On the Powder Coated Parts, heres what's up on them. VIC offered his Powder Coat services to me free of charge, all I had to do was clean and Ship the parts (and supply him with parts I keep breaking on my bike...lol)

Vic used a special blend of Powder Coats to make a Low Sheen, velvety textured surface. My goal was to Black out most of my Original Silver pieces on the bike. Below is a list Vic Powder Coated for me

Parts with Vic's Powder Coat Treatment

-Grab Bar
-Rearsets
-Passenger mounts
-Tripple tree
-Bar ends
-Rear Brake arm / mount/ master cylinder
-All Fairing, surface bolts

The powder coating is extremely durable, and Vic coated high-wear items with multiple coats, and used a thin coating for parts that get no abuse exposure or have torque tolerances - so the parts were done correctly & not just sprayed by some guy who doesnt know what parts need special attention.

Its nice to be able to post a progress shot, as the weeks have been going by and hours spent doing this, its nice to be at a point where Im starting to see some results & can share them.

Im gonna keep this thread updated with pics, and take some closeups if anyone wants any. Also, I have a photo diary of the progress and some detailed what to do's, and the fubar part(s) photos...lol

Man, Im so broke, its not even funny. Not sure what you can do for me on some gold rotors or gold rotor bolts for a reasonable price, but if you have anything in mind let me know. Do you take Plasma in on trade for Parts
