Default Fat Bob black upper forks (TARTAN2)

Hi folks,

I'm wondering how TARTAN2 got the black color on the upper fork tubes of his Fat Bob. I've been reading his gaitors thread and see the uppers are also black and I'm wondering how to achieve the same look.

Thanks!

Jake

Jake,
Not sure how he did it, but here are some ways some have done it. Use black PVC pipe cut to the size and slipped over them, or some have cut the pipe and got it around them, and then myself, I used black leather cut to the size and sewed on velcro strips and just wrapped them that way. Easy to remove and install with the velcro straps.
Hope that helps...

That's a darn good idea. 2" ID (inside diameter) PVC would fit over the fork tube with just a smidgeon to spare.
