will not swap to first gen. Sorry.

If your in question of material remember the magnet. That will tell you if it is ferrous or non ferrous. The magnet will stick to steel, not stick to aluminum. It won't stick to a lot of stainless but there are a few numbers of stainless that are magnetic. Aluminum doesn't make sparks and it will ball up on a grinding wheel.

kasey can you give the measurements of the skid plate bracket.from bolt hole to bolt hole and the height of the bracket from the bottom of the swingarm.if you look at the picture you can see where i made marks for the measurements needed.also i can extend your swingarm,i just did one and it came out really nice.

[WIkid500]

Lee after looking at your pic I remembered I made my skid plate brackets out of 1/4" plate, and taped the holes for metric bolts. Kasey I have a month off between semesters over Jan if you need anything let me know. This site is great, were all willing to help if needed.

[kasey200x]

Actually i'm considering fabbing up a skid plate myself. I will have to get the measurements after christmas break. And thanks for the offers guys, but i don't have enough power in my x to need an extension yet. And when i get ready to, i'll be able to do it.

The 86 is not aluminum either :rolleyes:

[leevarnado]

WIkid500,you wouldn't happen to remember the measurements would you?
