Powder coating a FZS600 2002 swingarm....

[HaVoC]

Also, you say you used rattle can paint, did you go for matt black or is that a satin finish you've used? Was it easy enough to do, and how was it to get everything rebuilt/fitting? Sorry for the barrage of questions but I'm now seriously considering doing it myself as it would be easier to touch up then (I use my bike every day all year round...)!

Just to clarify, the street fighter above isn't my bike. It went back together the same way as it came apart, as all I did was drop the forks out the yokes and then put them in again after I'd painted them. Mine are gloss black pictured below.





Much nicer than the original silver which had gone very flakey and corroded.

That is one good looking Foxeye you have there Chris  :thumbup

I had my wheels, swing arm and forks powder coated satin black by Triple S in Bingley.

Thanks mate, that means a lot coming from you!  8)

I've put quite a lot of time into it but I love it. Still got more to do too, renthal black bars, hel braided brake lines for the front, Armstrong wavey discs to fit to the front, engine will need a paint sometime... want to get my swingarm black too... the list never ends. haha.

The two pics with me sitting on the bike really show how much cleaner it looks with the clear indicator lenses too.

Looks great, I might just do it your way, means I might not have to strip the forks down just spray it as is... What type of renthals are you going for, was thinking about getting them myself!

I've got a set of black 758 ultra lows. I wanted them because they have less sweep than the standard bars and are slightly wider so will be more comfortable for me as I'm quite a big guy.
