Title: Omoto reel
Post by: turboal on October 14, 2009, 02:20:43 PM
just cracked open a new Omoto Kam 500H-2spd to check it out.
Nice machine work and fit & finish. don't know what they use for grease but it's not to good. going to relube with penn blue.
Thinking of machining off the top cross bar and making an open top and powder coating the inner frame a candy apple red to
go with copper color on the rest of it.
