IMHO .... you need to do more that just the forks. I think what Mickey intends to do may do the trick .... blacken some other parts ... that may help balance out the silver and black.

In the end it's what you think looks good .... beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I agree with Doc, on both counts.. if you're gonna do it, you gotta do it all, but not just the forks.. probably a few other things to even it out, like MikeyD did where the whole front end is blacked. On the flip, I agree its what matters to you... that's what makes a bike your bike, doing to it what you want, not what the masses want.

To make the black work good, I think you would need to do the complete front end, as well as the wheels. And you may also have to ditch the swingarm covers as well. There to shiny.

I will really really like to have my forks all black out , I think I will start saving for that , it can not be that expensive to powder coat (and since I live in Mexico it might be cheaper hehe)

I think it will look good on my Salma , what do you guys think ??

By the way . . . how come all of your bikes are shiny and all clean and mine is not ?? either I am just a filthy dude or maybe you guys are way to conscious about how to keep your roadies clean , either way . . . stop it , you are making me look bad

@slothy
Dude . . . you roadie is freakin awesome !!


Send me your chrome ones and I'll send you the powder coated ones?
Shipping should'n't be too, much right?
