Mainly durability. I had the frame (and other bits) blasted to the bare metal. Powder Coat is a bit more resistant to scratching, wear, and road elements... vs paint and then clear coating everything. The Tank and Fenders were painted to match. Thanks for the compliments. -Josh
ahh cool. bike looks fantastic I bet you pleased :) love the tank too. Im just working on a GSX project. Finally got the thing running today road around a little... but year im going to be stripping soon, think i might go the same route and powder coat looks great. I'll post a video or two of mine shortly :)
Just read the article on your bike in Classic Motorcycle magazine. Great job.

hey so why did you decide to completely powder coat the frame instead of paint?
