ok i am stuck at my grandparents for the weekend so i want to mod my pgm i plan to dye and silli so first question is can i put silli directly in the place the k pads were or do i need to make it deeper. Two do i need acetone to dye it cause i have never modded one of these so this could be fun. The other things i want to is satin schoomve dye silli clean bearing teflon polish if you have any input or suggestions please tell me and i no longer have access to a lathe so i will be doing it with one hand and a drill. as well i am also doing a hayabusa but i am not sure what i want to do yet. ---

Don’t Satin it. I think. The Grind Machine already has a unique texture. If you satin it, you might make it worse. Consider it already satined. To do Schoomve: You’ll need a longer axle, or a really small hand. Screw the longer axle into the PGM, hook the axle on a drill, and take a jeweler’s screwdriver or something to make the ring. Silicone: I think you just pour. Clean bearing!: At the top of this section is a wonderful guide by Samad. Teflon: Why would you want to teflon it? Isn’t that a grease? Polish: What do you mean? You can just rub it until it’s shiny. ---

Well I am satin it to get out all the scratches and dents. And I saw this bearing mod on another forum that used Teflon and polish instead of lube so I thought I might try it I mean if all goes wrong I clean my bearing again and put lube in ---

And I saw this bearing mod on another forum that used Teflon and polish instead of lube so I thought I might try it I mean if all goes wrong I clean my bearing again and put lube in So you put metal polish and teflon tape in the bearing? Not a good idea. The PGM is perfect as it is, I don’t feel you need to mod it. The only thing you said that I would consider is silicone and cleaning the bearing. ---

I really wouldn’t mess with anything but Siliconing and bearing-cleaning. Everything else has a major risk and/or will not work with the PGM. ---
