That’s nice that. Crawsue did you take them off or just try to fade it in?

He removed the case for repair and repainting, Ron. I lent him the puller, which you're welcome to borrow too, if you want it. Note that, if you buy your own, you'll need to adapt it slightly to work on the Evo cases. I posted details here; http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...d.php?p=567799

If you need any more information from Crawford that isn't in his thread, drop him a PM as he may not see your question here.

Ahhhhhhhh. Right, thanks lud.

That’s a winter task me thinks. I’ll be in touch later on the year about the puller, thank you kindly for the offer.

Side question: the casings are magnesium right? How does magnesium stand up to corrosion? Wondering if bare flat metal would look nice…probably too cafe racer / hipster tbh or if it went really awry it might look steampunk

Nothing as exotic as magnesium, Ron, they're just regular aluminium, (Crawsue had his welded to repair the chain damage). You could polish them up, but, if you want shiny, maybe consider having them powder coated like 350TSS

I believe he had them done by Aerocoat?

That’s very good news. I’m no really a fan of shiny metal tbh, i think both sides off and painted like Crawsue's ones would be ideal.

Winter project identified.
