Ok, I think I am going to ebay the westcoast I bought for my 200x. I got replacement stickers (thanks again x.system) and started to sandblast it but now I don't think I am going to use it. So my question is do you think it would be worth it for me to have it blasted and powdercoated ($60), blasted and automotive painted ($30), or leave it as is?

I havent seen it but if you started to blast it you'll have to do something with it to maximize the sale price and draw people into it ( new looking product goes along way!!!). I dont know what 200x ones go for but if its $150 or under I'd have it automotive painted to freshen it up and make people want it. If it were in the 250r sale price range of Westcoast swingers then it may be worth it to powder it to sell it. Definetly make sure those decals go on for the sale!!!

If you were going to keep it I would powder it.

Powder Coat it.
Just the words Mint Westcoast Swingarm PowderCoated with Repro Stickers should bring well over $200 I bet around $275:w00t:
Im sure the 200 x swingers are hard to come by. Powder Coat for sure.

I don't really know that is why I will ebay it. I bought it 2 years ago and since then I have only seen 2 others. It seems more rare then the 250r ones but then again most 200x's don't need a extended swinger like the 250r's do (mine is a +2").
