Tuesday I’m taking the calipers and rear master cylinder to Dallas to get cerakoted and laser engraved. Design for calipers!

Some times, the part you’re looking for, just doesn’t exist anymore.

No trying to be “that guy” but curious if you have done any ciphering to determine the net effect of added weight of powder coat on the frame and swingarm vs the gains in reduction of weight of all the titanium.  I have considered powder coating my aluminum frame but was hesitant to do so for fear of adding weight.

Not at all, I’ve taken somewhere between 18-25 pounds off the bike. The powder coat added a pound back. Maybe had saved weight with cerakote? 

It’s not just weight loss, it’s also fit, form, function, and appearance.
