I do not understand because there are too many technical terms... ??? ???
What is the problem on the spoke? The thickness of the zinc plating?
yes you hit the nail on the head 4pots so to speak , that is the answer too much over plating.

Hi I have just had two sets of spokes and nipples re-plated  and the rear wheel dressed up perfect but when it came to dressing the front wheel all the spokes would not even try to enter the thread in the nipple after a lot off head scratching and phone calls and enquiries on thread sizes etc I was approached by a retired motorcycle mechanic who told me to clean up every single spoke threads using my bench grinder with a wire wheel attached.The result was perfect. Which I assumed was just slightly removing some of the plating thickness.
Hope this works for all out there.

Restoration of Sandcast #97 / Alternator covers
« on: July 29, 2016, 10:58:26 am »
Hi Mark, On your sandcast 87 refurb on page,page 35 you showed a picture on two thin lipped alternator covers
they where both clear coated, then you where about to paint the Honda logo black(Matt black I take it ).
Can I ask is that the correct procedure Polish,Clear coat, then paint the Honda logo, Why not polish, paint the Honda logo then clear coat.

I take it it is so the Honda logo keeps the matt black look is that correct ?.
Thank you Garry :) :)

Can anyone tell me the exact finish for triple tree top and handlebar brackets,I was under the impression they should be a satin finish.
Was it satin from the first sandcast throughout all models. Also paint or anodising.
Thank you Garry  🏍
