Is there any danger in powdercoating my cylinders/fins? I have heard that powdercoating retains heat while wrinkle paint no so much. Any input? Thank you Thank you

Don,t see a problem with either, since the Fury is cooled by a radiator, and those are really fake fins in function and are semi-removable. See post by Clueless. Also see thread by Bighitter, on tutorial for blacking out engine. I will see if I can find it for ya. Black engine, also in DIY section.

I dont see it being a problem with a water cooled engine but I could see how it possibly may affect a air cooled if it does retain heat. There are a few people that have done it on VTX forums, I believe, with good results. If you are worried, you could always just paint them with high temp paint.

Think I told him before about how bighitter painted his but he didn't seem interested. The issue that I think you're going to run into is that you can't remove all the fins anyways, just like the top half on each cylinder.

I agree, you would have to pull the jugs, heads, cams etc to p/c the bottom 1/2 - 2/3 of the fins, then new seals rings to reassemble, not worth the trouble unless your doing something like this http://www.furyforums.com/forum/honda-fury-general-discussion/3478-pieces-fury.html

"He" wasn't interested in paint until "he" was informed powdercoating retains heat. "He" was also concerned about the durability and longevity of paint. The service manual shows that the complete cylinder can be removed if you're willing to tear down the entire engine.

Hey if you want to pull the motor and tear it down just to make the fins black, go for it. Most of the major factory black motors are paint and last for years, here is a how to , again, Well, I did it!! - VTXOA

FYI….New Harley Big Twin engines are powder coated from the factory & they are air cooled so heat retention must not be an issue.

lol well "he" can do whatever he wants, I just said that I had suggested to you before that painting the engine with a high temp paint was the best option available, I'll make sure to skip over your threads from now on so "he" doesn't get upset with my suggestions again.
