Well, first Duc here - 2005 S2R Dark. Picked her up with only 2,400 miles and pretty stock (only a tail chop from what I can tell).
I have removed pegs, rearsets, exhaust, SSSA, etc for powdercoating and ceramic coating. I got everything completely apart EXCEPT for the "vibration dampeners" inside the large holes of the rear-sets.
They are EXTREMELY dense rubber with an inner and outer metal bushing. I pounded on them with a hammer, used a c clamp as a quasi-press and they didn't budge.
Since they're really not a bushing that serves a critical purpose I went ahead and gave them to the powder coater with them installed. He said they bake for 6 hrs at 400* pre coating and about 30 mins after to cure.
Do you guys think this is a bad idea? The guy said they wouldn't melt at all but the heat may "age" them.
I know others have coated the stock rear sets, anyone leave these bushings in?
TIA!

I did this and they came out just fine, no noticable changes whatsoever.
