Back on the exam table!!

[raydog]

Puting my Superbyke creation back onto the "exam table" when it's only been on the road a couple of months is painful. Haybus is track prepped so it looks like the good ol KLR is my streetbike for awhile. Reason? There are many parts that need to be professionally coated black (ex bottom triple clamp, headlite brackets, fork tubes, etc.). MANY parts either powdercoated or anodized, this oneoff is going way blacker(all for cosmetics, too I can't believe I drank the "make it look bad" koolaid!). PLUS (this I'm really excited about) Race Tech front and rear suspension...that'll make a difference! And finally, install an aluminum subframe for mlore lightness. While apart, I'll install Pirelli Rosso Corsos, my racer friends swear by em....we'll see. Since the entire front fork assembly is coming off, the pics show my "suspension method" using the big beam I installed in the garage a couple of years ago....I know it's up there "right". Doyle

Sounds like a lot of work. Best of luck

i believe you (and quite a few of us) will love the results when you are done!

curious if you're keeping track of the "weight" the powdercoating is adding back to the Superbyke?

On all future powdercoated surfaces, I sand down the aluminum the exact thickness/density/mass as the powdercoat material to be applied so as to avoid weight gain. (this is sarcasm) Doyle
