Not mine but thought it was pretty cool!

Does that take an English wheel and do you have one?

It does not take an English wheel, but I do have the machine to turn the edge properly, and yes I do have an English wheel.

I beg to differ sir....

I beg to differ sir....

you'll get some powder folks back away from the job.
some freak about any combustion potential during curing
others claim the result is brittleness
I don't know the facts ... just used to source powdercoating in work situation, and recall the magnesium hesitation during discussions.
Be great to know the FACTS (?)

Interesting. Mine has held up great no problems at all.

It is true that solid magnesium can burn under suitable temperature conditions, but those temperatures are higher than 400 Celsius - no powder coating oven goes that high. Molten magnesium is the stuff that needs to be handled carefully, not a solid mag wheel.

Brittleness? Why do people say things like that? If anything, the magnesium alloy would be annealed and made softer. In any case, powder coating ovens don't get to high enough temperatures to cause any serious heat treatment effects.

Got it a couple months ago and started customizing ASAP.... (Also my first bike)

[Rover]

Make it your own,nice job.

Looks like it's running lean though. Check the blue on those headers.

I bought it in Wisc and took it to a local honda dealer and they did a mild adjustment (Richening) because it was running lean when I got it. Not really re-jetted. I will look into getting that done this coming spring. Next month I plan to wrap the pipes (DEI - Black)

Winter is needs to hurry and get up outta here. I am ready to ride.....

Thanx!!! Got a few more things I want to do.
