Dang! nice[up]

So what kind of prep did they do? sandblast, beadblast or?

They actually use a chemical stripper to remove the existing paint. Then lightly bead blast it to rough up the surface on the areas that are going to be powder coated. Then coat and bake...

These guys I use are awsome, They do all of the Alston Chassis for Drag, Sprint, etc... cars. It's unbelievable what these guys put in there oven, an how it looks afterwards. I think someone did all of the parts for an entire car once.

If your in the Wisconsin / Illinois area they are J & J Powder Coating in Zion IL.
 
I got to go in the garage now and rub one off....

haha! Thank you for sharing!

Looking forward to pics! (of the bike...not the "rubbing!" LOL)
 
They look great! I'm dropping my seat rails and tail light off tomorrow to get them gloss black. I will be doing my wheels this summer in orange I hope

Nice bike. Going for something like yours, except I'll have a silver frame for now... Was thinking of powder coating my frame white next winter. It would be a different twist with the black motor.
 
those white wheels give me a giant boner. I love the all white buells with the black motor and frame. Best look ever
 
Disturbed where do you live? We should meet up for a ride. I live in Kenosha and work in Waukegan.
 
Damn I love the White! I was born in Waukegan and am in Gurnee all the time! that's nice to know a place so close does this kind of work. I should have them coat my black plastics white ;) Any idea on what they charge for a set of plastics to be coated?
