I got the bike back together Sunday-and WOW-the black powdercoating looks so awesome...its hard to believe that something that seems so subtle can give the bike a whole new look-if Darth Vader had a bike this would be it!! Im posting the link to my website-should be up and running within the next 24 hrs-possibly sooner. Also the guy who did the work for me is awesome-the work is flawless and I posted his website too...not advertising..just trying to help the little people. www.newcarolina.com/phil.htm

it's running, but no swingarm pic yet...that's on my to do list.

the local place quoted me $60 for (I think it's) ESD powdercoating.

The pics are up now-check it out!

man that looks awesome, I will try doing that to my next bike if the frame is black.

That's fucking sweet. Fucking stealth bomber.

That looks sweet! 8) Makes me wish you posted before spring so I could do mine... :( I would hate to take it off the road long enough to get it done :D

Kick Ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now just picture how much sweeter it would look if you got the engine case covers powder coated to match...................

I think I'm on to something there :wink:

Yeah that looks nice!!!

very nice 8)

I thought about getting the engine case covers done, but I didnt want to take too much more apart-I had so many parts as it was that I didnt know if I was ever gonna get her back together..but yea it would look sweet wouldnt it?

If you get the case covers done, I think you will have the best looking 1000RR ever. Almost makes me wish I had the black RR now!

What exactly is this ESD Powdercoating process ?

Check out the link on my website (final touch powdercoating) it explains the process-essentially the way i look at it..its magnatized powder that clings to the metallic part and then you back it on-its tough and more durable than regular paint.
