Did you get them powder coated? Did you also powder coat the pegs?

I want to powder coat my hangers black, but the peg seems like it should be anodized. Also, what did you do about the hardware? Did you anodize them black too?

I am not a big fan of rattle can, so I will not be ging that direction. But thanks :fing02:

I rattle-canned the exhaust with high temp paint and after a year it has started flaking off. Everything else was powder coated. The heel guards have some missing paint after two years. I never carry a passenger so mine are only there to hold the hardbags.

I think Skuuter had some nice red ones on his RWB.

I powdercoated all of it... no issues after 15000 miles so far

I powder coated mine. It's really not expensive and last much longer than "paint". I powdered the pegs and brackets. Everything but the pin and spring for the peg.

I painted mine the first go around but it didnt last very long. Get them powdered, you wont be disappointed.

I chopped the passenger hangers and pegs, smoothed what was left of the top bracket and had that powder coated. I don't carry a passenger but needed to keep the mount for the bags and remote pre-load knob. I don't have a picture to add now. I bought a used set to chop off Ebay and still have my original silver ones in a box.

Had my passenger hangers & pegs powder coated about 3 weeks after I got her. No issues, plus it looks a ton better.
