Default Black 1000rr question......

Mostly for the owners of the Black Ones, but all opinions count.


Have any of you had your swing arms painted or powder coated?
Which is better?
Are you satisfied with the result?
What was the cost...paint / powder coat

I had mine powder coated gloss black (most do it flat black to match the frame), took it to a local shop to have the swingarm removed ($120.00)
My Co. does a lot of business with a local powder coater so I had it done for free.
From what I hear TRG Coating does good work and their a site sponsor [&:]

it use to look like that before made it into Red. That tube it's the Superbike Brake lines they call them SS lines. they don't use a benjo bolt, they go right into the caliper itself
