With doing an 06/07 front fork/brake Systems I wanted the iconic 96 purple fork guards. I tried vinyl first, this was the first attempt I’m sure I can do much better. I do think I may try & find a close plastic paint & aerosol them

Here’s a pic of 1st attempt

Sprayed the fork guards, nothings perfect but it’s giving me that 96 look with a better suspension

Cerakote is back. Buddy laced the wheels up from chrome spokes but I actually have black spoke/chrome nipples for this bike.
