Title: Rear Sprocket Hub for Monster 620 - options Post by: The ModFather on May 31, 2012, 06:37:44 PM Can I powder coat my rear sprocket hub/carrier? I know I'm probably better off buying a new CNC Billet one but the CNC ones aint cheap.

I could get mine powder coated for less than $50. Title: Re: Rear Sprocket Hub for Monster 620 - options Post by: nfwb11 on June 06, 2012, 08:49:33 AM Yeah thats exactly what I'm thinking... but... I could get mine powder coated for less than $50. Possibly. But then you've got to wait until they run the PC before you can ride the bike. I'm too impatient that way.

'Cause the DSS sprocket carrier is virtually hidden..... Title: Re: Rear Sprocket Hub for Monster 620 - options Post by: Punx Clever on June 06, 2012, 02:29:11 PM Possibly. But then you've got to wait until they run the PC before you can ride the bike. I'm too impatient that way. thats why you pick up a used one on e-bay and have it coated, then swap out.

Not really hidden at all.

The sprocket carrier is so hidden that once its black it will become almost invisible so even an epileptic monkey could get away with painting it ;) btw not that youre a monkey ;) Title: Re: Rear Sprocket Hub for Monster 620 - options Post by: teddy037.3 on June 07, 2012, 08:16:22 AM Take it off, clean with a decent solvent based cleaner then blast over with some satin black and youre done in 60 minutes.

Tried to use it as a low cost alternative to coating/anodizing some of the engine casing bolts but it doesn't hold well. Unless you want to keep removing and repainting I'd suggest going the coating route.

You telling me its not going to last very long on those bolts?

Personally I'd have just changed these for stainless steel bolts as they are fairly cheap, but youre right that bolts wont hold paint very well especially once youve used spanners / allen keys on them. I still say paint the thing, even if its whilst you are waiting for your second ebay one to be coated ;) Title: Re: Rear Sprocket Hub for Monster 620 - options Post by: nfwb11 on June 10, 2012, 02:51:55 PM I rattle-canned using outdoor, high-temp Krylon paint. I'd post pics but this site makes you jump through too many hoops -- I don't want to link to Flickr, just let me upload the damn pics!
My next attempt will be with this product, recommended to me by some firearm guys: http://www.topgunsupply.com/birchwood-casey-super-black-instant-touch-up-pen-flat-black.html If that doesn't work, I may just have to bite the bullet and order these: http://www.pro-bolt.com/index.php/motorcycle/ducati/monster-s4r-s-996cc-07.html?cat=34214&limit=48 |
