Hey guys, met some of you.. hope to be able to come to more gathers.
Thought I would post up some pictures of my bike... recently had a bunch of stuff powder coated and now just got the forks vinyl'd. Gave it a quick bath, nothing special so it isn't fully clean... but I prefer to ride my bike versus bath it.
how it started.
now after a bunch of things PC'd and vinyl on the forks. I also plan on taking some cool shots in the mtns this summer in interesting light (like the above photo).

I was going to... but the lady that used to do my vinyl when I raced cars called me and said she wanted to try it after all. Cost me virtually nothing and I think she did a pretty good job. But thanks, I did contact those guys and was planning on using them.

I didn't do them, but I sat around talking with my old vinyl lady as she put it on for me. Basically she had about a yard of flat black vinyl laying around. She cut sheets slightly bigger than the exposed section of fork. Put it on, used a propane torch to quickly flash the vinyl and stretch it onto the fork... repeat until it was all the way around. Cut excess off with an exacto. The seam is on the inside. The top and middle were easy. The lower has a flare, so she put a small strip on the larger bottom part, then pulled the vinyl over and cut on that seam between the 2 larger diameter parts at the bottom of the fork. Took about 1hr for someone experienced with vinyl, but she had never put vinyl on a fork before. She said she doesn't want to do it again.

Classy upgrades. Aggreed, the darker the better.
Powder coated exhaust would add to the Darkster look
