Black powder coated swing arm

[Dave Harmon]

 

I have a 2010 CBR600RR the black powder coating is coming off near the rear hugger fixing bolt, on the left hand side. Honda UK will not honour the warranty. Can these be touched up (painted) to stop the silver showing. I dont think they can be re powder coated as they are filled with foam to stop them ringing. Any ideas!

only 1 yr old and powder coating coming off, then i'd play the warraty card.

i repainted a swing arm on a Yamaha TDM a couple of years ago, but this was silver. i used smoothrite silver in a rattle can.

Sorry,  when I read the title of this post I thought it was news about a specialist adult club opening up!

IF its covered by the warranty I would be jumping up and down on the dealers desk !!

Would you believe this only cost me 30 quid, 3rd one I've had done now spot on

Does look good fair play.

Looks good Triple, where did you get it done? I need to sort the one out on my ZX6 and my mate needs to get his ZX12 done too, they'll be a winter project I should think though!

I think I replied to your warranty issues on another forum.

To get it powder coated you would be looking at least £60 to get it done. Then all the hassle of removing the bearings and bushes, fitting new ones (more cost), and also blocking off all the threaded holes etc etc.....

You may have more luck finding a second hand one on Ebay.

probably too far for you, its was done by canon pyon shotblasters, its a bit eclectic how he operates but at that price i dont complain lol

I wouldn't care how he worked if he was half the price of everyone else either!  lol
