Re:
Have taken my mine to wales a few times this year, and well going to complete strip down rebuild.
A local powder company I use for Jagaur parts said he would shot blast and powder coat my frame for £40 so going for a Kawasaki green with black highlights, new decals (where can I get them) single front ring, 10 speed (I don't know if I can do this please confirm) get my hope brakes serviced new hoses, as for shock and fronts not sure have marzoocchi bomber jr t, and a for float rear would like to get more travel so may have to source a betd linkage? Suggestions welcome please

Should be able to run a 10 speed setup provided the hub is 135mm spacing.
Jr T's work pretty well, but you'd need to get a BETD link to change the head angle and BB height otherwise the handling will really suffer.
BETD still make the links btw.
Or you could get the Pièce de résistance of FSR upgrades http://risseracing.com/store/product_in ... cts_id/266

Re:
Personally, I wouldn't have my frame powder coated. It adds weight as well as thickness where it doesn't need to be, such as inside threads, bearing/bushing press in surfaces, dropouts, etc. I have seen, over a few decades, to many people do it to motorcycle frames only to hate it afterward.
If where me, I would take advantage of the aluminum frame and look more into anodizing.
