78 kz1000 ltd

Restoring a 1978 KZ1000 LTD and now I am stuck as to either paint the frame and keep original frame sticker or powder paint and lose sticker, any advice from the pros will be appreciated. Tony in Toronto,Canada.

I didn't powder coat my frame,swing arm,triple clamps etc. as if you ever catch a stone and chip it I'm told it can't be touched up and will eventually start to loosen paint around the area. I had mine done by a shop with some type of urethane which seems to be pretty durable. I made an aluminum cover bent to fit around the VIN sticker which saved it when sandblasting of frame was done and it turned out well. a zip tie was used to secure it through the small void behind the steering neck.
Good luck! David
