    Powder Coated Engine covers

    Wondering how it will hold up to engine heat? Anyone had any experience with this?

    It's pretty common practice and it does hold up when done properly.

      Thanks, I figured it probably wasn't an issue, Most powder coats are cured near 300 degrees or more but thought I might throw it out there.

            Been riding my Katana with PC'd clutch, stator, sprocket and signal generator covers for just under a year now. No problems at all; they still look like they did the day I brought them home.

                I had mine powdercoated over 3 years ago and they still look awesome.
