Yes I did mine. Not overly hard to do if you own a bearing puller kit. Sandblasted wheels and had them powder coated satin black and clear. Very happy with the result. Cheers, Mick   |

![]() I bought mine new and sold the Fluo on ebay. The whole ordeal cost me $300.00. Hmmmmmm... I may consider that option. I want to powder coat the black wheels on my raven black FZ but, from the pics I've seen, I kinda like the bright red-orange wheels on the '19 MT10. If I like the color in person I'd consider buying the '19 wheels and then selling my black ones. Of course, I keep holding out hope I'll find a great deal on some R1 wheels. They look so good on the FZ/MT10. |

Babbitts online $260.00 for the front and $ 359.00 for the rear wheel.

Cheaper than expected, just need to see if I like the color in person.

I purchased a '18 mt09 thgmat was the matt gray with neon wheels. Amongst thousands upon thousands spent everywhere else, he powder coated the wheels the exact same matt gray. Turned out fantastic, unique. That bike had nothing but the best and the wheels REALLY compliment.

I plasti dipped my wheels black last year to see if I would like it on my grey bike.
Things I liked:
Wheel never look dirty!
Bike looks more serious.
Plasti dip held up absolutely wonderful, no chips or peels.
Things I didnt like:
Plasti dip is harder to clean (when/if you decide to clean it)
Black made the bike look a little boring, thinking of trying gold, red, or blue this year.
I considered my plati dip test a success because now that I am over black I can just peel it off and switch over to a new color!
