Headed to the paint shop

[hutru01]

Headers - Black ceramic coated
Heel Gaurd Plates - Black powder coated
Foot Pegs - Black powder coated

Future
Handlebar - Black powder coated
Brake/Clutch Lever - Black powder coated

Any tips or pointers on taking off the handle bar and levers? I would do these today, but I don't really have the time, at least I don't think....

Keep photos coming, interested to see how it turns out.

Handle bar and levers are easy to take off. Just a few screws on the controls, and you can leave them hang. Levers on with one screw/nut. Very easy when you look at it.

The seats looks very comfy. Is it much better than stock? How much was it and who was the maker.

The seat is made by a company called Shad.

The cost is $399 for the black seat with gold seams.

I posted a thread with a review here: http://www.779cc.org/forum/fz8-mods/2896-shad-seat-installed-pics-review.html

You do the headers yourself or a shop. How much if you don't mind my asking ?

I had them done at a shop. I paid $200.

Next up is getting the rear sets powdercoated, replace the clever with black/gold ones, and probably replaced the bar with a black one.

For those of you who have taken your headers on and off, is it normal to have a weird smell after putting headers back on? I have only ridden from home to work (about 5 miles) and I noticed it when I got my bike this morning. Hopefully the smell will go away.
