Yamaha swingarm and fork resto question

[yz490rules]

Hi,

Im doing up a 465G and am thinking about the same issues.

Does sandblasting hurt the swingarm or should it be bead blasted? 

Do you get the swingarm powercoated or painted for the best results?

Another question on the side.  I noticed you can still get the rear shock canister holder band from Yamaha for a 125J like above.  Is this similar to the one on the 465G which is not availiable?

Thanks,

Stephen

I got my swingarm bead blasted and then gave it a sand before painting and I got the shock canister bracket from speed and sport in the US I dont know if it will fit a 465 but they have fair amount of parts so it might be worth a look.
