I am debating my projects for next winter already. I am thinking of getting the swingarm, frame and wheels powdercoated. I have had all the plastics and tank and swingarm off before. I am fairly mechanically inclined but what all is involved in stripping to a bare frame. How hard of a challenge is this going to be?

If u got it torn apart, take it to a shop and have it sandblasted off.

i think he means get it to a bare frame....meaning how hard is getting everything off...and further, putting everything back together...am i right...
i want to do my frame too, but the thought of tearing it all down...makes me cringe....i asked a place how much to strip down the bike AND PC the frame...they wanted $1800 so i will be doing it myself, just don't know when

It's not worth it.
You have to remove every nut, every bolt, every bearing, everything.

To me it is worth it. and yes I am talking about the challenge of pulling the motor wiring trans etc etc etc

It seems like a pain to do but will be worth it. I just polished my frame and swingarm this winter but didnt pull the motor out. It is just time consuming to do but good luck with it when u decide to do it.
