them saying that is probably a liabilty thing... you would want to mask off the clamping points (i guess mark them with a marker while on the bike?) before you have them coated. basically, you don't want to be clamping on powdercoating, as it could crumble, and your bars could come loose. but if you mask that area off pretty accurately, you shouldn't really have any problems! same thing goes with the control area.
charlie has a picture of the bars coated, but not installed somewhere on the forum...

Really. How did it work out? I talked to suburban Machinery and they said they could not be PC'd! hmmmmm Sorry I missed your question..... When I talked to SM to order the bars I told him to pop out the plastic caps and include new ones for I was pc'ing them. The gentleman I talked to said "oh cool... no problem". If you do pc just make sure the grip area/throttle tube is not coated. I didn't have the clamping area masked off and have had no problems. |

some thoughts, based on my idea that bikes need to have 3 colours only, two of them being black and silver. unless it's a tri colore with a heap of colours.
get some 749/999 4 pad silver calipers.
paint the front disc centres black (or silver).
paint the shock spring black or pumpkin.
anodize the footrests and brackets, etc black as well.
paint the "DUCATI" on the clutch cover tangerine.
does it have black handlebar m/cyls? if not get some.
pretty impressive amount of work.
