FRAME QUESTION

  

masterbrandon -> FRAME QUESTION (7/2/2008 10:01:45 AM)

OK, I have a the silverish/gold frame on my bike (see profile pic to the left), and my goal is to eventually get everything on the bike besides the yellow fairings painted (or powder coated) black.  Is there any decent way to get my frame black without having to take the bike completely apart?  If anyone has some insight please let me know.

nope...that''s really it....i have been on this board and slowly doing what you propose to do...i having gotten black and red bolts, powdercoated the engine, stator cover, rearsets, new chainguard, brake line clips, etc....

this fall the swingarm, subframe are getting coated along with the suspension linkage, etc....to really do it, you have to be willing to tear your bike apart and put it back together...

on a side, if you want someone to do it FOR you...it will run you $1500+ (at least that is what i got quoted) to take out the engine, PC the frame, and put it back together...

masterbrandon -> RE: FRAME QUESTION (7/2/2008 10:34:08 AM)

Ya that sucks, but thank you ffingers I really like the looks of your bike.  That is a big decision to make...

ffingers -> RE: FRAME QUESTION (7/2/2008 12:01:24 PM)

thanks...if you have any questions or want some advice as to blacking out your bike, let me know...i have done extensive research as to what you can do and how you can do it...it''s time and money intensive but it''s fine and the bike ends up looking sick!

My frame is black.... did they make different years with different colored frames?

ffingers -> RE: FRAME QUESTION (7/2/2008 12:19:26 PM)

yes some frames come silver...however, the stock frames are really black, they are more of a darkish black metallic....i am having mine re-coated in gloss black...

DBEAU -> RE: FRAME QUESTION (7/2/2008 5:18:42 PM)

thats sexy

DBEAU -> RE: FRAME QUESTION (7/3/2008 9:04:53 AM)

Can you powder coat the exhaust?

ffingers -> RE: FRAME QUESTION (7/3/2008 9:10:25 AM)

yes, but most people would recommend against it because of the high temp...you can ceramic coat it (which has a MUCH higher temp rating), but you aren''t going to have the same availability of finishes or color with ceramic....

for example on my bike, the midpipe and the muffler cap are ceramic coated gloss black...the actually can is made of carbon fiber, but the metal pieces fitted to it and the midpipe are ceramic coated...

DBEAU -> RE: FRAME QUESTION (7/3/2008 10:45:57 AM)

I''m really loving the idea of blacking everything out... If i got my rearset and exhaust all black i think i''d pitch a tent [;)]

ffingers -> RE: FRAME QUESTION (7/3/2008 11:34:41 AM)

lol...well let me know what you need info on if anything...
