Preferably not very far away, somewhere in London. Also how expensive is something like that and can it be done on the same day?

Reason I'm asking is because I don't want new rear sets because I like my ones and there's no point changing something I already find comfortable, but I want to colour them blue to match the rest of the bike's blue highlights cause that would look proppa nyce blud init etc.

I imagine prices would vary for different things, like rims would cost more than rear sets for example, but yeah if it's stupidly expensive i might just not do it at all and leave them alone.

So BCF you can helb me viz my broblem? Ta.

Um.. I don't think you powder coat a seat.

You have to like, use a different material or just spray paint.

No idea on rear set prices but I just go quoted £150 on a ZZR frame and swing arm, so I'd guess rear sets should be pretty cheap to coat.

You read that wrong! Laughing

rear sets are footpegs + gear & rear brake levers. Also wanna do the pillion pegs too cause they'd look out of place otherwise.

If they're cheaper than these obnoxiously priced aftermarket rear sets then I'll go for it. Tempted to go for cheap rearsets like I did with the brake&clutch levers but I somehow don't trust doing that cause they might end up being horrible.

Oh

Well in that case, I think colored pegs and leavers look tacky as heck.

Otherwise I would just do it yourself for something that small.
