Fork colour
I'm looking to change the colour of my silver forks to black in the near future.
Can anybody give me any feedback if you've already done this mod. Anodise - Powder Coat or Spray. I will also be replacing the springs at the same time. Cheers, Jim.

Re: Fork colour
That needs more black
What's up with the swingarm?I got mine powdercoated, back when I had SV forks... Spraying looks great, but I've yet to see a resprayed fork stay looking great for all that long, 5000 miles later they're usually peppered.

Re: Fork colour
I'm very interested in getting my forks powder coated, only thing is, i don't fancy a 'glossy' finish to them. Would this be the case with powder coating?

Re: Fork colour
no, you can get a matt finish, although it is more of a satin finish really. the frame in the pics is powder coated black, matt balck, but its reallt smooth, but not glossy at all.
