I am going to putting a ez rocker kit on my rocker this winter and I want to black out as many parts as possible while doing this. I thought that I would powder coat the struts and maybe the lower fender ? any pros or cons I thought that p/c would be more durable for these parts. Also any other parts that can reasonably unbolted ? Are the front fork shocks a easy unbolt ? Any ideas or help
Thanks
Hey Bronco, I've got quite a few parts powder coated and I think that's a good way to go, especially if you're just doing black. My struts are p/c'ed semi gloss black and my rear fender is p/c'ed gloss black.
It's not a simple bolt on/off to get the lower fork legs off - you have to completely disassemble the forks. It's not a hard job, just a lot of steps involved. If you were going to take the time to take the forks apart, I would also recommend doing the triple trees at the same time.
Most of the black parts on my bike have been powder coated. Good luck with your project.
