I have no idea where to ask this so I’ll throw it in here. My question is the paint, powder coat or what ever it is is peeling from a lot of things on my 09 Rocker. Primary cover, both half’s , break master cylinders and covers and a few other pieces.
What do I do ? Is it paint powder coating ? Can I repaint or what?

I can't assist you but I have two recommendations:

1. Post this in the Powdercoat and Paint subforum.
2. Pictures always help

I hope you get it worked out.

Are you talking about the black finish on the motor and inner primary?

Outer primary is chrome, polish, or powder coat. The inner and engine coating is wrinkle power coat. It can peel if subjected to chemical spills, such as brake fluid, and just time in general with use.

Just powder coated my tins and saw a couple bikes getting the engines powder coated and a brake MC getting done too.
