Powder coated fork lowers

Hi all,

As this seems to be a popular mod, and one people often ask about, I thought I'd post up some images of my new shiny fork lowers.

£40 for the pair to be blasted, masked off where required and powdercoated. I'm still going to run a length of protective clear vinyl up the front edge though.

While the forks were apart I also changed the fork oil (12.5w), and replaced the oil and dust seals.

Polish that down pipe lol! They look good them forks, i did the other popular one thats rubbing them right down with wet and dry n polishing the f*ck out of them! - ........waits for the joke.

It would be nice to have an uber shiny bike, but keeping the downpipe and front cylinder in good nick seems like a lot of effort, and kinda delaying the inevitable!

Aye, I'd rather ride it then polish it.

Where did you get them powder coated?

Also, any reason you did not get the yokes done as well?

A little engineering place in Windsor, I can dig out their details if you wish?

The bottom yoke had some surface rust, but nothing major. No real reason really, just didn't think about it!

they have done a good job there, I personally would have went black or a colour other than close to standard, but a good job none the less

Sam, let me know where you had them done as I have some footrests and rearsets need doing.

I did think about black (and balancing them with a black carbon end can), and also thought about gold for that TiN WSB look!

I got a picture of my bike into Photoshop and had a play around, but wasn't to keen on the results!

FG1, I'll get the guys name and number and post it here. Are you going to the Shire tomorrow evening?

fair doos, like i say.... good job, ive not had anything powder coated but £40 the pair with the prep work too sounds like a bargain.
