Thinking of Powder Coating

nohawg Posted 2008-10-03 9:10 PM (#19757) Subject: Thinking of Powder Coating Cruiser Posts: 244 Fargo, ND Does anyone know if the adhesive on the brackets that mount the brushed aluminum pieces will hold up to powder coating temps? And what are the sensors mounted inside the front access panel? Can they be removed and then reattached? Thanks in advance.

If you are talking about the very front access panel that sits below the front windshield on the front of the bike it is a temp senser for outside. when i had my stock piece taken off and replaced with my new chrome piece, so yeah it can be reattached. I hope this helps. cw1115 Posted 2008-10-04 11:24 AM (#19799 - in reply to #19757) Subject: Re: Thinking of Powder Coating Visionary Posts: 1290 Ruskin, Fl Do you mean on the backside of the panel itself? That is the radio antenna. I have upgraded to a amplified antenna an didn't ever bother to plug that back in. metalguy Posted 2008-10-04 7:59 PM (#19829 - in reply to #19757) Subject: Re: Thinking of Powder Coating Tourer Posts: 550 Tacoma, WA To answer your question, yes, and no. the adhesive on mine separated when I powdercoated it, but reattached after the heat was removed by just holding it back in place.
