A L3 modded to fit a D bearing and satined. Has a vibe similar to a YYJ’s, before and after the mod. Does wobble when not tuned, but I would say this turned out very well!! This was done by gluing a hubstack into the bearing seat and cutting it to fit the D bearing, and then I removed the bearing post and replaced it with my own shims.

Why didn’t you polish everything except the IRG and catch zone? I didn’t like mine cause it wouldn’t grind. ---

Do you mean why didn’t I just polish the rims? If so, it was to make the Trinity look more like a Dark Magic. ---

I’m saying why didn’t you satin the part where the plastic would do on a dark magic? ---

Oh, it was to retain the look of a Dark Magic more. ---
