Title: Canyon Copper - Paint Fad?
Post by: beerman on October 03, 2007, 10:08:46 AM

It's hard to say with any certainty, but the Canyon Copper appears to be fading on my 2007 FXSESSE. Along the tops of the front fender, forks, Tank, frame - all seem to be a little less "orange" than they were before.??
Anyone else find this as well?
thanks

I am not sure about the fading, but I had to replace the frame, swingarm and forks because the powdercoating was defective.  I just got back from a trip and noticed a spot on the new forks as well.  It seems to be some areas didn't take to the metallic and it is a lighter orange color.

SoSweet, they replaced your frame? I did not know these were powdercoated? I have a small stone chip on my frame under the engine. It sure does chip easey if its powdercoated? Maybe mine is paint on the 08 s?

Yes, they replaced the frame, forks and swing arm.  My other bike has powdercoated springs and it does have rock chips too.
