Anyone done it? How does it hold up to heat?

Have done them...no issues to report...just make sure gasket area is clean with no powder coating on the surface.

Heat is not an issue. I have coated tons of engine covers and push rod tubes etc. Never had an issue. As long as your coater preps the surface properly you will be fine. Here's a link to a thread I started with pics of my bike in it. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/powde...d-my-bike.html

we actually stock a set of these for exchange for HD forum members... we coat them all the time! here are some pics, if you would like to do the exchange please just shoot me a PM, this way you have no down time









if you are doing the rocker boxes you may also want to do the push rod tubes




push rods and rockers give the motor a nice flow
