Title: Motomag wheels on eBay.
Post by: dp and Chopper Dude on May 04, 2012, 06:23 PM
These might not be everyone's cup of tea due to how shiney they are!
Item number 280875210196 ( waste of time doing a link, I'm on my phone )
They are £250 for Motomag II's but I'd like some if I could afford it.

If they were in the original condition I would pay £250 for them, polished up like that I wouldn't spend a ton on them.

Replacement axles are a nigh on impossible to source.

do look nice polished - but do loose a certain some thing ? the lettering looks over polish by machine and not by hand

sorry just been back and read it's powder coat chrome - so no wonder they look like that

good to see what a polished set could look like - mine will stay as they are, just clean them better and fix the webbing  ;)

How are you getting on with your mags Bendy?  Any ideas on how to fix the webbing yet?

not touched them yet - got to cut a peice to the right size and then use that stuff - but it got to be neat and the new webbing to match up with what it already looks like !

question is do i cut the webbing straight with a flat surface or rough it up so it sticks better ? not going to be easy - making it look like a hair line is what i'm after but  ???

will do a thread with pic's when i do - so you can see it done and what doesn't work  ;D

wouldn't matter so much if they were being painted (candy red  :smitten:) but i want them to look original  ;)
