The FS1E DX restoration is moving forward! 🔥

In this episode, I’m powder coating more motorcycle parts and showing the growing collection of refurbished components as this classic Yamaha build starts to come together.

From rusty, tired parts to fresh, durable finishes — this is where the transformation really starts to show.

🛠️ In This Video:

✔️ Powder coating additional FS1E parts
✔️ Prepping and finishing components
✔️ Progress update on the restoration
✔️ A look at refurbished parts completed so far

This Yamaha FS1E DX rebuild is all about bringing a classic bike back to life using proper restoration techniques — including sandblasting, electrostatic powdercoating and careful reassembly.

Using electrostatic powdercoating equipment gives a strong, professional finish that’s perfect for motorcycle parts and long-term durability.

🔥 Why Powder Coat?
Tough, long-lasting finish
Resistant to chips and corrosion
Ideal for restoration projects
Professional factory-style look
