Yes, just mask the nut, stem, and interior of the holes where the tubes
live. I don't know if the lower bearing will survive the powder-coating
process, so it might be better to get it off now. They're cheap (like
$12) at the bearing house (30205 I think).

| Hey Guys, Well....Fred and others were right on the money. Steering tube came out the bottom with a little more persuation. Is it any wonder why Loopers love this list so much? Thanks guys. So now I am down to the "Building Blocks of Eldo Life". Basically the frame and engine have been broken down to the bare essentials and I will begin to resurrect this great machine. One question for the Wise Men of the Loop Empire. It was suggested that I not remove the lower nut on the steering tube. That will essentially leave it in the lower triple tree. I would like to get that triple tree powdercoated. Does it make sense to mask everything really well that I don't want coated and give it to them? Suggestions? By the way... the steering head bearings and races were near perfect. Thanks again guys...I hope you all don't mind the questions. Regards...Ian |
