The first of many mods.
Took the cans off my 07 250 pregen today and dropped them off to get powdercoated black. i have the black ninja with red flames, working on how to post pics for yall on here. future mods will include taking the flames off the bike and powdercoating the wheels, gas cap, and handle bar ends all the same color, not sure if i want kawasaki green or my personal favorite color purple.
On a side note when i took the cans off i let curiosity get the best of me and decided to start the bike in the garage to see how it sounds...mini heart attack i am still laughing at myself for that.

Does powdercoating hold up long term on an exhaust?

I powder coated my full exhaust and its holding up pretty well. All but the headers are intact. The paint on the headers burnt out in the first hour or so... I used non heat resistant pure polyester powder.

There's also the chance that I did cure the high temp powder correctly but I doubt that. |

I used High Temperature paint on the entire exhaust of my previous bike. It held on really well except for certain rusty sections.

Powdercoat will be fine on the cans. As far as headers it was not designed for that temp. I am probably going to header wrap my pipes.

Stealthy! And you've added an antigravity device it seems.
