Glass Beading Clean-Up Question

[tvrla]

Do ask what's involved in the vapor blasting! The name implies or gives the impression it's just water, but in fact usually involves sand and water. One of the 90S guys here in the states sent parts over to England to have them vapor blasted thinking it was the best way to go, only to have the engine fail prematurely due to contaminants.

So be wary - and do inquire how it's done. If they won't tell you, assume sand was used and do a very thorough cleaning!

Guys,

Check out the website: http://www.vapour-blasting.co.uk/index.htm

The parts came back in pristine condition and completely clean, I really cannot believe just how amazing they look.

Time will tell if I have problems, my sense is that it will be fine.

Lou,

I'm going to leave them alfresco, I have ben advised to use AFC 50 (?) to help protect the finish...and keep the bike clean!

In their promo they say they do use some sort of abrasive, so I'd go over everything again, just to be sure! It's a bit late when parts are scored and oil pressure goes down.

I caught that note of resignation!  

Thanks for humouring me.

Wire,

I wasn't humouring you I can assure you!

I will ensure that they are clean before re-assembly

AFC 50 is supposed to be good, not everyone stocks it though eBay may be you best bet.
