Looks good Roadworthy! If I had spoke wheels, I'd definitely go that route. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'd really like to powdercoat 'em but I'm not sure I got the skills(or tools) to take them apart...Are there any special tools required to put these tubes back together after removing seals...Got a guy who says he'll coat the lowers and the upper shrouds for $50.00 but that was assuming they were painted and not coated originally...
