Looks great! What is your plan for the top of the fork tubes?

Originally I was going to get the forks coated in gold but can't justify cost right now.

I had a fork seal leaking so whilst both were fixed under warranty I had the boots fitted. The upper forks are going to be blacked out with the vinyl covers that hold together with velcro. They look good, are easy to fit and easy to take off for cleaning etc. That'll do it until I get it coated in gold.

That's not a cheap part, but if that lathe is yours, guess the forks are within affordability. Post pics when installed. tp

Not my shop, it’s my brothers. I think that’s the smallest lathe he has. Most of his machines are CNC Mazaks like this. About 15-20k pounds each! It’s awesome to watch them work.

You had me at the lathe. The CNC's are icing on the "Unavailable Parts Makers" cake. Still wanna see pics when the forks are installed. tp

👍. The parts makers will be making my new shoes shortly!




I’ll definitely update once I get the new front end on.
