    Frame back from PC

    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.

      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.

              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.

                    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

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

                        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?

                            Dang,

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

                            Looks like a good job.
