ZG, does that rear gear stay cool enough to use a powder coated finish?

Shouldn't be an issue RC, powder coat holds up to high heat, hence why folks powder coat their motors.  :)

Hmm, now let's see, where does that part go?   :nuts:

At least they took pictures of it all apart, so you have an inventory of what's where.   ;)

Normally I go along with any post about black and slow, but this is (or rather, has become) about DA BEARS,
so no, the super secret official BEARS colors are Candy Neptune Blue (sometimes called Navy Blue by mistake) and Burnt
Orange.
Hmmmmm...an all Candy Neptune Blue C14 with Burnt Orange Ohlins, impossible of course without ZG's wallet. Still it
does delight the imagination.  :)
