Yeah that was my thought and may be what I go with as I plan to coat other items too.

Anyone tried to PC the inner fairing? I dont know much about PC and wonder if it would be easy to have the inner fairing painted same as the outside?

 

Laid my RK down when my pant leg got stuck on my heel shifter.
Not a single scratch on anything...yes, I got lucky.
However, my advice === keep the bag guards and get rid of the heel shifter (if you still have the heel shifter, that is).
It's your bike, but there's no gaurantee you'll never lay it down and I can tell you from experience: those bars will save you damage, headaches, and oh yeah...MONEY.

 

I took then off my '01 RKC years ago... Put on Road Glide bag supports

 

Powdercoating is a baked on finish. I do not think your innerfairing would like it if you had someone stick in an over at 300 plus degrees. Powdercoating is for metal items only, because the statically charge the item to help make the powder stick. That is about the extent of my knowledge on powdercoating.

Thanks for all the replies and opinions guys. That why I love this site.

Hey Modes, I'm very interested in the set in your attic. My e-mail is itsstock@netzero.com ...drop me a line.

 

if i took mine off, where would i mount my saddle bag guard- bags?!?!?

 

Yep, mine are gone too. And the front engine guard this weekend as well.

 

Esthetically, I'd like to remove all the guards from my RKC too. I'm just way too chicken to do it. I really plan to never need them but one never knows...

 

Keep them on, and you will not drop the bike, take them off, and the first time you ride, they bags will be trashed.

Don't ask how we know that.

I had planned on powder coating some of my chrome parts on my 01 RK. However, the shop refused to do it. Apparently, they have to sand blast the old chrome to pre and the HD metal is to thin. They would not guarantee that the metal would not be perforated. They recommended only a shop that used glass beads, which added several hundred dollars to the whole cost. Needless to say the parts are still chrome. So be careful if you do decide to PC the parts.
