on my 06 street bob the lower forks are the brushed aluminum looking finish. they have all these marks on them that wont come off. I've tried rubbing compound and all sorts of metal polish but nothing seems to work. any advise will be greatly appreciated

 

Painting or powder coating them would be my "advice."

 

They are already clear coated. Probably chips in the coating or oxidation underneath it.

 

+1 thatis just what i was going to add... the lowers are cleared if they are though the clear bud hit me up can help you on powder

Jpace... your scoot is so SICK man. love the air ride man!

 

thanks for the info, you got 1 bad *** ride

 

def will keep you in mind bro, sick scoot

 

Thanks bro. I want to do some black powder over the winter, although I am torn between leaving the lowers & strut covers with the brushed finish and just doing the trees and fork brace black or doing everything black. I need to buy photoshop.

 

Not exactly on subject but was wondering how many have lowered the front forks in the triple clamps and by how much? I was thinking of droping the front by 1/2 " to start. Don't do alot of canyon carving but don't want to lower too much. Any comments?

 

you will be fine wiht that... cheap way for a drop.

jpace, i think keeping some brushed would tie in the wheels nicely

 

Mine are 1 inch above the trees. It leveled my bike out. I haven't had any issues.
