Silver Engine Powder Coat Problem

[TxRIIIRider]

So for all other silver motor owners.. Your motor us fine. I just screwed mine up. Not a problem with the silver finish.. Now, I have to figure.. what to do.. It will be a while though, bike is running too good (although I will need to replace the clutch plates soon) and Fall is here!

i got a feeling a few fellas are going to get the engines re painted.....lets see...who's going to be first to go red?

My 05 Silver Motor still look good I just give it a clean water pressure spay wash occassionally it comes up good..

Same here. Nothing fancy just high pressure soap and water at the car wash.

My 05 is bubbling and cracking on the right side, but the left looks good. I have chips and scratches in the paint too. No way in H E double hockeysticks am I going to put out good money to fix it up though. The Rocket has earned its grey hair and wrinkles. Its an old war horse now, but a long way from being put out to pasture.....at least I hope....

be careful what you clean the gray engines with,mine seemed to blister after cleaning with brake cleaner.it seems to make it soft at first,then it started cracking and blistering,on a lighter note,silver engines are becoming rarer as more bikes get black engines
