Frame back from PC

[Good Times]

Got my frame back from PC yesterday. Posted in my build thread but thought you guys might appreciate it as well.

Before:

After:

Had more pieces done as well, but you get the idea. The guy did a great job and gave me a great price. I only had PC on a part of the swing arm pivot threads, but a Dremel with a wire brush and that was cleaned up in about a minute. Everything else was done right. Dropped it off Wednesday afternoon and picked it up Sunday afternoon.

Very nice wish I had the time to strip and money to do it. terrylee

Hey TL, this wasn't that bad on price. I had the frame, swing arm, center stand, battery box, electrics panel, upper triple, motor mounts, and a few other pieces. He blasted and PC'd them all for $225. Worth every penny to me. He also worked on the frame where he found some rust and told me that if he found any cracks that they would weld and clean them up. That was all included in the price. Great guy to boot.

Pure GS porn!

Even though it's on an "L"?

Hopefully, he will be doing the "right" thing and De-L ing it.
Otherwise, it is nice looking junk!

L is for "lovin'" my bike and doing a stock restoration. I will hang onto the "L."

Maybe one day I'll be as cool as some of you guys and stumble upon a good deal on an 1100G.

Another great example of the beauty of powder coating. The time and effort saved plus the durability..$225 is a rippin' deal.

red Xs and blank windows is what i see...

Looks nice. $225 is a great price. In my area the price quotes I received when investigating PC were double that.

 

[Good Times]

it'll fit right in, next to that pink beast in the 2nd picture.
powdercoating is the schnizzle.

Nice.

I was wondering when I'd get that comment.

The pink beast is an awesome bike though. Lean forward handle bars, flat comfy seat, same size wheels, ....wait....could it be a....... G..irl's bike?

A thing of beauty....maybe the next one of mine will get that treatment.

Dang,

That is less than 1/2 what it would cost in Vancouver for just the powder coat.

Looks like a good job.

 

[Good Times]

Give him a call and ship it to him.

Just ran across this thread again. How is the frame holding up, almost 1 1/2 years later?

 

[Scratcher09]

Looks great and sounds like a great price too.

A guy has had my wheels for a couple months, were supposed to done by now.
I may send mine to KY, next time!!

You cannot beat powdercoating for looks and durability. I've had my 750 frame done

You'll notice that the frame has been braced too. Probably not strictly necessary on a standard 750 but it looks cool.

Some other bits were done too
