I decided to experiment with some new powdercoat we got. Starlight Blue. I'm happyhappyhappy! The metallic flakes in the stuff is silver,blue,pink and purple. Looks killer in direct sunlight. Pops big time under street lights. I'm half tempted to do the whole frame in it.

That blue looks intense! With the metalics you described I bet it looks great in the sun. And a pretty good match to the existing frame color.
Nice choice!

I'm not sure on this one Alfa. It cooks at 450 for 30 min,but not sure what'll hold up to. We do have some powders designed for exhaust applications that'll hold up to 1600 F continuous duty. Funny,it cooks at 350 F

I know! I mean, even yourself said you feel they developed it when the SOHC was tapped out, so they moved on to better territory. Plus, it is such a hassle, lifting the valve cover so I can QUICKLY do a valve adjustment.

Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

A Sawzall quickly solves that problem on SOHC models.

Hey now Craig. That was a reply in a totally different thread. Does not apply here.

But,now you can really rag me on the SOHC/DOHC thing. I've been fighting tuning this bike since day one. Fouling plugs even with stock & leaner than stock jetting. Horrible off idle stumble,but runs OK on the highway. Does NOT like to start cold... Well,I finally borrowed the adapter to check compression and it's bad.

1-110
2-110
3-80
4-115


Cold and warm-wet and dry. Same numbers for each. I think it's time to pull the head and look at the valves

Those numbers look ugly. If thats the same wet and dry, they I agree the valves probably need investigating.

Hopefully it doesn't take a whole lot to figure it out and get it resolved...
