The seat bolts delivered to coaters yesterday. The last two weeks he has had a family death, one staff member at his main business left, one was sacked and he got an infection and is on antibiotics. Cutting some slack seems appropriate.
Should get them back within a week. Note that the thread major diameter has been cut at mid tolerance to DIN spec. The plastic ones I measured were just about below min diameter . If the thread is a little tight on insertion on your bike I suggest tapping out the frame thread (M10 X 1.5). To clear out any accumulated crud. _________________ Not as many bikes as I would like and already too many to keep up with! |

So, two weeks on and today the coater advises me his black paint is out of date validity and because he has decided to stop his cerakote business at the end this week (News to me!) , he wont be ordering any more. Parts are in the post back to me!
I’ve already contacted another coater fora quote/lead time and will advise asap.

No worries - hang in there. Again, many thanks for arranging!
We might all end up following the trend setter 2bims having shiny fasteners.... _________________ Cheers,

Thanks for your patience folks. My original source was a hobby/business and happy to do small items/batches. Most larger coaters won't or have higher minimum prices. Anyway have now found someone who'll do the seat fasteners (just a little bit reluctantly!) so I should deliver them to their premises tomorrow.

we started with this
Then made these
and finally we have arrived at this!!
Just got these back this afternoon from the Cerakoters and wanted to reassure folks.. [photo now updated 25th to show true colour..stand easy troops! the white line is where they wind a wire around to hang them for spraying]
Will be contacting everyone with payment details and get them on their way to folks over the next few days. Got there in the end! _________________ Not as many bikes as I would like and already too many to keep up with!

Great job welshlamb, along with everyone else, thanks for your efforts. Just a simple question: have you tested one in place to check the threads etc? Have a good weekend! Kit _________________ 1998 Bimota DB2 edizione finale naked
