My names Jim
I live in Bremerton Wa. Own a CNC machine shop here. I've been riding for close to 50 years. Own a bunch of bikes. Just sold my 06 50th aniv R1 and bought an 03 RC51 track bike. it's got a mild superbike motor in it. Yada yada. GP suspension and a Penske shock. My main street ride is a motard, so the R1 just wasn't any fun any more...

This is what it is...

The shop site is http://www.pbmwgroup.com/
We have two four axis mills and a turning center. Program with two seats of Mastercam and two seats of Solidworks 2008
My DRZ is also pretty heavily modded.
440 big block, 41mm FCR, SSW/MRD pipe, Hotcams, Bigger valves and springs...
It's a hot rod.

The RC51 is not a paint job though. It's a vinyl wrap. Was the previous owners sponsors...
It's going to get painted.

Does your shop have the capability to work with AZ80 wrought magnesium?
If so, I've been interested in reverse-engineering some components on my RC51.

I can.
You do realize the fire hazard though....

I can.

Yeah you need special precautions and methods during the milling process.
But not too much of a problem in bulk.
After all, the clutch and cam covers are cast magnesium.
And I'm currently using AZ80 magnesium clip-ons.
The main problem is treating the surface to prevent corrosion as it's a very reactive metal.

Anodize????

Anodizing or powder-coating.
