2009 Adrenaline 800

[jimmyj]

I have a 2009 Adrenaline 800R XP and want to know if there is a stock front spring that I can replace with black. I have yellow for a spring on the shock now and want to put black on. I want to avoid panting since I don't know if the heat in a powder coating process would impact the spring constant. Any suggestions? Thanks

Have you considered shock covers?

Thats what I did, hate yellow so just ordered skinzs in black. I would post a picture if I could ever figure it out.

We have our springs powder coated all of the time. Has no affect on the spring itself. Most places will do it for $40 or so.

Powdercoating only gets about 400*F. Not too hot when you consider that *most* steels melts at 2,700*F.

I would find a powdercoater...

You can ceramic coat or powder coat them in several options. I had my Jet ski mods all ceramic coated chrome. You could e-mail Chris at ZooFactory Coatings. ( zoofactory@yahoo.com ) they are in Kalamazoo Mi. He ceramic coats Howitzer recoil springs for the military. There are several dark to black colors for ceramic. Powder coating works too, ( carbon )spring steels do not start to temper until 400-800 degrees. The hotter the softer.

I would toss those stock 80# springs and order better springs,I have 125# springs on mine . In fact if you want and decide to go with zoofactory, I will give you my stockers for free, you can have them coated & pay for the shipping 1 way , from his buisness to your house. That's a deal. E-mail my profile if your interested in that.
