After a long winter re-cooping, I am finally getting started building/customizing my '00 Cyclone drag bike. The wheels are black, and I wan to remove the powder coating. Any awesome ideas on products / methods of doing this without ruining them???

If they are indeed powder coated you can take them to your powder coater and he can bake the finish off.....I have done it quite a few times, works great. Just have to strip the bearing, seals and rotors but no biggie.....

Some people painted.
I will tell you first hand the coater Buell used did a really good job the strippers jasco and aircraft I used and elbow grease took about 16 hrs to get to metal if you are recoating them just have the powder coater take care of it otherwise I suggest the bake off method

most powdercoaters should be able to soak them in powdercoating stripper. Thats what i use. 10 mins in the tank and the powdercoat falls off in sheets.

Purpony, Thanks, I called a local powder coater today, and chemical removal is their preferred method. In fact, he said I should use paint remover... WTH, it's worth a try!
