plates for swingarm adjusters ?
 
Sorry for the daft question lads.

Assuming i have a box section type swingarm with a plate at the end with 2 locknut system for moving back/forward, can i remove the 2 nuts and remove the plates ?
The XT seems to have the crappiest plates ever so want them off to get nicer ones on there or these ones coated.

Yeah might give mine a bit of PJ1 next weekend when the wheels come off and i swap the rubber out.

Will work OK in the short term anyway :)

Plasticoat barbecue paint, its great stuff can even paint exhausts and engines in it!

PAinted them today with Pj1 paint, looks good.

One question, i forgot which way round they go LOL.

They're raised outwards in the middle ? not dipped inwards ?

No worries :thumbsup:

Something for me to do also while I wait to get her back on the road, mine are really manky!

Well that looks 100% better :)

All rust and flaking paint removed and coated with gloss black.

Still debating if it will look better in matt black, but pretty happy with the results.

Tidy :)
