After 80,000 miles the stick on Alu weave on the front forks was looking a little the worse for ware.

So this evening I thought I'd replace it.

As it's me, and I always like to try something new and a bit different, I've done this.

Don't know how durable it'll be, but it looks good and no polishing.

And the finishing touch.

Neat job :thumbsup: . Not sure about the chequer plate pattern myself but it's certainly different.

Goes well with the neon lighting kit and the Burburry baseball cap ;)

We all laugh, it'll be all the rage soon :?

So did i, my best trick was to get the fork legs shot plasted and powder coated as they then arre effectivly corrosion free, not as shiny but only take a quick polish and only cost me £30!! however, dont ever get t cut on the powder coaating and wipe it off #-o as it now needs re doing on the top of the left fork leg f***!!! and it can be donw inbetween you waiting for the inebertable fork springs to arrive from harris! ( i did it while my bike was in the repair shop)

just a though- more drastic but so far good!

Sorry. My two cents.

You could have washed the wheel for the photo top job on the forks. :lol:

I think it looks a bit too obviously aftermarket, but the basic look's fine. I like the diamond plate, got a diamond-plate guitar scratchplate on one of my Strats :)
