Personally if it doesnt interfere with the cover in any way I would leave it. Nice and beefy in that areas a good thing.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
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.

I shall quote a famous painter from these realms, when I had the same quandary;

Aw c'mon, Flyboy, you know you'll never be able to surround that engine with all newly painted parts w/o also painting the entire engine..

I am with the others on just painting the entire thing. I cleared over the engine on the 77 750, which was my first go at such a project, and its brownish yellow in some spots and is gonna need redone at some time. BUT the VHT Universal aluminum WITHOUT clear over it still looks just as awesome as he day it was applied.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

If the use of clear-coat on the engine tends to yellow over time when subjected to repeated hot-cold cycles, what do any of you recommend using as a clear-coat for the clutch and stator covers? Hi-temp powder coating?
I had planned on using Glisten PC on the aformentioned engine covers and I will still can use it on my wheels and fork tubes if heat is going to be an issue with the covers.

NO on Glisten PC.
I tried it and while I think the product is excellent the alu covers still found a way of corroding UNDERNEATH the clear-coat, so in a year it looked like some dumb-ass clear-coated the parts with no prep. Just answering all the questions, like: "Oh, did you do any prep before spraying that clear?" made me sick...GS850GT

The Eastwood engine paint I bought is silicone alkyd based. Hope I don't run into any issues when I go to paint the body work.Last edited by rustybronco; 08-19-2014, 10:38 AM.
