Rearsets Finally Powder Coated *PICS

[Redhawk]

Had the Rearsets & Clutch/Brake levers powdercoated black. Looks much better. Should have came from the factory this way. Visually I'm done with mods! But one last mod to come is a Power Commander which should be here within a few days.

Looks awesome :thumbup: It should have came like that from factory, looks very "clean"

Looks good!

I do have a question or two...

1) How was the bracket dampers [rubber] on the fwd pedal assemblies removed before the oven bake? The rear passenger pedals look like they just unscrew.

2) Did the control rod ball joint remained on during the process?

I used a 14mm socket and pounded them out with a hammer. The control rod ball joint remained on because it actually did'nt get powdercoated. I did that myself with Rust oleum flat black. I could not get the ball joint off and I didn't want it to get baked after powdercoating. Other people have not been able to get theres off either. I played it safe and spray painted it.

looks sweet! :thumbup: I too have a blue fz6. I like the look of the shocks. Have you thought of painting the rear hugger blue? I did over the weekend, looks great. I modified the hugger to look like boneman. Cut it bck some to expose more wheel...Anyways, good job , looks cool

how much did it run you for everything and where did you get it all done?

Look great :thumbup:

Everything was $50. Well worth it. Local Powder coating shop near me called Cast Plus

Yea a 14mm socket for the dampers and Rust oleum for the shift lever assembly

The bike looks really good. :thumbup:I'm hoping to find some spare time in the future and do this myself...

 

[CHEMIKER]

Niiiiiice!!! I liked the contrast of the rearsets and radiator gurards at first but the more pics I see like this the more I like the blacked out ones!

I know nothing about powder coating. I'm assuming from the parts that you had coated that it doesn't rub off like paint would. Is that correct? Is it permanent (ie impossible to rub off)?

 

[Cloggy]

Looks real sweet :thumbup: IMO it really finishes the bike off.

 

[VEGASRIDER]

That's one clean bike! Have you ridden it yet? I'm surprised that you still have the stock screen though. Anyway, looks great!

 

[bikerider]

That looks awesome. :rockon:

 

[farish]

looking great! will consider this as one of my next mods!:rockon:

 

[Gemini77]

This is one mod I have to do this winter......I hope I can find a great deal like you did!!!! :Sport:

 

[madmanmaigret]

That looks awesome! It has been on my list, but now I need to get on the ball! Only 50 bux? SWEET! good job :thumbup:

It will not come off as easily as paint. It can scuff but it is much tougher than paint.

Looks GREAT! Well done!

A curse upon thee for looking so cool.


Sweeeet. :thumbup:
