Re: new turtle wheels...
he does do some nasty work kelm...and sorry va, my bike will be on the way to daytona and my back up bike doesn't have a sprocket right now, i loaned it out.
Dan, its cool man, don't worry about it. But I ended up putting my wheels on tonight and didn't end up having a problem with getting the rotors on at all, He said he put tape inside of the holes, so i guess he did it good enough there wasn't a problem, but i was shocked, i expected a super long job that only turned into about 45 minutes putting both wheels, internals, and changing the front tire off my old rim and onto my new rim. Too dark for pictures but i'll try to post some up tomorrow

Re: new turtle wheels...
I wouldn't be too worried about powdercoating the flanges where the rotors bolt to. The calipers are free-floating and will make up for the minimal distance that is added. I see your point and I would tape them off too if I were powdercoating them, but wouldn't be scared if my rims came back like this.

And above all to me I just like doing things right, so if it wasnt painted before I strip the part and powder coat it....Then there shouldnt be any powder there after when Im done, therefore I take alot of time to tape and plug my **** to OEM specs...Takes about 20 extra minutes to do it the way I like it...
Heres a wheel I did the other day
