Ok here are some of the pics... Tearing it down  then... Engine Powder coated accents...  Powder Coated Frame...The color is black with no light on it and blue to purple under light..very cool...  Partially reassembled...Powder Coated the Tail, I need to add some white to it somewhere, haven't decided yet..  The Blue matched pretty well, really so close and the accents on the engine just set it off, I didn't want it too pretty so we left a lot undone...just accents..that frame is so cool...  High Temp Blue Powder Coat on the Pipes, aluminum rivets for accents...white inserts in the tail with blue pegasus...it turned out nice, I will post more as I get more...small electrical issues but otherwise rides great, I have missed this bike!!  | ||

 You have done an awesome job! If you can please share your powder mans info. I think he's gonna be bizzy. | ||
| Liquorwhere |
The powder man is me my friend, Specialized Industrial Coatings, it is what I do for my living. You can PM me or visit my site, but it is still under construction as we are working on our patio furniture business at the moment. www.specialized-powdercoating.com I glad you all like it, I wanted it to stand out but be minimal. | ||

Didnt see a price for wheels. Looking to do a set off a rice burner. Cast aluminum. Also I think the swingarm off my X1 Lightnin. Eventually an orange frame for X1 also. (Message edited by wile_ecoyote on April 12, 2007) | ||

That's one Blue Buell!!! Looking good. Looking different. Did you have a cheap deal on blue paint by any chance  Rocket | ||
| Cereal |
I think 100 Smurfs were injured in the mixing of that paint.  | ||
| Liquorwhere |
Well Rocket if you need some powder sent to you that you cannot get across the pond then I will be happy to help you my friend  Note: No smurfs were harmed in the coating of the motorcycle. Any reference to injured smurfs were purely for dramatic purposes and do not necessarily reflect the views of SPINCO, HotBlack Inc or BadWeb. | ||

Did you do the High Temp on the Pipe too? | ||
| Liquorwhere |
Yes I did high temp on the pipe, has a slight metallic in the paint, matched quite nicely to the skins. We drilled out the rivets in the can, cleaned it, packed, then powder coated the can, then after replaced the rivets with aluminum rivets with a brushed look to offset the blue. Cause it is a bit smurfyrific as you can see...but I am a small dude so smurfy is about right..hehe...anyway, it turned out nice I am pleased. | ||

I like the color of the frame mine almost looks like the same color.  | ||
| Nevrenuf |

| Wile_ecoyote |
Should you change your username to PapaSmurf? Hahahehe Hey you got a Smurf union card? I can barely see your head over the bike. (Message edited by wile_ecoyote on April 13, 2007) | ||
| Blackbelt |
You mentioned you wanted white on your tail peice somewhere... Do the pegisus on the back in white.. just the outline, not the whole thing.. I did that w/ mine when I had the tail powdercoated White... I did the pegisus in Black.. looks kwel... even though the powdercoaters around here SUCK!bl | ||
| Liquorwhere |
Nice Bike Blackbird, funny Wile..it is on a lift...although it isn't very hard to go over my head...lol...anyway Blackbelt I am doing the pegasus in white and carrying through the stripe, but I think it needs something up the side of the subframe...I am going to be conservative on it though and do the stripe and pegasus and then look at it to decide then what it needs..don't want to over do it. | ||
| Cbrxxblackbird |
The engine part painting is awesome | ||
| Rick_a |
Very pretty. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
you have to check this thing out in person. he did a nice job. i'll post some pics later. | ||
| Oldog |
Hey Liquor can you post pix of the header after coating, also is a gold color available? I liked the original gold color as the header heat cycles it cooks out the carbon and it looks rusty I would love to have a nice even metalic straw / gold color. | ||
| Liquorwhere |
Oldog http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/406 2/268638.html?1175795030 I can look for a gold or straw color and let you know. D | ||
| Oldog |
Great! let me know how it holds up and if you find a gold, I will start looking for a header on E-Bay. | ||

exhaust header (stock 2000 X1 Lightning)for sale. $40.00 + actual shipping} | ||

Oldog - if we are talking stainless steel headers, the only thing you have to do get that even gold.metallic straw color, is polish em up REALLY GOOD before mounting.(Read- make em look like chrome) I did mine last year and they still look that way (even goldish color).. you may have to re-polish em every other year, but that shouldn't be a big deal. | ||
| Liquorwhere |
Rock I will buy it for $40.00 shipping included. | ||

Neener, neener, neener, I saw the frame while it was still warm (well, almost) and pictures don't capture the complexity of the colour. Looks really nice Dale!

I will do my best for homecoming, but I make no promises my friend. how ya been? |
