    I wish to powder coat my 07 fatboy rims Satin Black so they look like the fatboy Lo rims .

    Powder coater says 200 degrees celsius for 10 minutes. Will I need to remove the wheel bearings for this?

    If not , are ther any precautions to take

    If yes , could I leave them in there and pull them out after and renew in 1 go or do they have to come out before

    Thanks in advance

    Pull them out and put new ones in when you get the rims back match them up at any good bearing shop around the $12 buck mark each for good Nsk bearings not the shit Harley use you may have to use a razor blade to scrap some of the
    Powder coat off if they don't tape up where the bearing sits in the hub no real big deal though

    had some rims powder coated a few years ago, removed the bearings, got some threaded rod and washers same size as the hole, stops anything from gettin in. cheers BRUSH.
