Dropped the pipe at Late Apex Performance Coatings and met Hoblick. Getting the pipe coated is one less problem to getting my bike ready for the season.

Nice to meet you, Hoblick.

Ever have "one of those days"?

Got the exhaust separated into 3 pieces so I can take 2 of them to get recoated.

Thanks, Tonik. I left a message at his shop. @Hoblick

I made the 8 year deal by a year too! My wife and I went together to renew our DLs and she was only able to get 4 years. I had to bite my tongue to avoid commenting out loud...

But I'm not a Starbucks guy...

No problem! It's still stupid for me to keep spending money on this 21 year old bike that nobody loves but me. If we ever get the chance, you have to take it for a ride so you can see what I made out of a cheap, naked, standard.

It's not a stock pipe, It's a handmade, Dale Walker's Holeshot stepped header with highmount. It was originally (18 years ago) satin silver ceramic coated which has held up extremely well. And nobody has ever accused me of making wise choices spending money on this. I probably have close to $20k in this bike that I probably couldn't sell for $3k! 🙄

Registration by mail? Yep, and they let me pay for 8 years.

It's MY 21 year-old naked streetbike. If it wasn't naked, I'd say, "Fuck it" and shoot it with flat black gas grill paint and hide it behind the plastics.

I found out that Performance Powdercoating in Cols does a 2000 deg F satin silver ceramic. Their price is about half of Jet Hot's and I won't have to ship. Any feedback on these guys?

Better?

Some progress today. Everything is loose except for the two rear motor mounts. Next time I get a chance to work on it I'll do the motor swap. I'm still deciding what to do about the exhaust.

Thanks for the ideas, mello dude. I got a quote for $450 from Jet Hot to strip it and coat with a satin finish. If the price was half of that, I'd have it packed and shipped to NC today. They do claim it's lifetime guaranteed, whatever that means... Do you (or anybody else) have any experience with them?
