Great plan! Brilliant idea coating the heat riser tins btw. The rubber oil filler hole plug was also painted orange so might as well shoot that too.

Bummer about the bent wheel but at least you have other options. The powder coated set on my K5 now I also used briefly on my old K10 - I have to beat them off the front hubs for dismounting. They slip on fine and the rears on/off no sweat but up front a real tight bond between the wheels and the hubs develops. If you don't mind me asking, what is cost for one wheel in GA? In NM I've paid $65 and $90 per wheel, here it cost $65 (and no sales tax).
