Re: Fork laquering
Ditto. The finish will be a bit soft at least for a few days.

Re: Fork laquering
No problem. I will give it until Thursday then put it back together. I’ll see if I can fit the shock while I wait. I only have a standard car jack and rear paddock stand to raise the back, if it doesn’t seem safe I will see if I can borrow a proper car jack off somebody

Re: Fork laquering
Nice job on the forks.
Remember that Acrylic paint is not as robust as a twin-pack but it is pretty easy to freshen up in-situ. If and when they get tatty you can just mask them up and use an old Supermarket plastic bag behind the forks/around the wheel and disc for over-spray and a quick light rub with Scotchbrite and then flash a freshner coat for as much visible area of the forks

Re: Fork laquering
They look good, now go and find a sunny spot to put them in to speed up the curing.

Re: Fork laquering
How much chopping do you plan to do to get the GSXR shock in?

Re: Fork laquering
I’m glad I can touch them up on the bike. Can’t see me taking them off for a long time now. I’ll put my oil radiator in in the garage if that will help them cure faster? The gsxr shock is off a k3 k4 model which I’m lead to believe is a straight drop in replacement, I might be wrong

Best price I ever find for Autosol is in Wilkos supermarkets where I also buy my GT85 PTFE lube which is useful for general maintenance of things and I use to re-waterproof my gloves/boots etc as it a super water repellent and inert so also protects the stitching.
