The sub-frame was cut off, and Factory Metal Works Hard-Tail Kit was welded in. The frame was then sandblasted, and powder coated using ?�?Bonded Black Chrome?�? color from powderXXX. The wheels were disassembled, powder coated with the same color, and re-laced. New Duro vintage style tires were installed on the front and rear wheels. The front and rear hubs are of the ?�?conical?�? type, and were polished, with accents of black. The front brake hub actuator/cover was disassembled, the levers were tumbled, and the cover was powder coated in mirror black. The front fork legs were also powder coated black, with strip of polished metal down the sides. New fork tubes and seals were installed on assembly.
