know just what you mean, just had mine done was a pain getting the wheel bearings out, mind you well worth it now i have the wheels back on lol, they look the dogs dont forget if your having them sand blasted fine sand only, anything more is too harsh, oh and put old bolts in all bolt holes for powder coating, this will save hours of trying to re tap your bolt holes ;)lol just gonna paint strip them,polish rims n spokes then spray the rest

for those of you doing bike tests, stay calm and take your time, the best advice i have been given is mirrors after and before everything you do. ;D ;D and maybe just maybe dirty will let me do mine someday........gonna concentrate on my other tests first though......doing my ADR and CPC for work at the moment and they're well hard......
