    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I think I'll send out the SuperTrapps on the red bike for black cerachrome soon...
 
They look great! Can I ask what it cost to coat them. I'm getting tired of repainting mine every month with paint and am looking at ceramic coating for this years winter project, thanks Ted

Just over $200....that includes stripping off the old coating and rust.

I found a couple of places that would do them for $150-175, but this place came recommended and it's somewhat local.
 
Very nice Bob!!! Were they coated with the same stuff before? If not, don't be surprised to see the bike pick up half a tenth or so! That looks like a STAR pipe, is it? Ray.

It is a Star pipe, Ray...Suppose to be a good pipe, yes?

It was ceramic coated before, but it was in bad shape....
 
It is a good pipe. Have you run it before or did you just get it & getting ready to run it now? Ray.

They were on the bike when I bought it...been wanting to recoat them for the past couple of years...
 
Bob I wanna coat my SuperTrapp...are these guys local to you? If so, if I sent you my pipe (just the head pipes) you think you could take them out to them? I would pay for your time and all, I just would rather that if you go down there personally, you then know what needs to be done, rather than me talking to them onthe phone and getting back something that isnt up to snuff... Let me know! Thanks!

Josh,

I'd be glad to help if I could, but they are about an hour or so away from me and are only open during the week...so I ended up using UPS, otherwise I would've had to take time off work.
It was only about $10 to ship since I live so close.

The picture doesn't show it, but you can still see the pitting where they were the rustyist...nothing they could do about that.

Here is their web site if you want to call them and see if they can do what you want.

http://powder-coat.net/

I would think you would have someone local to you...powder coaters are everywhere...
 
Before, (they look much worse in person now, as this pic is about two years old):

After:

Still need to tighten up the bolts and add the megaphone, but I like the way they look....
 
That looks very nice! Is that exhaust for a race only application?

I believe so...notice how far they stick out from the front of the frame.
With a stock frame I think you would get interference with the front fender.
