Looks really good! How long though, i wonder, before you have to do it all again? I had my forks repainted, but do wish they where still shiny

I thought of that but all my sanding discs are course would have made a mess did it on the gsxr with fine paper did the job.

Polished mine the day I bought it. They still look good today, just have to keep using the Autosol after every wash (thats the bike, not me) :D

Thats the kind of effort a student like me can't be bothered to make!!!

:D

I'll only stick GSXR forks on at some point anyway, and discover a thing called "damping"
