Member Contributer tomk1960 Posted November 12, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 12, 2013 One of the members here sent me his VFR footpeg brackets for powder coating. I usually do these in a chrome finish that looks a lot like polished aluminum. In this case, he wanted something different - bright white. So I shot them in super mirror white and this is how they came out: I really like the way they came out and think the brackets on my Interceptor would look great this way too. Opinions? I have a spare set that I'll shoot and swap over this winter when I have the bike apart for various repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted November 12, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 12, 2013 Not my color but well done! How will PC hold up to boots scuffing? Is that black paint or are those pegs "rubberized"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that black paint or are those pegs "rubberized"? If there's grit on your boot and you scrape it against the finish, it will scratch like paint, but it will take a harder hit before it will really show. With white, it will definitely show scuffs if you're not careful, but they can be washed off. The pegs are rubberized. The rubber pieces are glued on.

Blast, wash, shoot, cure, and they're done. I would love to do some in candy blue - they would really pop. I don't get to do candy translucents very often, but when I do, they come out awesome...

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted November 12, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 12, 2013 Very nice, all of it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 What year VFR parts are those? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the rubber is not glued on but rather fastened mechanically. Nevermind, I'm just now realizing that you meant to say VF1000R, not VFR. The front rubbers are mechanically fastened on that bike, can't tell by the fiche if the rears are as well.

Member Contributer VFRDYLAN Posted November 14, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks Tom. I got home last night and open my new "present" and was very happy with the result. I highly recommend Tom and his services. parts are going on my 85 VF1000R I've been restoring for the past few years. I an just finishing up a CBR F2 wheel swap (thanks Jamie D.) and I had the rims PC'd white and decided to add some additional white bits to tie it all together. The rear pegs will mostly likely hardly ever get any use, so they'll stay nice. I'll get some final pic's once it is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
