oldguy61, yes, the frame sliders are Motovation. I wanted a no-cut slider and had bought some Shogun but read some reports about how they could crack the water elbow so returned them. The Motovations bolt on in 3 places on the left side over the water elbow, instead of 1 bolt on the Shoguns, and seem very secure.

All I did for the rear sets and foot pegs was get some high temp grill paint, spray a few coats, and then bake them in the oven. It's a cheap alternative until this winter when I'll get them all powder-coated along with the swing arm.

I'll post some close up pics of the rear turn signals later today.

Thanks for all the feedback!

What temp did you put to bake the rearsets? Also, how long? Nice job bro!

vspriderz,

I baked the parts at about 300 for about 20 min. I could not bake all of them since a lot of them had rubber pieces on them. The ones I was not able to cook I just let dry overnight in the garage with the heat on to try to chase any moisture away (I live on the Gulf Coast)

Good luck with yours!

The rearsets have springs on them, did you take them off or did you paint over them as well? Thanks for your help bro!
