Changed the powder on my 08 .I still have yet to recieve my pulley and heat shield.Maybe today .But I thinks it a overall improvement.I also kicked my exhaust tubes slightly out to get rid of the dirty wheel issues.

How did you "kick" your exhaust tubes? Tough to tell from the pic.

Ill put up better pics later today of bike. I have to go to powdercoaters now and get my parts. He charged me $170 for my fairing stay black,my tree black,heat shield, swingarm,wheels and sprocket.The pipes were slit with a cuttoff disc and welded I removed the inner tube when I slit em.Its a lttle louder not much.I kept bending the tubes and kept starting it until I the exhaust wasnt blowing on the wheel area.Its also bent down slightly too.

Way better, I'm not sure who told Buell that Black and navy Blue look good together? Hell I know that and I’m straight!

Nice look!

I have some n00b questions, since I have been fantasizing about something very similar:

So it was just $170 for ALL that powdercoating? Did you have to disassemble the bike yourself? If so, how big a job was the swingarm? And finally, is it just spraypaint on the frame?
