Front End Dissasembly
Front End Dissasembly
Been thinking about what I want to do to my bike next. Its a 08 Street Bob that ive had now since mid-april. I definitely want the lower fork tubes and the triple trees to be black. How big of a process is it to disassemble those items for powder or paint? I am quite intimidated by it, but admittedly dont know what all it would entail. I havent yet found a good price on a service manual for my 08.
I should mention, i have decent mechanical skills, on my sportster i did the following myself: Forward Controls install, Burly Slammers, Screamin Eagle Air Filter, 12" Apes, Carburetor removal and rejet, etc.

you should buy the service manual, its more valuable then powder coating the front end.

Coating the trees should only run about $50 or so, putting on FB lowers will get you the black but also fender bosses that dont line up with the fender and unused brake caliper mounts - which might not be a bad thing if plans for dual discs are in the future. Coating the tubes should be fairly cheap also but some are just stripping, sanding and painting in place - with the right paint that is a good option.
