Powder coating rearsets
« on: 02 January 2018, 09:02:55 am »
I'm slowly getting my bike to exactly how I want it but them damn silver coloured rearsets do me in but it's only an aesthetic thing so I'm not gonna shell out hundreds for aftermarket ones.  Anyway I've bought some of the carbon fibre inserts for the heel plates and now I'm looking at powdercoating the rest of it in satin black. Has anyone else done this? I'm trying to work out if it will wear off rapidly in the areas that my boots make contact?

Did mine, had no problems with coating rubbing off in the 12 month before I changed to Gilies.

That's awesome, it's exactly what I'm going for but on a gen 2. I hate the fact that the engine is black, frame is black, swingarm is black then those big ugly silver rearsets are sat there like a sore thumb haha i know certain models had black ones from the factory bit they are like the proverbial rocking horse excrement to try and find
