    forks

    Put Sonic fork springs in the 81 1100 and took advantage of the forks being off and had them polished.

      Damn, dude. Those look great! I was debating on powdercoating mine black, but I may just polish them like yours!

          Thanks,
          I did the 750 forks too. No clear coat necessary (I wouldn't do it any way) just polish once in a while. Low maintenance.

                      Looks like you got that factory satin finish. Did mine and ended up almost mirror polish. How did you get them that way. Considering doing my next set satin.

                          They are a little more mirror like than they appear. How did I do it? I took them to Victoria Plating in the morning and picked them up in the afternoon. $80. For that price I'm not going to get into using nasty chemicals to get the clear coat off, plus they have all the tools to get in all the nooks and crannies. I get them to do all my polishing except for carb bits, I do those myself.
