I'm trying to get Idea's about powder coating, But I would like to see what others may have done, before I jump off the deep end without having a better understanding, or idea, Also are there frame gussets for the ds650?

 

I have never heard of anyone adding gussets to the DS650 frame, only cutting to save weight. It's a pretty beefy frame.

 

I've done my whole Baja with black/orange powdercoat, came out pretty sick! i loved it, withstood trees/rocks very well, any questions dont hesitate to ask

 

Big C, Just check out my page for pics.

I did not do much to the motor, but alot to the outside. i have a crotch rocket pipe on my DS now just no pic's of it on the bike.

 

Good looking out (The Stir) about the gussets question......I deffinitly will no add gussets. I was just trying to find out if it was a good idea, or not. My problem is that I am to quick to do something with out finding out more details about it. A friend told me to ask questions before I make any moves, so that way I wont go into anything blinded. It took a while, but know I see what he means. I didn't know I could have had bigger valves put into my DS725 head when I spent $5000 to have my motor built up. A little searching, and I would have had OMH work done for the same price or less.

Tape on the first picture on my page, and you can see my dyno run. 61.5 H/P

 

Check out the pictures on choosetolose04 page....

 

Hey BigC, I couple a couple of pics in my gallery of when it was set up for desert and version 1 for drags. Currently working on version 2.

$5k for a 725 ........ Id sell ya my OMW full blown 855 for a little more than that!
