I am going to get my yokes powdercoated black and have stripped them off of the bike.
Some googling told me a T40 Torx but with a Hole will remove the ignition switch but I think the rubber grommets for the top handle bar clamps will melt?
How do I remove them?
Also what about the bearing cup in the lower clamp - there is a rubber seal under it and then I cant pull it off ?
How do I do this? any advice appreciated - Photos attached
thanks
Hi Fella
I thought about doing the same thing but was going to be too much hassle so I stripped etch primed and painted instead - no issues and im out in all weathers all year

Hiya you'd need to remover the lock yes a security torx bit will fit .
The handlebar mount will need to be knocked out like a bearing.
The lower bearing outer and the seal will also need removing.
Before you can get them powder coated.
If you can't do that then I'd follow
@Del's advice.
Good luck
:cheers:
Hi Del,
What brand primer and gloss black paint did you use??
thanks!
Looks excellent Dell. If only i could be bothered. Would look unreal with my stainless top plate i bought somewhere. I like it with silver but would be real nice with black. That bottom bearing cup is a real pig to get off. Maybe someone has a way but i think a grinder is the go.
@diebythereaper I do spraying as a hobby mate so tend so steer clear of rattle cans -
I used U-Pol acid etch primer - then a HD sparkle black basecoat - then finally a 2K clear coat
then waited till wife was out and stuck in the oven (55 degrees) to bake for a few hours or until the wife comes home - baking leave the part as hard as a whores heart
hope this helps

So you primer. Paint. Then lacquer Then bake in the oven and it's good to go mate

Etch primer - you have to use etch primer so it bonds to the metal.
Thank you gsxbarmy I just won't to make sure it went into a oven after the Laq was applied I was thinking of having a go my self cheers :onya:
@Mrg I usually wait till touch dry (usually 2 hours as I use an acceleratent in my clear) before putting in the oven - also if putting in oven make sure no repairs (tiller etc) in job as this expands and ruins the job . . . . . wee hint for the future
:onya: cheers del all your wisdom is taken on board thank you 😊
I tried it once.... when her indoors was out for the day.....stank the house out, jeez, did I get a lashing that day :rofl2: :rofl2:
Lol now there is a problem my misses own the kitchen living room the rest of downstairs and the rest of the house so I think I will have to build my own oven in the shed to be on the safe side :rofl2: well I own it but she thinks she does :rofl2:
