Got the rear wheel and rear disc done today! LOVE my new powder coater...

 

[Smokinapankake]

Sexxy! Love the powdercoat!

Interesting about the forks - more options are always good.
Well done, and I'll be watching with interest!

More powder coating today! Got the rear wheel, brake caliper/brackets and also did the foot pegs and passenger peg bracket done. The chrome part i left of the regular footpeg brackets have a rubber bushing in them. We have about 15" of snow and I did not feel like driving to the other shop with the press. I will get them later.

I also have to find or make a larger oven to get the swingarm in so I can do it in black as well. Not going to powder coat the red on the rear wheel but going to add a small red stripe with a Beuglar pinstriping tool

If I ever rebuild the front forks, I wil pc the bottom piece the brakes bolt onto.

More stuff coated today...

cam Covers

side cover

 

[Darkstang]

Side shot after cam/side covers, redid risers to get further up. When the front tire wears out, i am going to redo the front wheel as I do not like the red outer....

 

[Darkstang]

Adjusting valves today so I did the top cover and oil filler plug , starter cover.

Ordered front fender as well. Next will be to powder coat the swingarm and take a side panel to the paint store to get a color match for the front fender and fairing. Going to reclear the tank and existing body work as it is in great shape but mmight as well why i am painting!

Here is a shot of the powder coat job on the tripple tree and risers..

Awesome Work!!
I see you're running the original swingarm. Will the powdercoating work with the factory anodizing on it?

 

[Darkstang]

Yep, after it is cleaned, blasted and treated with iron phosphate wash. That is what I am told about annodized stuff. The blasting will not remove the annodizing, but the IP should treat it .

 

[Darkstang]

WOOOHOOO! Got my swingarm done! Now waiting on new bearings and bushings to get here so I can install it!

Can't wait to get the bike oustide in good light and take some pics.

I did not use any IP on this. Just cleaned, blasted, rinsed with denatured alcohol and coated!

 

[ddaniels]

Looking so good. Nice work!

 

[Darkstang]

Got a crappy phone pic with all the new powder coated parts. Fender should be here tomorrow...but so is more snow

 

[Darkstang]

So, a week later , my Delkevic fender shows up...UPS has had it for 17 days!

I need to take a side panel by the paint store and get a color match for the front fender.

I believe it will look good with the SV650 quarter faring as well. Going to change the color scheme on the wheels and rotors back to black wheels and gold rotors...

 

[hkspwrsche]

nice job on that

 

[Darkstang]

Finally got my Kerker done! Powder coated today! I think it really looks good. This was the last piece other than clearcoating the tank and sidecovers etc,
