Dont seem to be having any luck in replies, so will try one of the local companies and see what happens.

Cheers

Mick. I don't know the answer to your question, but if you find a good source I'd appreciate you letting me know... I wouldn't mind getting mine done.

Derek,

Mick et all - we (that's Keighley College m/cycle maintenace section) use a company here in West Yorks trading as Triple S (SSS) - can supply in a large selection of colours.

Can get a cost for you if you want but you'll need p&p as well.

Question - why are you powder coating new bars?

Thanks for that, have found a local engineering place who are going to do them for me, as to why am I powder coating, well I was told by a very experienced motorcyclist that it would give them better protection for when I drop the bike....and Judgeing by this blokes knowledge I believed him....has he been telling me porkies....LOL

Re: Jim...

Paragon[/i] [B]being my usual contrary self - I need that explaining - powder coating chips - when it chips water gets under it and it can come off. - Same as paint I would think - but is oviously harder but that equals brittle When it chips - it can only be touched up with paint - which is no problem - but. Cost effective? - powder coating - versus new bars - if you have a big drop. I thought that the reason to powder coat was purely cosmetic [B/[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mick_rw said:

Firstly I misqouted the person who mentioned having them powder coated, but will always accept advice from that person, but they will wear bettter than straight paint, I know its mostly cosmetic, but I did it cos I wanted to.........

The only interface my bars have had is getting the bike in and out of the garage and the bars have only to touch something and they mark. You can either constantly touch them up because of their soft paint or get a harder finish.

They will NOT give better protection in the event of a crash :rolleyes:
