If you get them to me by Monday, you could have them back by Thursday or Friday. But that would mean you would have to ship today or tomorrow! Depends on how you ship them both ways!

I got released by my Doctor to go back Monday. I get off at 2:30 pm, so I should have time to get them done by 10 or 11 pm. I have been staying up late anyway, and it won't be to much trouble to do it again!

Most forks I've seen are very oxidized, I am supprised they can be done that fast. I am running out of elbow grease and need a new tool to get all my aluminium looking like chrome. buzz 1979 CX500B The Red Dragon    Report

A fast grinder, 3500, will work, but 1750 and down with at least 3/4 HP is best.

I do every thing slow, that's why I don't ride a crotch rocket. veriable speed tools that can be dialed in are what I would look for. Cost a little more but I justifiy it by only buying one tool vs. two or three. 1979 CX500B The Red Dragon    Report
