They dont carry axles since they do Harleys and Harleys dont have axles, notice they dont list 8-15in wheels.

I've had it done once only. It looked real pretty for about 4 or 5 rides, and that was it. Heavy rocks and sand started to chip at it slowly. Then I had 100's of chips, but the axle clean up nice with a little work. If I did it again, maybe a heavy clear coat over it might help.


later

Im pritty sure the place I go to, when they do quad axles, they put a bolt/cap type thing on the threads and tighten it up, then powdercoat, and remove nut.

Make sure they tape off the bearing areas and threaded parts. $10 bucks or less is about right for plain black per part. Check out my page for some pics. If you look around there are coaters everywhere. Look for any kind of manufacturing company and ask where they get stuff done. Ive got 4 places in town by me but they were hard to find. Or send me your stuff and Ill get it done right. By the way black looks plain and uniteresting on a quad. jmo
