did some painting and powdercoating on the busa

RACER X · 03-06-2010, 12:34 AM

thanks to a busa board member for the tip on rustoleum satin
local board member hooked me up on the powdercoat job!

painted the brake/clutch hand levers, swingarm bolt, engine bolt rear brake cylinder and little detail bits also painted the exhaust bracket bolt

P/C the rearsets, buell pegs, shift/brake levers, pass pegs, shift rod, the 6 big bolt heads and 2 smaller ones

now to the pics

stock

debating on whether to paint the throttlemeister ends and see how it holds up or P/C them. my throttlemeister on my VFR were P/C and actually wore off where my glove contacted them alot.

generic pic of my HID lit up

Ah, the happy bus... still one of my favorite I4's

Nice job, Ed. The changes were subtle and tasteful.

Nice, I like that. I might have to do something similar, but I need to get a new seat, raise the rear and get a PC3/5

Looks great! What's next?

karl, is there a place that flashes the ECU nearby? would you prefer that or a PC? why?

RACER X · 03-06-2010, 11:48 AM

thanks, good to know.

i also had a bad experience w/ a PC and took it off w/ the VFR way back.

only place i know of "locally" that flashes is johnny cheese, near austin. would be a nice day trip

i just can't justify $350 for a PC , then another $300+ for a tune........

my powdercoat buddy said he'd P/C my throttlemeisters for free since i gave him good feedback on our local forum.....

I used the same paint on a few parts of mine too.
