Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Jacob on 08/18/12 at 22:45:03 I didn't do it. www.durablepowdercoaters.com Did the work. Awesome job they did. I like the exhaust black instead of it having parts that are blue and gold. In case anyone liked it, it holds up rather strong and tough on there. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by ralfyguy on 08/19/12 at 07:52:23 Now that's different. Not sure if I like it, but nice job. Interesting to see whether it holds up. And seems they went back to the roots and do the motor all in silver again. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Jacob on 08/19/12 at 10:06:54 Thanks. I know its different but after I got it back I thought it looked awesome.. To me that is. And I have already put 150 miles on the bike since the powder coating was done I washed it and it is holding up excellent... I didn't really like the bike stock. The stock muffler is a cannon for one. For two, it would backfire so darn loud sometime and the throttle was just so choppy. So I got the rail harley dyna muffler and clamp. Had it powder coated. Added some LED lights underneath. I got the jet kit from lancer and the bike is starting to run and look alot better. (My opinion) |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Pine on 08/19/12 at 18:12:55 Looking good! I am a big fan of powder coat. I have had it done to the stock exhaust and the intake of my 1965 thunderbird. I would love to have the fenders, sides and tank done in it. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Paraquat on 08/19/12 at 18:40:23 Some of those new Harleys with the matte black wrinkle powdercoat look amazing. The finishes, not the bikes. --Steve |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Jacob on 08/20/12 at 11:51:54 They charged me $75.00 to do the whole exhaust, clamp and the right foot guard. My opinion I think it does hold in the heat more! It seems to be holding up perfect. Rode for another hour last night and it still looks better then ever.. And thank you to everyone who likes it. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by kalm333888 on 08/20/12 at 12:27:06 I dont have any experience with the bike, but i am interested in getting one. Are there any noticeable issues with the 2012 model ? and is the backfiring really that bad ? Cause i know in canada if you have any exhaust that isn't stock, they can fine you for it.... the whole rejetting process i have no clue how to do if i ever get the bike and whether it would be possible through a dealer here..... |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by teabowl13 on 08/20/12 at 18:27:21 I usually DON'T like black exhaust; especially since your engine is all chrome and polished aluminum, but I have to say that with the black and orange paint, that looks really good and totally fits your bike... I've been considering an aluminum finish Powder coat for my exhaust... Cheers! |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Savage_Rob on 08/21/12 at 07:21:50 Mine is ceramic and I like it a lot. I don't know what the properties of the powder coat above are. If it also ceramic, prices have improved considerably, which would be very cool. |

Jacob, that looks awesome. You'll have to post a pic in a thousand miles or so, so we can see how it holds up. I didn't think I would like a black exhaust but that looks sweet on yours! |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Savage_Rob on 08/22/12 at 16:01:44 I was just thinking about whether it insulates much. If this is ceramic based, it probably will. If it's metallic, it probably won't. Either way, it's a great looking job at a great price and it sounds like it should hold up well. Definitely be sure to let folks know if it feels any cooler now on your leg and how well it holds up to scratches, pings and time. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Gyrobob on 08/23/12 at 12:45:08 Can you get a ceramic exhaust coating that will: -- Last a long time (20,000 miles over 5 years) -- In dark glossy grean or gloss black -- Costing less than $150 for the exhaust pipe and muffler |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by rfw2003 on 08/23/12 at 12:56:00 I know Jet Hot offers custom colors, just don't know the pricing. R.F. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Savage_Rob on 08/23/12 at 15:23:01 When I did mine several years ago (I think it's been 5 or 6 now), the pricing would not have allowed both items at that cost but that may be completely different now. The durability of the ceramic coating on mine is there. The guy demonstrated it by taking a couple of pipes he'f already done and banged 'em against each other pretty hard. No chips or scratches. Mine it doing great so far but I can't say it's been abused either. The guy who did mine is no longer in business. Heck, even then he was well into his retirement years and was doing this out of his garage. There were a lot of colors available from most outfits who do this. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Gyrobob on 08/24/12 at 09:45:33 I emailed Jet-Hot and told them I wanted their glossy forest green coating. It'll go nicely with the color I am using for the RYCA bike -- corvette dark bowling green metallic. They said it would be $360 plus shipping to strip the chrome and coat the exhaust pipe and muffler. |

All in All that's not to bad, considering their warranty is lifetime. You might be able to get off a little cheaper if you sandblast the chrome off yourself though. |

That I can't be for sure, you would have to ask them. When I sent in a set of headers along time ago for my pickup I sandblasted to bare metal. R.F. |

WOW! I had mine done in black last September and was charged $150. After 2,000+ miles, it's absolutely flawless and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by srinath on 08/28/12 at 09:48:06 Powder coating the headers dont actually make it last forever like un rusty and cool ... I wont say it lasts more than 2 X as long IMHO as the High temp paint. However it wont blue like the chrome does. If you paint it with a brush wih BBQ paint and its likely to come close to powdercoating for durability. I prefer to sand blast it and hand paint it or spray with high temp ... some headers work better that way. Cool. Srinath. |

Title: Re: 2012 Suzuki Boulevard 650 Exhaust Powder Coate Post by Paraquat on 08/28/12 at 20:20:40 My c50 came with Morton's Violaters. (I know it's spelled wrong but thats's how they spell it) I'm going to assume the previous owner paid extra for the: "Black Ceramic Powdercoating Option We can put a black velvet coat of ceramic on the outside of the pipes instead of chrome. This hot new semi flat look will let the pipes run 400 degrees cooler for added horsepower. Allow an extra 10 days for delivery of pipes" http://mortonscustom.com/violater.html My bike is a 2008. So assuming they were put on day one it hasn't even been 4 years... http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv231/Paraquat_bucket/pipe-1.jpg ...and they look like that. I'd like to see a Jet Hot or a real ceramic run through the paces. --Steve |
