Anybody out there into your K5s.... Your not finished building yet.... Stock, AF, hill climb, sidecars, trikes... what ever your building it just got more expensive...
billet cases...
I think I’m gonna have to go a set after 2018 mine are getting a little tired in our Motocross sidecar but I have just built a fresh bottom end for next year...

That translates to about 1750 USD.
They are sweet... I love the hydraulic clutch...
I can't wait to start assembly..
The Shop
Then I thought about Cerakote...
Then I thought about Clear Cerakote...
I'm so confused...
Vapor blast the cases just to knock down the shiny bling just a titch......but still be able to see the cool machining.
The biggest issue is it almost makes it so that you have to polish everything else to match... And I definitely don't want to do that..
Out of all the components I have applied Cerekote on, the engine cases make the most sense. A lot of hard places wash on cases, those places are the ones that stain bad, but not with Cerekote.
Now parts that look great, but I will probably never apply it to again are brake calipers.
Out of curiosity, why not Cerakote the calipers?
I have never done any but one of the guys on our Team did...
So far, so good.
It is super durable, but the biggest advantage is it's super thin. Cool stuff.
I'm just getting into doing some Cerakote.
I bought the equipment... I just need to get some paint.
They also have some interesting internal engine paint for combustion chambers and piston crowns..
One more experiment I need to get to..
A buddy of mine has been doing it over in Florida.
He has given me several tips.
I know a little goes a long long way :-)
