Got some bling added to the race bike!

[DICKIEDOO]

I took my old wheels off of the GSXR and stripped all of the bearings , hardware, and misc stuff off of them and had the guys at Procryo hook me up with a candy blue.

These guys do amazing work for great prices. It's a mom and pop shop just up 400 off of exit 13.

How much does having a pair of wheels coated cost?

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Looks damn good!

[Derrick]

Those wheels are sharp! I wish I could be as thin as you when I was on my bike, and then go back to my size when I got off of it.LOL...maybe I'd be faster.haha

Looks real good mane!!!

[jdread]

Looks Great!

[DICKIEDOO]

Thanks guys!

I was super happy with the work and I couldn't beat the price. They charge around $150 depending on what colors you choose and whether or not they have to order the extra powder for it. That price is with the wheels completely stripped. They will not accept your assembled wheel as they are a coating business...not a moto shop.

Looks good man, definately makes the bike stick out. Easier for vicki to be able to see you too.

Thanks Marc. I used the old bearings since they were still in good shape. I would have gona back with OEM had I put new bearings in tough.

How were you able to get them out without damaging them? i have always had a hard time getting the bearings out and they usually get damaged pounding them out.

I used a bearing puller. It's fairly easy and it leaves the bearings in tact. I used a rubber mallet to tap them back into place.
