Re: My Suzi T500 Project (expansion chambers finished)
Decided to add a couple of gussets to the top shock mounting just to be on the safe side. Think I am just going to go gloss black with the frame, then "if" I have to ever modify anything it should be easy to match up. Probably do the swing arm silver though.
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (expansion chambers finished)
Super work johnu! My GT 750 came out nice with the black frame and big silver metal flake under blue on the panels. You have a sweet build man, can't wait to see it roll'n.
Got the swingarm primed today. I won't be powder coating it as it has some kind of foam rubber inside to deal with vibration I imagine. Will be doing s/a in silver to tie in with the silver forks and contrast with the black wheels.
Humm? I never realized there is foam inside of the FZR600 S/A? I have one on my XS650 Yamaha and I powder coated it, mine is a 1994 arm.

You know what though Gary, the foam rubber probably wouldn't melt at 350f which is what I think they bake the paint at. I am painting oit myself for two reasons actually, first the aforementioned foam and secondly the fact that I could end up changing the colour.
Yep, have you ever tried to remove fresh powder coat, that is not an easy task? You must burn it a with a torch to age the new coating so it becomes brittle then it can be blasted off.
Paint looks better as well, powder is good for what it is but a paint job is still the best finish. Your bike is going to be so nice.
