Zeek 2,286 #1 Posted February 17, 2011 Here is what I'm finishing up before Project Raider can begin. Unfortunately I only have the time and room for one at a time Project Powder Coat Guess I would say it's a blasting/coating/painting sort of affair The link tells the story :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr.pipes 4 #7 Posted February 17, 2011 Looks great! I hope you were able to do the grab rails and side covers with one can. The paint looked real good so I checked it out and it is $33.95 a can. Ouch! I like you lift too. Is it anchored to the floor? Is it stable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouty56 567 #11 Posted February 17, 2011 That is fantastic work. My wife would complain about the paint also. Looking forward to seeing some powder coating on that Raider. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chesbaycruiser 83 #12 Posted February 17, 2011 Didn't need to see much past the color to know what was coming! Great bike, and excellent work. I briefly owned an old (1975?) KZ-1B...the original 900cc "super bike". Guess that would be this bikes "grandfather"! Looks like the grandkid is ready to kick some ass and take some names! Beautiful. Maybe a video at some point? Would love to hear those pipes... (This is not my actual bike, but one just like it.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 669 #14 Posted February 18, 2011 Nice job. I am a Wing rider myself. I have a friend of mine that has what I believe is a 78 KZ1000. Last year we put new sprockets on it to get a little more speed out of it. That thing is hoot to ride. But, the older I get the more I really like my Lazy-Boy on wheels :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
