Powder coat is done with equipment it cost me 300-400 dollars to get into but it was werth it. You cxan have it done just look in your phone book. You need a special gun, air compressor, and a electric oven dedicated to it and the part has to withstand 400 degrees and conduct electricity. If you where closer I would do it for you real cheap.

Yes I did notice a difference with the filter and snorkal. The difference is from the stock snorkal is about 1 1/2 inch opening and the after market snorkal is about 2 1/4 inch opening if you do do these you will have to rejet your carbs which is know big deal to alow for the extra air. I rejetted and did the air filter anda I had some lag when I hit the gas after the intake it balanced out real well. After I find a job since I am being laid off here soon I want to do an exhaust.

The springs won't give you any more clearance because you still have the stock strut with the same travel and no blocks to raise it. All the springs do is change the front end dive when you hit the brakes and turn sharp it doesn't raise the rear wheel near as much and with the plow in the winter. I will crank them up so it doesn't drop the front end as much.
