here they are  duplicolor high heat  1200 degree black  dh1602  for the mid pipes ,got that from pep boys  , then rustoleum flat black for every thing else , topped with krylon  clear coat , i realy want to powder coat , but couldnt wait ! after the throttlemiester was painted  parts just started comming off .

Are you concerned the paint peeling?

dry time /prep i dont think it will peel off ? maybe some rubbing off on the rearsets but i had rub marks on the aluminum ? thin coats multiple / i did five coats with ample dry time between coats / then three coats of clear same thing / plent of time to dry in between /thin coats ! . and for the prep i used prep pad sort of like a scotch brite pad but got it at pep boys also worked realy well you just have to knock the shine off of the parts so the paint will stick , powder coating is definatly the way to go for durability but like i said i couldnt wait ! and the dam paint matched so good , and on the le tthat was the only part that made me nutz ! it is like those parts shouldve been black ! they just look misplaced up against the black frame . would be totaly different if i was goin the bling! route but then the frame would be chrome !

oh yeah that dam rear calipre support arm was stickin out like a sore thumb ! dont know why suzuki wouldnt have powdercoated this stuff to start with ! but i guess you have to draw the line somewhere . although i think the polished lip wheels are misplaced also ! have to figure out where to go with them !

so far i have heard on busas hmf ,d and d,and my two bros . i realy like the sound of the hmf , but they are loud ! d and d are not as loud as thier rep is . and the two bros sound good and look great ! i bought them to give me more sound ,the looks , and to hold me over till i decide on a full system ? heard those systems on a group ride i went on this weekend , but still havent decided?
good luck

 

[Shasta1914]

Cool........ thanks for the reply. Think i'll still go with the Two Brothers (aluminum) though.

Nice work . I will get around to either painting or powdercoating my pegs after Christmas . I also used the Ceramic High temp paint on my stock cans after we gutted them and they are holding up great . HERE's a small video of the cans and my Stock seat Corbin backrest mod . I've got to get new stainless bolts for the endcaps but they sound pretty good gutted ........

I'll take a few pics and start a new thread . It's fairly simple . Don't know about the front seat , never even had it off . You can search ebay for Corbin backrest and find them from $50-200 . Mine is the medium Oval and I paid about $179 new .
