Vinyl-wrapped forks question... (now with finished pics!!)

[Rameses]

Here're a couple of teaser pics.

Better pics to come tomorrow after all the reassembly's done.

I like ! Good job on making it "form" fit! [moto]

I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again: I think this might be the best cosmetic mod of all time (perhaps just after the tail chop).   

It looks as good if not better than hard anodizing, and if damaged is more easily repaired.  Plus, the sky is pretty much the limit for colors.  Although (as in this case), black looks spectacular!

Nice contrast with the satin black triples, too!

Not to mention it actually PROTECTS your forks from damage.
Nice job man, this is going to look the tits.

Any debris that would damage the fork won't be stopped by vinyl, but it might protect against small scratches.

Hey Rameses, if you dont mind can you tell me where you picked up and the part number of the vinal you used on your bike ?
That is the EXACT look I want for my Monster's forks..

The vinyl I used is Avery A6 in flat black.

I got it from BastardHK here on the board.  He knows his stuff and is a great guy to work with.   



I just got home from finishing it up and pics are uploading as I type this.  Should just be a few more minutes and I'll post them up.

As promised.  (Albeit after going out for a few St Patty's Day beers... sorry for the delay.)












Black hard-anodized for comparison...





My two accomplices, Jobu and Pompetta... (thanks for all the help guys! )





And thanks again Dave for letting me tie up space in your garage for what seemed like forever.   

[He Man]

that looks really neat. 

could you show some pics of where the two ends meet?

Those're strategically hidden around the backside of the forks.

I'll see if I can get a good shot of them tomorrow though.

Looks great !
How much did you order Vs. how much vinal did you actually use for the project ?

Any time!  

How was rear the suspension for the ride home?

Did your brake pedal make it, or did Jobu swerve, open the car door and scoop it off I40?

The suspension felt the same as it always has.

And no theatrics were required of Kent.

I periodically checked to make sure the lever was still there with my toe and I'm gonna go get a bolt for it in a little while.

lmao at the seven tail chops hanging on the wall
