XS1100 dies when I shift into gear

Thanks for the advice. I had been thinking about powder coating some stuff. I watched a TV show the other day that showed how to powder coat stuff at home but I'm not sure I want to tackle that job. Anyone know a good place to have it done?

Do a search (left side bar) for powder coat and you get 20 threads (min) dealing with the subjtct, including a really good one started in Dec '04, by XSiveForce, that contains lots of info. The search tool on this forum is a wonderful tool for finding information.
