Black to Gold !! Wheels and Pintripes Done Update

[Stolichnaya]

I have a mate that does it so I get mates rates. Job lot 130

He did my GSX14 wheels one off in blue chrome. They look stunning.

Question.

Did you remove the week bearings before powder coating as it would have to be baked in the oven for a while?

How did you fall the holes where bolts slide through or threaded parts to stop powder coating inside reducing diameter? Small rubber bangs perhaps but would they melt?

Thanks

Can't really understand post. Maybe auto correct on?

I left the Cush rubbers in. Took a chance. Rear wheel in just fine so all looks good. All bearings replaced n done. Greased n free etc.

I'm just putting fairing back together then wash n stand back n look.

Don't think I can post images from phone tho

Damm auto correct.

What I meant to say was did you leave the wheel bearings in the wheel while the powder coating was taking place? Or did you remove them before?

How did you block up the holes you did not want powder coating to cover?

In a perverse sort of way I like them.

Wheels look great, for me I'll need to see the other components on the bike, so I'm looking forward to your final pictures

well...  here we go..

i love the wheels - not sure about the hangars tho...  opinions before i make them black again....??

Wheels look superb, The other parts look much better than I thought they would...nice job     

[Lonewolf]

Yeah I agree with OC, that looks awesome.

[Stolichnaya]

Think so !!

i thought the hangars looked WAY WAY too blingy.!!!! 

i am also now having some pinstriping done.  the 4 lines on the Panniers will be gold and the 4 fins on the inner fairing will have a gold pinstripe too.  I'm hoping it will even things up a tad

[BigAlan]

Wheels are great, now I know what mine will look like, can't make my mind up on the hangers etc, one time I think there good then I look again and I am not so sure.

I may get the diff housing powder coated as well, I shall study the pictures more.

Good job.

one thing...  it does sort of grow on you...  i really didn't like the hangars ...  thought NO, looks naff...

but then ive looked a few times since and its sort of growing.  i think with the pin stripes it will complete it....

thanks for feedback tho...

Little update.  Ive contacted a guy that does Pinstriping and I'm having the 4 lines on the Panniers pinstriped Gold as well as the 4 "gills" on the fairing in Gold too.  i think that this will even things up a bit....

should be able to post a Pikkie up tomorrow night or Weds morning..

BTW - i chose gold as i thought it would go with the brown really well.  in the main they do but the Hangars need a bit of emphasis taken off them which I'm hoping the Pinstriping will do...

heres hoping....
