k, I used PlastiKote flexible spot filler and primer, 800 grit wet sand afterwards and epoxy paint to finish.

Dropped of my parts to powder coat yesterday. Should have everything back in about a week. So ready to see what its going to look like.

Every time I look at my bike, I keep telling myself I should strip it down and powercoat everything.

Can't wait to see it!

 

[fishxb12]

Little sneak peak. Getting excited as hell to get this thing together!

Just saying, when it comes to paying for a pipe from Dean you are paying the man for his time, skill and knowledge. He is good at his craft. And everyones time is valuable.
When I go on a service call at work the client is getting billed from the moment I start an invoice, install/remediate the problem, drive and get back to finish final billing. It might have only taken 1 billable hour of actual time on the roof but they are paying from portal to portal. That's how all business works.
Carry on...

Glad you're up for the challenge of a big repair; you appear to be getting it all sorted out!

This is what gravel does in a corner

In all honesty, it wasn't the gravel's fault. Next time you encounter gravel in a corner, be aware that it's actually some combination of too much speed, brake, or steering input, that'll take you down.

I still like to blame it on the gravel,lol. Yea, it was a blind corner. Popped up over a hill doing about 30-35 into a left turn and wammo, I went down quicker than I could blink. I am sure speed was a little factor, it was a fairly sharp corner and the fact I have never been on that road didnt help. Its all good though. After all the insurance BS and tracking down parts and such, I am going to have a really nice bike for little money out of pocket.

 

[buellxb9rs]

I was quoted 350 to powdercoat the whole bike

 

[fishxb12]

Thats super cheap for the whole bike. Might was a bit more.

 

[fishxb12]

Getting closer!

 

[AZmidget91]

Jealous, I am thinking of doing the entire bike this summer once it is too hot to ride.

 

[fishxb12]

too hot to ride.

Come to Ohio you will never say that,lol.
The black is a bit glossier than what I expected but it still going to look sweet with the black and white palstics.

 

[AZmidget91]

Hmm, yes, but we never say it is too cold

[thrstrmech]

thanks, wow they really have some bold colors to choose from, hmmmmm decisions, decisions

 

[fishxb12]

I know huh. When I picked out my gold, the guy had over a dozen shades I think. I probably looked at them for 1/2 an hour before I chose one, lol. after a while they all started to look alike, lol.
