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?

Paging @rojoracing53 for an update how how his PC'd exhaust has been working out.

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.

Oh yeah so that high temp textured stuff I coated the headers with a month or so ago got hammered on my trip to SoCal about a week after I did it. The bottom of the headers down by the oil drain just chipped away from road rocks. Ill take a better look tonight to see if the front portion is still ok. The S-bend I did "months" ago is still looking great so I may try stripping the high temp stuff off and try coating the headers with the same normal black 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.

motoKRAKEN · April 19th, 2013, 02:03 PM

pretty sure i attached the pics. the first one should be the bike as i originally bought it, next is a picture with the flames off, then the bike taken apart for powdercoating, and last pic should show the new flush mounts i ordered one installed on the left and the stock on the right...

dont know yet i havent got the pipes on my bike yet...waiting for my other misc parts to get done, ended up going with something called "purple starlight" as my accent colors on the bike, will post pics as soon as those parts come back in.

motoKRAKEN · April 19th, 2013, 06:46 PM

next to come will be: getting the bike back together, LED's (you know for night time visibility purposes

) rear fender delete, darkening up my wind screen, black rims.

motoKRAKEN · April 25th, 2013, 01:30 PM

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.

Davidb32 · April 27th, 2013, 05:46 AM

It looks good!

xaple · April 27th, 2013, 07:26 AM

Paint the whole bike purple. Please
