I did my forks last year and looked into all my options. I ended up doing hard coat black and glad I did. Still looks great and I get all kinds of compliments on them.
Just make sure you go "hard coat" nor else your black forks will turn purple over time.

Is that just to anodize, or to tear apart, etc? |

there is no way id make the beast with two backsign pay $500 bones to get my shit anodzied. sorry, i rather front another $500 and just throw down for an ohlins at that point... I can remove my forks and tear them both down in less than an hour so how much of that is labor/actually anodizing? 300labor/200 anodizing???..... I thought it would be something like $150 for both tubes or something.  |

I'm sure that $500 was for a rebuild. I hope so! My tubes were ano'ed with other parts fir a batch price of $75!!! A wicked deal! But they only do hardcoat clear or black.  |

I want to add that dealing with them was not a normal purchase. I dropped my stuff off.... Never got a price quote... But was told it will be reasonable. LOL http://www.cenmet.com/Staff_Directory.htmlThe actual plant is in Windham, NH. That's who you have to call. But I don't think they do mail order. No need to mask anything. The thickness added is negligible. |
