make the part stonger. the finish looks unbelievable
in person.
that sounds similar to the coating on the moto axles from Black widow.

yes it does look similer but this stuff wont come off. they told me a scotch bright pad will make the finish shine even more and it worked

the finish on the moto axles is supposed to be the stuff on an M-16 barrel, Is what I heard, so I don't think it would come off easier.
Can you get me a pic of the left side of your bike?

I love the stealthy flat black look. What does it take to have mine done like that? Or is it possible?

So how does that hard coating affect the heat being dispersed out of the oil from the frame spars etc.?

Looks sweet...next winter..im getting my frame PC'd in that heat transfering black coating.

Thats a good question. I was going to ask it but I assumed that since they put it on gun barrels that it should be a good heat dispersing coating.

Heat tranfer disruptions have always been a concern when ever someone on here was thinking of coating there frames...whether it is paint...powdercoating...anodizing..or what ever. Thats why the only coating id trust is the heat transferring black OPC...and the gun coatings..cause weapons get hot...and they obviously wouldnt want weapons to voerheat......so youd bet they transfer heat pretty well.

Here's a new pic w/the Timo crank installed. Still trying to figure out the new camera though. I had the engine sidecover coated black and clutch/stator covers metallic red. Have the oil filter cover also, just not on right now.
