kg4guy Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Picked these up and refurbished them the networks were shot the can caps were all leaking oil one tweeter was out and the trim was painted over including the logo's. I have all the aluminum bead blasted repainted the cabinets and replaced all the screws on the aluminum trim a little over 200 per cabinet took me all day to put all of it back on.

JL Sargent Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) cincymat, like that Road Glide. Had a 2005 model myself. Love a fixed fairing bike. Been looking at the older FLT Tour Glides. Might have to get just one more bike lol. A guy just down the road has a set of industrial splits. My wife asked him about them. He's not interested in selling. Edited September 23, 2015 by JL Sargent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it's covered with sanding dust. I meant to do that outside but the weather didn't cooperate! See photo in my thread. Love that bike, been all over the eastern and southern USA.

Islander Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Colter has mentioned in the past that the LSI aluminum trim has a very thin anodized layer that can be accidentally removed very easily, so it's good to think twice before blasting or using similar methods to remove paint from the trim.

cincymat Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Colter has mentioned in the past that the LSI aluminum trim has a very thin anodized layer that can be accidentally removed very easily, so it's good to think twice before blasting or using similar methods to remove paint from the trim. Once the trim is clean and polished there are several ways to protect the aluminum. Clear coat and anodization being two. The LSI's I'm refinishing are in such bad shape any anodized layer on the trim has long since worn away. I don't think the trim on mine, other than the corners, is even original.

kg4guy Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I had heard that the trim was anodized so I asked the owner of the business that bead blasted it he also anodizes and does powder coating and other finishes also and he said it wasn't however I didn't ask him if there was a way to tell if was or if it could wear off.
