Nice street tracker...and how does one get a finish like this

[Maddog Marty]

On the engine cases? Looks kind of gold-ish, very light champagne color. I REALLY like the look of these cases. Any ideas out there? Nice bike, eh?

That frame is gonna be a bit interesting in the twisties

engine looks powdercoated maybe?

 

[sgallaty]

that does not look like it has enough frame to resist torsion...

 

[jamesgs4]

that mule guy has been building race frames like that for a few years now, but no idea on how they perform.

looks like paint or powder

The covers look like powder to replicate Magnesium parts.

I think Mule's cases are powder coated. Not sure the exact color, although Champagne is a good start. I've seen several cases rubbed with Scotchbrite that gives a nice even glow and seems a much easier-to-maintain case finish than high polish. You might consider the Scotchbrite finish also.

Possibly anodized? We used to anodize a lot of Aircraft parts, and it gave them a nice soft gold hue.
