Disassembling the bike to powder coat the frame is a bunch of work. I'd be up for it as I have very nearly had the bike to that point. I've had a good look at the frame and it really doesn't need it, so........ We'll see. I'll probably cave in after I see what the bike looks like with all the newly painted body work reinstalled.

Is your YSS the MZ366 with rebound adjustment? How do you like the suspension setup overall?

Yes. The YSS Z-Series. I purchased it from Ted Porter's BeemerShop. Never rode the bike with the OEM shock so I can't compare, but the original most certainly would have been softer.

The front end is noticeably stiffer, too, with the cartridge emulators and springs. Currently have the forks off the bike replacing the 15W oil I put in it last winter with the 20W that was recommended. Also the new fork seals I replaced last winter are seeping. Don't know why so changing those again.

Forgot to add that the old K had a Supertrapp. That's coming over to the new one.

Mine has a Remus.
