Yes or no to vinyl wrapping forks?
Yes or no to vinyl wrapping forks?
So, been giving some thought to possibly vinyl wrapping my forks black. Had it on before but (foolishly) peeled it off so am now debating whether I should re-do them...
Picture taken this morning (started right away after winter in storage, woohoo!):
Blacked out forks (with Paint software):
FYI: New bars (replacing red from last year)... stealthier looking...

Have you got black stanctions? That looks cool.
I like the gold but I think it depends on what look your going for.

Easy for me, I prefer function over cosmetics. Is there better performance? No. Is there more weight? Yes
Re: Yes or no to vinyl wrapping forks?
well, considering I have shed about 80 lbs of weight from the bike (much of it rotating), I think I can spare 10 g of vinyl

Stay gold, it looks good on the bike, and you can overdo the black theme

Get rid of that wooden mirror extender on the right mirror first. I know you're Canadian but that's taking the lumberjack theme too far!!!
